What color tow vehicle goes best with an Airstream?

Okay, here's a question for all of you. My wife and I will be getting a new tow vehicle within a year and we'd like to know what your opinions are on the best matching color an Airstream? We're not sure. Right now we have a charcoal grey truck but all suggestions are welcome. Incidentally, the charcoal grey truck rocks with the Airstream!

Yes, I decided on the silver/grey also, but when a deal too good to pass up on a like new Tundra in white, came along, I took it. I think white looks good, so does red.

Like stated any color goes good with AS but if I would ever pur. another tv it would be some color like my 2012 Ford Escape that is maybe a subtle gold or so as does not show dirt like some colors do. I wash often but no dirt showing as my other vehicles with random colors do show dirt

The marketing minds worked hard to name that one.

Truck looks great.

I prefer Toyota Tacoma (Tundra eventually) in silver metallic. With a matching cab-high camper it looks really good according to my wife (the only opinion that really matters [emoji3])Click image for larger version

Ford marketing chose red - you can find pictures of a red F250 pulling an Airstream on their 250 webpages

All your rigs look beautiful and it's making our decision that much more difficult. Thanks so much for all the pictures.

I'd say black, but Im biased that's what I have!

And I also think black and chrome is the best combination for a motorcycle - just traded it on a VW GTI! ( black) Did I say I like black? (Henry Ford did as well !)
