And in response to WagRam, the 2006 and newer vehicles have that new Black Pearlescent paint. Awesome! (in reply to CatchMyDrift05) Post #: 61

Pull up to a long stop light in the sun and my AC couldn't keep up except when moving. They look good when clean... but when the trees are pollenating your truck has a yellow-green dust every morning. (in reply to sandiegohemi) Post #: 62

With the AC nto keeping up, I would rather think it's the humidity in conjunction with the temp, and not just the temp. In  Las Vegas it keeps up fine during the hot months, from what I hear.  Pollen? Just another excuse to wash it... :-) _____________________________ Infinite Diversities in Infinite Combinations Assimilation Imminent. Resistance is Futile "Very funny Scotty.

The best choice I made (besides buying a Dodge). Always looks clean, can't see any scratches - you know the really fine scratches you get when washing or drying it over time? I'll second that.  I looked at a few blk rams on the lots and they looked great, then I looked at some in the real world and you see every scratch plus dirt. seems you really have to stay on top of them to keep clean.

RE: Black looked so good at the time of purchase - woul... - 12/12/2007 6:50:15 PM    jase71   Posts: 5 Joined: 9/27/2007 Status: offline I bought a black Ford Ranger FX4 back in '03.  Loved the little truck, and it looked great in black.  But it was impossible to keep looking sharp.  I swore I'd never buy another black vehicle. So, in '05, I traded the Ranger in on a Saab 9-2X.  In black.  They had killer deals, and the only Aero (turbocharged) model left was in black.  Great car.  But I swore I'd never buy another black vehicle again. So a few months ago, I bought an '07 QC Laramie.  In black.  It was the only Laramie left on the lot, and I really wanted the heated seats (I live in International Falls, MN).  Not to mention it had exactly the options I wanted.  And it's impossible to keep clean in the snow and slush. Ya know what?  I'll never buy another black vehicle again.  (in reply to dave05ram) Post #: 75
