Favorite New Color?
#16
Black is the best color for the first five minutes after you wash and wax it.
Nothing beats it. Absolutely beautiful.
But after that first five minutes, it starts looking dingy.
White is hard to beat. It's easy for the other drivers to see, especially at dusk/dark and dawn. Looks good when you spit-shine it and doesn't look like a homeless person lives in it after it gets a little dirty.
The Grays are hard to see on the road. The Lithium doesn't show the ugly streaks down the side like other colors do.
But if all I had to do was to keep my truck pretty? Black. No doubt about it.

Been there done that on three cars in my past and never again will I have another black vehicle.
Tuxedo Black is a much classier and better looking shade of black than Shadow Black and I really don`t understand why Ford dropped it.

While I do like some of the other colors better, I keep going back to some form of white. I told myself Ruby Red this time, and they didn't have any on the lot...Must have been a sign.
My last 3 SCREWS were oxford/Platinum/ and Platinum. I have had Blacks, Greys, Browns,and blues, but 4 things bring me back to white:
I cannot park in the garage at home. It sits outside.
I have parked in an employee garage every day at work for 30 years, and door dings are inevitable.
I do not like washing weekly any more. In my old age, If I wash
bi-weekly or monthly, I am doing good LOL
When I trade in my white trucks, they almost always look brand new and I get top dollar on trade in, even when 7-10 years old.
