Black or Cocoa interior? That is the question....

[dobdabomb]

This is my first post, I am trying to find my exact combination but its been near impossible in my 400 mile radius. I was set on the ALL Terrain 6.2L in the Irridium but I favor the cocoa color I think now. I am really worried about the black being too hot in the dead summer here in North Alabama. I have never owned a black leather and this dark of a truck before. I feel like the cocoa will force my hand in going with the denali as I just cant do the base SLT and that much chrome all over, need body colored parts...and I dont mind the front grill.

 

Am I freaking out too much about the black interior? If so please relieve my worries...lol. Thanks guys.

Yes, go with black, I doubt you would ever find that combo built anyway.

I searched for silver with cocoa interior and didnt find one. It's going to be tough.

My wife has a black Cadillac CTS with black leather seats - looks great but HOT as all hell in summer. Our Denali on order is White Diamond with cocoa interior. I'm sure it can get just as hot in Alabama as it does here in Texas come summer time. In the end, it's all on what you feel is best for you.

I got the heating/cooling seat option, I chose black because I have kids, and use my truck for work so black hides stains in carpet better. Depends on your lifestyle and use of the vehicle.

Tinted windows helps as Im sure you probally allready kno

I went with the cocoa and silver. I ordered mine. Only way to get everything the way I wanted.

I personally would switch exterior colors before I caved on interior. I'm not a fan of black interior. It shows everything and it doesn'tmix well with Texas heat

Cocoa interior! I went black exterior with cocoa interior

I wouldn't have a black interior. It doesn't wear as we'll and is to hot in the summer.

Plus it is the most common, it cheapens it.

Cocoa Dune for the win.

I did the Jet Black/Dark Ash perforated with White Diamond Tricoat.

I have about 77,000 miles on my 2007 with light gray interior and it doesn't have a single stain.

Black wears the same as the other colors. These new seats are a soft leather, go with the black and tint the windows. Between tint and remote start you will be fine as far as heat.

I had a black on black truck before my current white with tan interior truck and I don't think id go back to a dark interior.. Nothing worse then getting into a black truck that's been sitting in the sun all day in 90 degree heat!

 

Only downfall of tan is that it does show stains way easier then black and gets visibly dirtier too.

I've had tan and black interiors. Black shows more dirt initially but cleans easier and stays nicer throughout its life. I say that having lived with a black interior on my last truck with two hunting dogs. But anyone knows black is always going to be hotter.

 

The silver and gray metallic are hot due to the amount of black in the paint. Check a surface temperature chart if that's a big concern. It surprises most people how hot silver gets compared to white.

 

But in the end you have to be happy with your choice. I wanted a white VMax for my last truck. I settled on a red truck with my option list because I could buy it cheaper by a bunch since the newer year model was already out. I hated that truck for 5 years.

 

Buy what YOU want, not what someone wants to sell you.
