It's not really an absurd price....in fact compared to the special "metallic" colors it's a real bargain. I think mine was $5,500.00 when the special colors are something like $3,500.00. I don't know about you but being able to differentiate my car from everyone else's and see "my" color every day when I drive it is worth 2K!
Stop it, stop it!!! May I please have my brain back? (When are you getting your black rims?)

--with the Natural Brown interior in the cab....maybe it's too many colors?????
--then I also worry about the bling of it....not saying that they're in and of themselves blingy but maybe they have the potential to be?? I'm 64 years old and maybe they're for a few generarions younger....I don't know....just very confusing!
