Tuxedo, Blue Jeans or Guard for King Ranch?

Hypothetical, I'm building out my dream truck and I'm torn over three colors.

Here's the spec:
King Ranch 6.5' 4x4
3.5L EcoBoost
601A
FX4
Tow Package
Tech Package
Active Park Assist
Adaptive Cruise
Spray-In Bedliner
36-Gallon Tank
Panoramic Sunroof
Wheel Well Liners
3.55 Rear Axle

I like the Caribou lower two-tone, but which color goes best?

Tuxedo Black



Blue Jeans



Guard

I love the blue jeans color, but with the caribou two-tone, I think the guard or black looks best. Since I don't have to wash it, I'd go with tuxedo black!

Personally, I love the metallic flake in tuxedo black. From what I understand, the black for '16 won't have the metal flake, so it would be a unique truck. Plus, black is SHARP when it is clean!

Of course, that's IMHO. I've never owned a black vehicle, and probably won't, because I just can't wash it enough to keep it looking nice.

I've owned 3 black vehicles, I will agree they looked beautiful when clean, and by that I mean for the cpl hrs after I washed them . Drove me Crazy!

But mostly in this case I meant, all new truck, all new colors, why black? And i bet the other 2 new colors are more unique than a non-metalic black. If I were in the market for a new vehicle i wouldn't even purchase white again.

They all look good in the King Ranch two-tone, but I would lean more toward the Blue Jeans because I would spend most of the time driving it while wearing blue jeans

I love the blue jeans blue but if I'm not mistaken they are also dropping the guard color for 2016 so like the tuxedo black, you would have a more unique color with guard.

I would pick guard!

Seriously? Guard just came out on the '15s! If I get one I'll wait for the '16 because of the new Sync 3, but Guard has really grown on me.

I agree with Andrew, Guard was a good color w/ the Caribou two-tone on the King Ranch.

The black and the blue look like Lariats. Something about the Guard screams KR.

Black is the best color except it is too much work for me to keep nice.
If you can handle black go with it. The blue and guard are dark colors anyways and will have the same maintenance almost.
