Without any doubt, gray ones plow the best, and make the most profit. Possibly because they are no certain chroma.

Did not see gray on the voting list.

white doesnt reflect as much heat therefore leaving more snow on the ground to plow

Black plows the best, but looks the worst. Gino Vanelli almost had his song right ....

I used to think green was the best, but it is much like black (dark green). Now I would vote gray - and they disguise the salt well.

Looks like it's Oomkes green from now on since there no longer is a Heyink green.

Brown

Brown trucks are naturally the ugly ducklings of the group and therefore have something to prove. That, and the drivers of the brown trucks are always in such a jovile mood when they have to drive a truck with a nickname such as: "The Turd".

My vote is green, but I think my shade of green is a bit different than Mark's. It' been called the big booger at least once.

It seems as though you can't by a car in green anymore...

An therin lies the root of the problem. I know - I should know better.

But along with the triat (the only part of traitor that is true) I inherited that persues economically advantageous decisions, I also inherited the trait that makes it extremely difficult to persuade the decision making process.

Besides - isn't green the colour of money?



Wooden wallet - wooden open.

Wooden head - wooden listen.



Maybe I should look into wood grain....

Yep, that was the idea with the color. I gotta admit I was a little nervous when I went to pick it up from being painted. I have had a lot of positive comments from cutomers and have had multiple people come up to me at gas stations asking questions which has led to work. Definitely no blending in with the crowd.

I kinda life the multicolor myself. Different color hood fenders doors bed etc.

It gives that personal and profesional look usually followed by parts falling off the truck and through the truck because of holes in the body.
