    I love the looks of a red truck but it's a pain in the ass to keep clean, the grey would be much easier.

    I love my radiant red. My other choice would have been speedway blue. For the '09, I would choose Timberland Mica over Gray.

    The red isn't any harded to keep clean than white or black.

    GET the MGM! ! !

    I love to keep the RAD RED more unique. I'm glad they got rid of it for 09. I've already seen an onslaught of MGM in Socal already. They are popping up like the Silvers now. Don't get me wrong, the MGM is an awesome color.


    I don't think the red is that hard to take care of. Even when its dirty, people always say my truck looks nice. Its the black you have to worry about.

    I actually like the PYRITE. Very unique color scheme that will blend in with black.

    I bought a MGM but i can see why someone would like any one of the colors. I like most of them in one way or another and some more than others from one week to the next. The red is sharp as well.

    I had to revisit the same 3-5 dealers lots probably 3-4 times each under different weather conditions before i convinced myself to go with the MGM over the BK. SP. If the indigo ink was available this year, i might still be weighing the options, but i definitely wanted the 09'.

    My last one was a black sand pearl and i kept that thing shining, even after 8 yrs in upstate NY. I go to the power wash in 20 degree weather with my damp chamois, a 5 gallon (old joint compound) capped bucket filled with carwash and cool / luke warm water and a towel and pop quarters. A lot of times, a thin layer of ice forms on it after i rinse it and before i can dry it. Give me a day off and 40+ degrees and i'll wax it...

    I would've gone for Rad Red but it is no longer available for 09 and ended up with MGM

    Indigo Ink is an awesome color and I was very bummed when they dropped it from the line. Today I saw 4 on the road.

    I live in socal and have only seen one MGM on the road so far. I also saw the pyrite mica and it looks good for a brown color.

    Have a dealer park two dc long beds together, one of each color. I really like my MGM.
