    Desert Sand Mica is not a very popular color, but is better than silver at hiding dirt. I don't believe it's available on the new trucks.

    silver or white are definately the best for hiding dirt and light scratches

    Agree with you here. I've only owned silver vehicles previously for the same reason but had no willpower when I saw the DC LB Timberland Mica sitting in the lot :p. It's a very dark color in some lighting situations, and it makes you to keep it clean always chasing that deep dark perfect look. It does show brush scratches and dirt fairly easily, but I try and minimize further scratching by keeping it waxed and clean before and after I hit the trails.
