Re: Pic of Mineral Gray EB with Arizona Beige Bodyside Cladding and Lip Molding
I've been looking at '04s too and have not found one of these yet...
Pueblo Gold LTD is starting to grow on me....
Black is first choice but after waxing the Oxford White 2000 a couple of times, it's out of the question!!!!!!

My 02 F350 is black and I live in a rural area on a dirt road. I have to wash it constantly to keep it looking half way decent. Love the look when it is clean but man what a job to keep it that way.
I have looked high and low for a Mineral Grey EB and have not found one yet. A poster in another thread said he did not like it and it looked like someone that was color blind picked the colors.
Re: Pic of Mineral Grey EB with Arizona Beige Bodyside Cladding and Lip Molding
I ALMOST got the mineral grey monochrome Ex limited...
Really liked it, but when I saw my first black monomchrome Ex in March - had to have it...
And the grey is the best color to get, if washing is an issue for you, in that it doesn't SHOW the dirt as much... looses it's shine because of the dirt, but still looks good until next wash...
However, I chose the black Ex monochrome...
Well, the wife influenced me on that one...
Every one of the cars she's had since I've know her has been black...
And it IS the sharpest looking color in this size behemoth IMHO... Rain is not TOO much of an issue here in the DFW area, I would guess we get about 13 inches a year I think, but 12.99 of it is in one month it seems...
All I do is run down to the local car wash about once a week for their $5 brushless exterior wash and the Ex is the black beauty again !
Hey, but that's why they make all diffeent colors and why there is so much aftermarket 'stuff' - so we each can have a unique ride !

Re: Pic of Mineral Grey EB with Arizona Beige Bodyside Cladding and Lip Molding
Here is the hot southwest (Texas) black is the wrong color to get. We don't get much rain & dust is everywhere which ruins a wash job on a black vehicle in seconds on the road. Black also absorbs heat while a light color reflects heat. Black also tends to fade much faster than any other color.
I have better things to do than wash a truck after every use...

Re: Pic of Mineral Grey EB with Arizona Beige Bodyside Cladding and Lip Molding
Now see, you're looking at it wrong...
I don't wash my black Ex after every use...
I just drive thru the Express side of the local car wash when needed thereby enhancing the economy and giving someone a job!
Granted - a low paying one -
it's only $5 for the same exterior wash that the $25 wash is...
but it's worth it to me and I LIKE Black !
isn't America great !?! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]

Re: Pic of Mineral Grey EB with Arizona Beige Bodyside Cladding and Lip Molding
I second that thought. Right now my rig is filthy and you can't tell it without really trying.
I think a more accurate name for that color would have been Chocolate Milk Brown....
