And I thought I was bad lol
Yea, I don't think a White truck is nearly as bad :) My stepdad has one in Iconic Silver and it stays filthy! I thought about the Carbonized Grey, but that's not any better than Black or Silver honestly....

I think you are out to lunch. Silver stays the cleanest.

You are correct sir, my silver F150 was probably the easiest truck I had to keep clean. White runs a close second but it shows a lot of road grime on the lower rockers where the silver hides it.

I did love my black trucks but you're a slave to them trying to keep them clean. But nothing shines or looks nicer than a freshly detailed black vehicle.

I'm just going by how his Silver Ranger looked when he bought it and how it looks after a week or 2 after raining and drying out... You can really see the crap along the sides of it... I'm never owned a Silver vehicle, as it's one of my least favorite colors, with Red being the first!

Black is by far, the worst color for dirtiness, but the sharpest when clean!

My Grabber Blue Ranger didn't show dirt bad at all! I wish there were a lighter, non-metallic Blue available for the Ranger....

If I'd known Method Racing was coming out with the same wheel I bought, but in a Titanium color, I would've gotten my truck in Carbonized Grey, since Grey vehicles look futuristic to me :)

Not my colour. The one behind however...
White's not my color, LOL! I do like Blue, but not the choice on the Bugatti... I'm not a fan of White Ferrari's either or Red, haha! I like Black and Blue and Green :) We're all different though

I relocated my DRL on/off switch into the panel under the steering wheel, last night. The instructions that came with the "angel eye" switch were garbage and it took me forever to get it working properly, but when the LED is off, the DRL's are off and when the LED is on, the DRL's are on, since my headlights housing are completely aftermarket. It works as it's intended too, with the key in the on position.

I finally ordered a DeeZee Bed Mat tonight and also a different rear hook thingy. Maybe it'll all be here within the next few weeks?

Not much to add in this post, but I used all 42,000 Ford Pass points to order this:

Also, got the DeeZee bed mat in a week ago.

Other than these things, not much left to do, regardless of what people on here think....

I definitely did not want a black truck but I had no choice since my truck was literally the last Ranger on the lot. It had everything else I wanted so I bought it. It’s a PIA to keep clean, especially here in Vegas with all the dust. White or Silver was my go to usually for trucks.

I ordered mine Black, because 1, I wanted to clone the SEMA truck which was Black.... and 2, I wanted a different color than the other ones around here. Most I see locally are Silver, Gray, White and Burgundy... I despise Bright Red, so that wasn't an option. Didn't care for the Saber colored Rangers and for the last 10 years, I've owned 3 Blue vehicles and didn't want this Ranger to be Blue, LOL! That's all the colors I believe?

It's dusty here too, but the ceramic coating I put on it actually helps quite a bit! I usually stay on top of cleaning it, but I've been so busy with our puppies the last few days, I've been slacking on the cleaning part, LOL! You just have to stay on top of it, over anything else! I was detail spraying it 2-3 times a week, which I need to get back to doing!
