Lariat Color Choice
It's about time for me to trade in the '95 Explorer and order the new Lariat 4x4. I've had no problems deciding on options with the exception of color. I'd like this boards knowledge, not just opinions, of the long term looks of the below colors. The vehicle will be a daily driver that will see frequent trips to the hunting camp.
Choices narrowed down to:
White / Az Beige
Black / Az Beige
Med Wedgewood Blue / Az Beige
Dark Stone / Az Beige
Which color will scratches be least evident on? or which color will I have the most luck concealing scratches?
Which color will show the least dirt?
Which color do each of you feel will retain its luster after 8 yrs? Assuming I clean each of them equally
Thanks in advance for the help, I'm stumped....

My guess would be the white/beige combo, but I am not familiar with the dard stone. I bet its a pretty sweet looking color. Don't get black. It looks the better than any other color when it is clean and well taken care of but it is a very big committment to care for and will show ALL scratches.

This is getting really difficult, I'm starting to want to put in the extra TLC and get a more appealing color than white, although it was my original choice. It's just the door dings and such that I cannot control that worry me.
Rock Pick - what do you think about the Dark Stone, it's a unique color, that definately changes with light?
If I could give up the creature comforts of the Lariat, which I can't, I would have no problems. Definately my favorite would be the white/dr grey that comes in teh Fx4. Too bad thats not an option for me.

I'd suspect that it'd tend to fall more in the 'arizona beige' catergory in that it will show scratches and such but not on a 'big time' level. Not sure honestly...
From a door ding perspective, I think just about every color will show them. It's all going to depend on the light in which you're viewing them...

Black will show scratches the most. White will show dirt the most. Earth tones will hide dirt the best, but they also make you less visible to other drivers.
Of those four choices, I like the stone best and wedgewood blue second. I'd take the Aspen Green over all of them though (I got to drool over Gearhead's '05 King Ranch last weekend).

I'll compromise and let 1/2 the truck be Az Beige. How bout that?? Do you have a leveling kit on your truck? Looks great
