Help me pick a color- Trading in my 2017 ram 1500 Hemi for Ecodiesel

[N89]

I decided to trade in my 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie with the Hemi on a 2018 Laramie ecodiesel, my current truck is pearl White but i was thinking of going with the Granite metallic instead. What do you guys think of this color?

Yes I do love the White but I am leaning towards the Granite, and it would kind of match the color of my mustang so that's a bonus right there.

Tough one .......both nice , good luck lol

[Ponyryd]

Granite is an awesome colour, do it!

[Blackmare]

Granite looks amazing.

[94stang87]

Do the Granite same colour as my new van

[Screw]

Looking at it again , I must say....



Granite ftw

[Das 5.0]

Granite would be my pick ...

[N89]

Thanks for the replies, I was also thinking Granite but was second guessing myself.
It's weird but I'm more excited for the new truck than I was for the 17 even though they are basically the same truck.
Going to do the deal tomorrow afternoon, I'll post some pics when I pick it up.

Colour looks nice, any thoughts on Maximum Steel Metallic?

No matter the colour make sure you get a service contract for it

This poll sucks! Only 2 colour choices? :thumbsdown:




....although the Granite does look nice.

Lol, I'm a Black or White kind of guy so the Granite is a step up for me.

[N89]

Picked it up yesterday, couldn't be happier with the color
Here are some pics of it next to its little brother.

Yes, i am actually helping him to fix up his garage so the car is outside for now.
I also have another neighbour with a beautiful 2017 c7, there are a lot of car guys in my neighbourhood

Looks amazing. Great choice.

Love the Laramie chrome against that color.

Yes, the chrome really pops on the darker colours. Here is a pic after the first wash.

Great looking new Rig. Love the colour, my old Ram was Mineral Grey (predecessor to Granite) and it was a joy, kinda regret ordering Black Crystal on my Sport (not really but regret the upkeep for sure).

FWIW my buddies at FCA say the latest version of the EcoD is the most robust. Is it your first diesel or have you owned one before? Make sure you stay on top of the diesel specific maintenance like checking and replacing the fuel filters more often and draining the water separator and adhere to MOPARS revised oil specs (sorry if you know all this already).

Max Steel has the multi color metallic in it I believe where as Granite is a standard metallic. Generally Max Steel will have more of a blue hue and Granite will have more of a brown/gray hue.

Beautiful truck.
I thin k mine is a tad darker than yours, it almost looks like a matt finish up close.

Yes this is my first diesel, but my boss owns one of the earlier models (2014 I think) with almost 200,000 km's without any issues so far.
As for the maintenance I know nothing about maintaining a diesel, but I have the mechanic that looks after my company's fleet and he is great so I shouldn't have any problems there.
I am really liking the fuel economy, put 790 km's on it on the first tank of diesel, with an average of 11.4L/100km's. The best I did on my Hemi was 14.3 I think.

Good #s, my 5.7 Hemi is around 21l/100km , but all city and a lot of idle on job sites. You guys running a Ram fleet? Jealous if thats the case, I want us to switch over so badly.

We used to be all Ford econoline but switched over to the Ram promaster in the last few years, we only have 2 econolines right now.
The guys really like the extra headroom in the cargo area with the Ram promaster.

Granite is looking good but I like the white one.
