sounds like my last truck (2012, 4", 35's) mine was a street queen cause I'm lazy and don't like washing my own truck

Exactly. And if I wanted a truck to go thru the woods, move mountains, play in the mud, or whatever "real" trucks do, I damn sure wouldn't have gotten black.

them gates will hold a **** ton of weight. I don't hesitate to run my Scrambler up onto it. Easily 700 lbs loaded with me on it. The weight, the gate and cables have held amazes me. Not just this 2014 but old trucks too. I don't understand the physics behind it.

Yea I got a black one too. I wash it every time I pass a car wash, lol!

Best looking color there is when it's clean, shame it doesn't stay clean more than 4 blocks.

It still looks great slightly dirty though.

Man when it's clean there isn't a better looking color, and the tuxedo black is one of the best shades of black I've seen. But it's easier to get my wife to put out than keep that thing clean. But I enjoy washing my truck, so I don't mind.

My kids are gonna grow up to be smart but my darn truck is gonna rust away out there in the big scary driveway! It's even out there at night, oh the humanity.

To be fair I should have disclosed we live in a hub city of a super rural area, 100 miles from the closest Target/Best Buy/Kohls, there is only one school district and everyones house is worth a ton because of oil.

My last truck was my profile pic, my current truck is tuxedo black, I find it too sparkly lol
