Originally, we wanted the Birch because the Cherry is too dark for us (we live in in an ever overcast area). The Smoke theme is also too dark for us, so Pecan is really is the only remaining choice. I did notice that the color changed based on camera angle and light, so I am not sure how accurate these pictures are verses the naked eye. The color swatches we have did not reproduce nearly as accurately as I would like when I posted them earlier in the thread, so I think real life will be more eye pleasing than through a phone camera.

The dark colors always look richer and deeper even if it is the same item and construction. We just wanted a more airy and lighter interior than what we had in our Arctic Fox (which was Cherry). My preference is Scandinavian Teak and light colored rough twill fabric, but my pocketbook disagrees.

I've never been much of a sparkle and farkle guy - I just didn't choose a white truck. My 5500 is a basic Tradesman with Alcoa wheels and Ram step bar. I did add in-channel window vents to allow the windows to be left cracked open in the wind and rain...

That is on the Pacific coast at Ocean Shores, WA. The Class 4 and 5 trucks come with 19.5" wheels standard. Typically they are 225/70R19.5 tires with about 15,000 lbs of capacity on the rear and 7900 lbs on the front.

Are the rear inners steel?

Same color as my '15, Western Brown they called it then.
Wish had those wheels but I'll bet they wouldn't fit on my dually.
