Color for special order?
Trying to find a Lariat with 18" wheels that could seat 6 with just the options I wanted proved too hard to find so I'm jumping in at literally the last couple days to order a '17.
My color choices are magnetic gray, caribou, or white gold. I'm buying this vehicle to get into the RV life with a fifth wheel. Our window of time may be 5-6 years, maybe more, but if not, what color would be easier to resale? ( My only issue with Magnetic gray it seems to default to black and in Florida, that gets very hot!)

For re-sale white always seems to be easiest but if that isn't on the table I would think Magnetic. That said its and expensive truck and you are the one driving it, I would buy what you like and what makes sense for you.

Some people may think that this is not a factor but have you considered what color truck matches and compliments the color of your 5th wheel?
My vote is for Caribou just because it is absolutely beautiful and you don't see many trucks in that color.

Since I own a White Gold truck I will say that is the color to buy! I have to say that this color seems to hide dirt way better than any color that I have owned, including white. That may turn out to be a bad in the long run!
Some of the reason we picked this color was that a lot of the newer 5ers seem to have an outside color that would go well with the White Gold. Like the other poster said...buy what suits you and your ideas.

Wish my White Gold was just a bit darker like the old Arizona Beige I had on my '04...other then that I'm glad I got it because its so easy to keep clean. All the colors look good on these trucks and like said a lot of RV's have brown or gold in their color schemes so they kind of match.

Based on the lighter interior and your comments..... you should focus on caribou and white gold.
I would say toss up on resale with either color.
Mullinax in Mobile and Florida did have a few caribou Lariats in stock a month or so ago. Also a couple of dealers in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa area.
I may be difficult find a 6 seater. I like the option but most dealers/public prefer the console 5 seaters. It will be difficult locating a Lariat 6 seater....... especially with caribou or white gold with camel inside. Best hope might be to find a dealer you can work with and get them to locate on their system.
