Default New Laramie

As of last night, deposit is down on a new Laramie Austin Tan. Couldn't pass up $12K off the MSRP. Can't wait to take delivery next week.

Good color for the Laramie especially if it has the brown interior. I had to settle for the stone white ext with charcoal int on my '09 TRX due to limited availablity.

YOU WILL LUV YOUR NEW RIDE !! And this Ram forum...lots of good ideas here.

Thanks. It does have the light pebble interior. The white laramie also looks good. I was pulled between the austin tan and the metallic graphite, but in the end I liked the looks of the austin tan. Can't wait to pick it up.

I've have the same truck with the 4x4, love the color, my last 2 trucks were black, loved them but they show everything, the tan doesn't show the dirt like the darker colors. good luck, congratulations.

Austin Tan was in my top three along with Inferno Red and Deep Water Blue. Ended up getting Deep Water Blue due to availability as well. I'm very happy with it, but those Austin Tan trucks always turn my head when I see them, especially the two tones... Congrats on your new Ram, you're going to love it.

SInce I had mine I put some nice Westin Bars on it and a bed rug and tinted the front windows, hosestly I don't think I am going to do anything else to it as for me it is perfect. Here are some pics if you want to see

The 3.92 axle is the only thing it does not have. I wish it did, but none of the stock laramies seem to have them. I would have had to order the truck and would have likely lost out on about $2K in rebates. Taking one off the lot gave me more buying power than I could have imagined. I figured I was lucky enough to find one in the color I like, so I would do without the higher gear ratio. It's not that big of a difference. I really think that the Laramies look sharp in every color, but I figured the tan would be lower maintenance with cleaning.

Thanks for all the congrats.....
