I bought black for the first time on this truck, and it is the last time I ever buy black again. The truck looks great after you wash it for an hour or so, or at night. But then dust hits it and it shows everything. My truck is even garaged every night, and every morning I have to dust it with the car duster. Water spots, desert pin stripping, left over wax, all are amplified by 10 with a black truck. I had a 2001 Taco d-cab that was silver, and that thing always looked good...so long story short buy the slate.
