    I try to stay neutral and choose colors for practical reasons. E.G. I don't like colors that are the same color as pavement or snow so that I am more visible to other drivers. Although I really like the look of those silver tacos. I eventually went with indigo ink, as I both think its a nice looking color and will not camouflage me on the roadway.

    True that. When I visited the dealership in March, I wanted a 4 cylinder, 5 spd Access Cab and I needed it in a hurry. They had a silver truck, a red truck and a grey truck all lined up for me to choose from. I chose red and I'm perfectly happy with my decision.

    Now I'm trying to figure out where to mount the 900w power inverter. Under the drivers seat looks good.

    ya black looks really nice, but its the worst color to own, it attracts the sun and cooks in dirt, as well it looks dirty with less dirt on it and it gets so f'n hot, ill never buy a black vehicle again.. well i shouldnt say that I might if i once own a garage

    disagree, White looks awesome clean or dirty and it hides swril marks better then the others.
