I have a dark shadow grey Fx4 and love the color.

I also have an Oxford White 94 Tbird Supercoupe and love it as well!


Tough choice.

Im afraid I would have to go with the Dark Shadow Gray. But I might be prejudiced:

From a care standpoint, the white will be considerably easier to take care of, hide surficial blemishes, and keep clean.

DSG looks 10x better, but that white is 10x easier to care for...

So ask yourself... is the truck going to be a commuter/garage queen or an actual work truck?

grey all the way, i have had 4 dark shadow grey trucks, and love the color!!! it is so easy to take care of, and i think it dont show stuff much at all... personally i think its alot easier to take care of then white, i had a white WRX and it was a paid to keep clean, u could take it to the car wash, and later wipe ur finger down it and it would still be dirty, and truck wise, white shows mud and dirt so easy.... also, my girlfriend has a 04' white tahoe, and she washes hers 2-3 times a week to my 1 time to get it to look as clean...

DSG all the way!!!!!!!

I went with black because when it looks good it looks "REALLY" good. White never looks as good as dark when its clean.

I went with the white because it was one of the few colors you could get mono-tone and I wanted the black interior. "I didn't like the two tone option on the Lariat" The white is by no means easy to keep clean. When I hand wash it it's very easy to notice every little spec of dirt and I drive myself crazy trying to get it clean. But IT is harder to notice paint chips on white. But I did have a 2002 Bright Red FX4 and I think the it was easier to keep looking clean. If I could have got the Bright Red in a Lariat I were have done it a heart beat. But the white does look sharp when it's all cleaned up and the wheels are dressed. Good Luck!

Previous F150 was white, 04 SCAB F150 is DSG. White is nice and easy to care for but the Grey kicks butt, especially with black aftermarket trim items.

Its all personal choice...

They all look good... just get the color you feel you'll be happiest with. I got white because this is the 1st vehicle in a long time thats not parked in a garage so I figured white shows less dust than the rest... I'm glad I made that choice. I also wanted the black leather interior because all my other cars have had lite colored leather (tan and shell) which is a pain to keep clean.

Mine is Oxford White:

Easy to maintain, and even when it's "dirty" it looks clean from a distant. I chose the white because my last truck was black. Black is a B-E-A-U-tiful color on a truck, but if you fart next to it.....you leave a mark. White is easier to maintain. The darker you go, the more "cleaning" you have to do.

So, ask yourself this, "do you wanna spend every weekend keeping her clean?"
