Damn straight! Growing up my Dad only ever owned silver trucks so I swore I'd never buy one. I keep reconsidering that though. I love how they look great all the time! Mine looks nice for 2 days after I wash it till the condensation runs off of it a morning or two later hahah.
Most guys where I live at least are not educated enough to know that a few simple upgrades and our trucks can be made bulletproof. My tie rods are 1 1/8" thick. Even when I tell people about that they still insist my tie rods are going to snap if I try pulling anything in 4x4. My builder has a 900+ hp pulling duramax that uses nothing but $70 tie rod sleeves in the front end.

Yup I swore I'd never have another black truck before I got my last F250. I reconfermed that after owning another one. They look great but they are a chore to keep right.
The pics I took today when it was dirty you can't even tell it

Pewter stays clean too... My truck never looks dirty... I only know it needs to be washed when the rims get dirty.

I think it rides nice, better than my excursion ever rode anyways. Excursion similar wheelbase to regular cab long bed. My 02 ccsb rides decent, the longer wheelbase on my 06 cclb just seems a bit smoother to me, but there is also different front suspensions between the two so that may make a difference.
