Thanks for all your input guys. I've had black, white and silver trucks... and I loved em' all. I have red now... But I gotta say that I'm leaning toward deep molten red pearl. Something about it is very cool. If not that then hi-ho silver.... again.

Isn't it funny with all the problems in this world here we are discussing what color a guy should buy his $40,000 truck with? Makes me sure appreciate this great country.

Mine is black, and while it looks awesome when clean, it's an absolute nightmare to maintain that factory fresh look. I washed it back to back with my red '99 sport and the black one took at least twice as long, just because you can see every defect, water spot, scatch, etc. Also, both trucks have been outside since the cleaning a week ago, and the red one still looks really clean, but the black one looks terrible. I wash it every week whereas I could get away with skipping months with my red one.
IMO, if I had to do it over again, I'd get white, silver, or beige.
FYI, we have an '05 Caravan in that Deep Molten Red Pearl. I love that color. It looks great and we get a lot of compliments on it... although keep in mind that if you ever have to have any touch-up work done, they might struggle to get it exactly right. I speak from experience since we just had a scratch/ding repaired from a we-owe and while it looks perfect from most angles, when the sun is directly on it, you can see that the patched area is slighly more metallic.

I had it narrowed down to either white or silver until i took my wife truck shopping with me, she was sitting on the fence as to whether or not we were even going to get a new truck, until she saw a flame red sport pkg QC, when she blurted out that if we were going to get a truck it had to be that color, I did my duty as a husband and obeyed her directive. No regrets.
