I'm just curious to see what people's opinion's are regarding two-tone vs. monotone. I've created a poll so if you own an Outdoorsman, Laramie or Longhorn, indicate whether you bought Monotone or Two-tone. Thanks!

A list (worth all of 2 cents). . .
1.) The two-tone Laramie's (silver bottom) are beautiful.
2.) The two-tone Longhorn's (gold bottom) are meh, OK.
3.) The fancier the truck, the harder it will age.
Conversely, a rather boring lower trim monotone truck will still look fresh even after many years of service.
If you can afford a new truck every few years, the snazzy two-tone trucks are indeed beautiful.
As for me, (averaging about 8 years per vehicle), a dull and boring grey monotone Longhorn is the only way to go.
An unrelated Side Note: I envy those that get a 24 month lease and virtually get a brand-new truck every two years for life. That's the way to do it! :beerchug:

There is one exception to the "Lame" rule...
A white gen-4 Laramie with the silver two-tone treatment.
Sweeet... But it would age mighty hard.
Yeah, yeah, I know... It's a "fem" truck, but it still looks damn sharp to me.
Just sayin' :smiley_thumbs_up:

Hate to thread-jack the poll but. . .I love the two tones. My first 2500, a 2001 was blue and silver. Then I had a 2005 all white and a 13 and was unsatisfied with both of them....
...This is my dream truck..........

What was the problem with your 01 and the 05 ? :4-dontknow:

And while I'm in edit mode (and sort of on topic) let me ask this:
How would I structure a poll to underscore that fact that the old guys here like the two-tone trucks and the younger fellows tend to go for the monotone?

I liked the 2001 was a quad 8 ft bed, it was too small and started getting up in miles (130,000), had the 360. My 2005 was a quad with 8 ft bed (80,000) with the 5.7 , I dont like white, it was rusting out everywhere and just started to fall apart and things stopped working.
My 2013 was a crew cab 8 ft bed (24,000) 5.7 and it really wasnt what I wanted . I needed to replace the 05' and this was the only one available not white with the 8 ft bed within 200 miles .
This 2015 I drove 505 miles for each way to purchase it...The sunroof was the clincher.

Thanks for that info polara71.
Thus far, for me, the color is the most difficult thing to decide on. Too much to choose from, and they all look so nice.
BTW; That was a good post. The Pics make the post a winner!

I can see why.......gorgeous! I was looking at a Power Ram in 2013, my wife commented on the in your face color it was. She also reminded me of the Electric blue that was out ten plus years ago. I love the color as long as it isnt my truck. I require more subtlety :smileup:
