Silver is my preferred color in the 2017. I am currently in Afghanistan, but when I get closer to heading home, I am ordering one in silver. I would love to see this pictures of ones already out there.

No color available will make that grill look good. The silver goes better with the wheels.

I agree that Silver is the best color, then again, I'm a bit biased.... :)

when I ordered mine I went back and forth between silver and white. I choose white and I have no regrets as I love the contrast with the graphics but the silver is a great color too

Silver was my first choice because it hides dirt and scratches so well. It's the most bland color though.

WRONG!


Beige is the blandest generic car color of all time.

And 1990's Teal comes in second place for worst color ever.

I've been trying to talk myself into a new Power Wagon for a while (I'd like to have heated leather seats and the Rambox). I just can't get over the new grill.

Agreed black shows everything, got it muddy this pass weekend and had to clean her. But what I bought was a new pickup and no matter what color it was I would not be running the trails hard, that is what a old pickup or jeep is for. What I wanted was a new truck and I bought the best looking, bad ass, OEM truck on the market! And once she gets some age on her maybe then I get some sliders and really see what she can do until then if I am out and get my self in trouble I know I can get my self out :rockon:

PS: Great ride and plenty of power :mrgreen:

I don't recall those two colors being an option when I bought my truck. They did have a white truck but I wanted bland, not gay.

When was the last time you wore a harness and inserted a cam into a crack?

Still think RAM made a terrible design choice when the got rid of the PowerWagon grill. I understand it's cheaper to just mold a Rebel grill and call it a day. Crazy thing is I get the most looks from people regarding the red trim in the grill, my PowerWagon is black and the red makes it pop like a mofo!

That's the ugliest grille they ever made. Right up there with the "BRO LOOK AT MY TRUCK" decals. :run:

I looked into it and the 2017 PW Grill is actually a different part # that the Rebel, also way more money. The ones I found were about $950, the Rebel grills have been on E-bay for $400 ish ?? The attaching points on teh back as well as the lower bar are different. I kinda like the look of them ....
