Here are the photos

 

Looks different from the 16 colors. Maybe they pumped out a few 16s to test the color change???

Thanks Ryan!! The pix don't show it, but there is a lot of "sparkles" in the paint. I've owned this truck for almost 6 weeks now; and I know that it was on the lot for at least 2 weeks prior to me buying it. These pix were just after "de-badging" also!!

Kinda like my Ashen gray camaro. In the sun it pops with gold and blue flakes. In the shade it's a dull/blackish color

That would be very cool if you got a test bed kind of truck as far as the paint goes. Does look darker. Now i want to know who got a 2016 pepperdust!

Must be the shade but if that is the color it seems way darker than I thought it would be.

 

 

 

Looks dark "silverish" in the sun..................and "blackish" in the shade.

 

Can I type "BLACKISH" and not be moderated???? :dunno::fart:

Great color, I've had this exact or a very similar color on 2 previous vehicles I've owned. The only thing I would have to say that could be considered slightly negative is that the color blends perfectly with certain colors of asphalt which at times (obviously depending on other conditions) might cause other motorist to not see or pick up sight of this color as quickly. Just like riding a motorcycle, automatically assume they don't see you anyway.

Is it just me or the picture? Looks blueish and kinda flat. Is it metallic or not?

    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

    • And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
