I like the Silver it is a lot easier to keep clean than red, and the rims match the pait really well. My paint is very good on my truck. The re looks cool, but I feel it atracks to much attention, the Siler is a little more of a sleeper look.

White or silver looks best with the clear tailights. Red is the horniest. Black is the most aggressive.

You pick the color. You have to drive it.

all depends on what you want i guess. girls are constantly staring at the red one. grey if you dont want to be noticed. black if you like to clean your truck a lot.

I just got out of a black truck in march, and while black looks the best clean, I will never own another black vehicle again. That said I guess I would choose silver. See below.

Silver is easy to keep clean. The rims match a silver truck.
5 minutes after you wash a black car, you have to clean it again.

Silver is the best. It is so easy to keep clean. But it is hard to get paint to match on the hoods and bedcovers or what ever else you want to put on.

I'm real biased. What can I say?
Oh, I have NO paint problems. I find the quality and finish to be VERY Good.

White or silver would be my first choices because they are easy to maintain. Black is killer looking when it is clean but is hard to keep looking good. Red draws attention for sure. Sometimes good, sometimes not. All the colors are great on this truck.

I love my silver easy to clean, looks good dirty and the wheels match. The metallic looks good in the street lights at night. Good Luck!
