Ok...you guys have helped me with this tremendous decision so far. I am trying to decide what color to go with on the interior. I am getting a bright red exterior but cant decide on interior. Dealer hasnt got a red with either. They have one with tan leather. What do y'all think. I dont want anything that will show stains too bad. I am planning on going with fox weatherboots (black only) and wet okole seat covers after delivery. I am ordering Monday (April 16) so kinda rushed. Thanks.

mine is medium graphite and I like it. Of course I am color blind . Any with leather you don't have to worry about stains cause you just turn the garden hose loose on the interior . Seriorsly I ordered all my truck with med graphite and they are great my neighbour has tan and it is nice too but coffee shows up on it. I don't drink coffee so I am safe. even if I did I would consider suicide if I spilled anything in my SuperCrew hehe. That is what the work trucks are for... spilling, denting and breaking stuff.

I know you will love your truck any way you get it but you will always see another down the road and think it looks better. Kinda like women

Catch ya later

scooby,
I recently ran into the same situation when i orderded my truck in feburary of this year.I asked the salesman what he thought of the two interiors and he said the DARK graphite is nicer than medium.He didn't have a truck on the lot to show me but begged me to get dark saying that i would not be sorry.When i picked it up in 2 weeks ago,the first thing i did was open the door and check it out.Simply put I'm a very picky person and this interior really made a statement with me.I'm glad he told me to order dark because i would be really mad if i had seen one and had not ordered it.
PLEASE GET THE DARK GRAPHITE YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!!!

I have seen the red with the dark graphite in a 01 screw, really sweet. Have never seen a medium graphite.

Get the Dark Graphite... that way you can trade me for the Medium Parchmont cloth my truck came with off the lot I much would've preferred a darker color!

I'd have to agree with the majority. I really looked both of them over because I originally planned on going with the medium graphite but after studying both interiors several times/days/weeks, I went with the Dark and am very happy with my decision!
(BTW - I'm talking about the Cloth interior... you didn't really say which you were thinking of!)

Yeah I am going with the cloth (XLT). I looked at both of them but one was white and the other was black (exteriors) and couldn't really decide. I think I will go with dark especially since the weatherboots are black and the wet okoles are trimmed in black. Called dealership and salesman wont be back in until next Friday so have to wait four more days. Doesnt make much difference though. I've waited this long. Hard to believe that it's finally time that I can order. CANT'T WAIT!! Thanks for all y'alls help. Decision made.

DARK! DARK! DARK! I have the Dark Graphite on my Toreador Red Supercrew and I have recieved a lot on compliments on it. I think the dark graphite is a little more unusual and it looks great on RED trucks, well hell, it looks great on all trucks.

------------------

 

I have Silver on Dark Graphite, and 30 mos later, it still looks like new.

Get the Dark. As mentioned, you won't be disappointed. Just take a look at the door panel on a medium graphite, then the one on a dark graphite, that should make up your decision.

hth.

Just a thought... but to those of you who are in love with the dark graphite.... have you weathered a hot summer with your S'Crew yet? If so.... doesn't the dark graphite retain more heat?

 

i have a toreador red with dark graphite - it's a great combo

I have the Dark Graphite in my Expy. Granted the Expy has front and rear A/C but the summer heat has never been an issue. The darker color is much easier to keep clean. That's why I went with the same color on my new S-Screw! LOVE IT!

We went with the dark graphite then had the front windows tinted. In the summer you'll have a more shaded and cooler feeling atmosphere. I also added a dashmat which cuts glare and keeps the dash cooler.
