They've been switching over to the Silverado and Tahoe for the Lic&Wt units for a while now as they faze out the F-150s, but they're all marked (black/white). Travis County Sheriffs are using the Silverado with a clear low profile light bar that is hard to notice as different from a civilian truck.
A classic Texas scene I saw just the other day was a TCS Silverado having pulled over a hot Lotus on the freeway downtown, with the urban skyline, it would have made a nice pic as he was discussing things with the driver...down at about his knee level.
Don't think I've ever seen an unmarked P/U though. Stop in the middle lane of the Interstate (NAFTA hwy) on a Saturday morning and start waving a gun around making threats and boy, Plenty of black unmarked SUVs coming out of nowhere all limo tinted up. (Nice little 2 hour stand-off and stopped traffic picnic to waste a morning recently)
Of course these were different from the ones that show up in town when the Prez is a visiting. Man, how DO they
(SS) keep those things so clean?
