What color?

So I have been poking around these forums at least once a day for about 3 weeks. I have been doing extensive research, getting to know the vehicle, and seeing what I want. I have finally decided, 100%, that I want a King Ranch. The color is what I'm down to now. Either the burgundy or black.
So what are people's thoughts? On everything from options if you had a chance to "rebuy" your truck or just a recommendation on the color?
Thanks in advance!

I LOVE my black. But in the KR trim I like the burgundy too.

ever had a black vehicle before? they look great clean.. but almost never are. and look worse (in my opinion dirty)..

the same dirt on a white truck is mostly invisible, but glaring on black.

Black is a commitment color. You have to be committed to keeping it clean if you want to look good all the time and that takes a lot of effort. This is a big truck and it has lots of square footage that is difficult to reach. Weekly washes would be a minimum.

Brown, on the other hand, will look good even when neglected for weeks. Heck, it's BROWN. The color of dirt. Depends upon how **** you are about keeping it clean.

Yeah I agree on the black. I didn't mean the brown though, I meant the Maroon color...or burgundy or whatever they call it.

black is beautiful clean but rarely stays that way. if you're really particular don't get black. it will drive you nuts and it shows everything.

Ford calls it Royal Red. It was on my list until I saw the UPS truck brown...I find it necessary to wash mine at least 3 times a week though...cuts down on the ugly part of brown

I was going to go with Burgundy on my KR, but changed my mind when I saw the bronze. I get compliments on the bronze a few times per week.
