And it's cooler on those 100+ days.
Both my truck and van are OW.
It does. But when it's 110+ I don't think it really matters what color it is they're all hot! lol ?

That's what I've always said. Once the temp is set to BROIL, color makes no difference.

When I bought mine I wasn't particularly looking for white, the one equipped the way I wanted just happened to be white.

As long as it wasn't black I was fine with any color.

I guess my wife rubbed off on me there.

She couldn't give 2 hoots what color a vehicle is.

Here in GA the white does seem notably cooler, but then we're not near the surface of the sun like AZ ?

Do you think the better experience with the shocks could be the Tremor leaf springs?

I’m just bummed there isn’t a group like this for my Silverado. Simply can’t find it if it exists.

But you can probably get some great recommendations for plaid shirts ?

It seems every time I go on a trail ride with GMs, every GM driver has a plaid shirt ?

Edit: My wife is the one who pointed it out since my fashion sense is somewhere between 0 and a negative 5.

"Why are they all wearing plaid? Is it a club?"

I'm sure it's a combo of both. The fronts even feel a lot better too and I still need to get it off road on some good trails to really see.

There are no mechanical advantages to a single parabolic leaf spring with the possible exception of weight. And I am not sure that is an advantage.

Multi leaf springs got figured out 100 years ago. This isn't rocket science. Ford felt the need to cut corners. Simple as that. Notice the Aussie Rangers have leaf springs. They didn't skimp... at least in that area.
