Go Royal Red. My dad just picked his '09 KR in Royal Red on yesterday. Very, very nice color. Pros - bad@ss color and not white

Just kidding, man.

I personally like the white better. But I agree with ibcop the Razor Red looks awesome, this coming from a guy who hates red.

I prefer most whites. The only white I don't like is the GM white. Go figure....

OP, great question!

My previous '05 and '07 trucks were oxford white. The white can be very dirty and look clean. It's a very forgiving color, terrific for a daily driver. The downside is that it's white. You can apply all the wax or polish you can stand, but the depth and reflection will be so slight.

I bought an '09 KR in Royal Red and love it. It's a weird kind of metallic red. In shade, it looks like burgundy but put it in the sun, and the metallic paint sparkles. I really like it. Nice change from a white. Downside is dirt becomes apparent easier. But the nicer point is you can see depth and reflections on the paint if you wax/polish it.

Overall, I think a KR in white looks great and so it does in Royal Red. With those two colors, you can't go wrong. Whichever color makes you smile more, buy that color.

Hey, that's great. I was about to buy another white truck but I didn't like it(various reasons). Salesman scrambled to pull out a newly arrived KR from the back. He thought I might like a Royal Red colored KR. Darn it, he was right.

What options are you getting on the KR?
