White if you want to stay cool. Black if you want to look cool.

color

we have alway preferred lighter colors, cooler in summer and easier to keep clean. White, silver, and now white gold (which ford doesn't offer on Super Duties anymore)

We went with Silver Spruce on our new Ford. I really think any color looks great!

I think "Bahama Blue" and Aluminum go very well together.

Obviously silver to match the trailer. Additionally, a true purist will go with an aluminum truck to pull the aluminum trailer...

Brian, red isn't easy to see at night. You need a new truck, maybe fire engine yellow.

Just about any color goes with silver. However, not pink.

I like red vehicles, but the only speeding ticket I ever got in my life, decades ago, was in a car that color. Ever since then, I've called that color "write-me-a-ticket red."

You're right,, statistics have shown that red colored vehicles are pulled over at a greater percentage rate than other colors.
However,, red is a color that has a higher representation among "high performance" vehicles,, but the statistics still hold up.
Of one thing there can be no argument, red is the fastest fading color.

Smile Never any doubt!

It was going to be silver/black two tone, just like the trailer!


NOTE: Picture was taken the day we took delivery!

I wanted silver, but my white truck was too good a value to pass up. White is good too!
