Two tone white over silver

I love this forum - any excuse to post a picture!!!
Our two-tone was specifically chosen for the Airstream.
We didn't think there was a blue that would match well - at least not from Ford.

It's all real. It was our campsite at the Badlands National Park a year and a half ago.

Hi 74"Twinkie",

Neat setup. What is your tow-vehicle model/year and trailer model/year?

I'm inclined to prefer "brilliant silver metallic", "Oxford white", and "black" in that order. They also have a "white sand tri-coat metallic" which is the only one that costs extra ($500).

Thoughts? Monochromatic color palette? Or pop of color?

I think my Combo looks like a pretty HOT pair. My 17ft AS Safari Sport and my Jeep Commander 4x4 V8 limited. Here's a pic of what they look like together.

Awesome bunch of replies. What a great group this is here.

I think I was right that Airstream tow vehicles tend to be colorless (somewhere between white and black inclusive).

I'm leaning towards Black, followed by Sliver, followed by White.

Read Durangos might be going bye-bye in the new world order of the auto industry.

I like either yellow or black. My mood will determine which color vehicle I use.
