I agree with the rest of the responses. It is way easier to find another white truck to match the rest of your fleet than any other color. Once you have more than one you're thinking may change!

I didn't have a choice with my f-550! I found it and it happened to be white.

I agree with TripleL.... basic road grime and that dirty "film" doe snow up on it very well. If you washed half of it, maybe you'd notice.

get your blue truck. after the first rain storm your gonna be pissed because of how much road crud is on it. white is way easier to keep looking good, black being the hardest

White also dosnt show the scratchs and dings and dents as much as other colors.

White doesn't show imperfections like a dark color. It also can be dirty as heck from road grime, dust, etc. but from a few feet away still look clean. People always comment on how clean my truck is when in my mind its ready for a wash.

My white truck does kinda get dirty but it gets washed every two weeks if not sooner so its no big deal. If I would have picked a color, it would have either been Dark green as a #1 choice or white as # 2 choice.

There's a father and son team taht i'm friend with around here. The old man has been in the biz for 30 years and has an 05 F250 4x4 powerstroke regular cab that is black, and it may be hard to keep clean but the one time it is clean it looks better than any of my white trucks. his boy has an 08 F250 that is navy blue, don't look as good as his dads, but looks good, when it is clean. i haven't washed my mow truck, the 96, in at least a month, and i live/work from a gravel road. It still looks really clean from 10 feet away on out. As every one else has said, easy to find, easy to keep looking decent, easy to sell. I had a red 99 F350 that I traded on a white 01 F250, the 01 is soooo much easier to keep looking clean, sure they'll show mud easier, but that is usally just from the trim line on the bottom of the door down, so not too obvious any way.
