Gray goes better with the SS exterior and does not get as hot as black in summer. That white on the dash in bright sunny days may reflect too much light into driver's eyes.

There is a gray interior option ...

... and yes, it does look far better than white ?
All well and good on the interior.
However, l still can't get over the startled 'goat in the headlights' look of the otherwise Kool Sqweel......l can't unsee it, esp from this angle in the interior pic

Those things hold a fart like nobody's business.
We refer to those as “random overpressure events”.

There is a checklist for almost all aircraft for clearing smoke from the cockpit/cabin. It involves raising the cabin altitude slightly, which opens the valves a little more and creates more airflow out of the aircraft. It also vents “unwanted odors” out of the airplane very quickly. VERY handy to have. (Especially since rolling the windows down is frowned upon)

And yes, almost every jet I have flown has had sheepskins in the cockpit.

Us guys in back just had orange nylon on ours :) (USN P-3 Orions) We called it "Smoke and Fume Elimination". When low which us sub hunters spent a lot of time at, we just popped open the "free fall chute".

I dont live in a world where white interiors for a truck aligns with any use of a truck, but i guess i have something to learn still.

Why would you care if the interior was white or not if you're using a truck for work?

-Crissa
Is that sarcasm? Many days when I am working with my truck I am incredibly dirty when I get in my truck as the job site blue lagoon didn't accommodate my showering needs and I didn't bring personal wipes with me. One push on that white door panel with my elbow and it would be stained for life. A couple weeks ago i was demoing a patio and was covered in roofing paper tar stuff. I would have had to strip down and ask the home owner for dawn to get it off. If the interior of my truck were white I would not have driven it home. My kids literally took a picture of me when i got home because they couldnt believe how covered in crap I was. I guess if my work consisted of walking around a jobsite with a clipboard then white interiors would be fine. And many days i do that, but i need the truck to be as adaptable as i am.

Will most likely have to step up to a Tri Motor to get this interior.
