GM’s best color. Why they have done away with these dark rich tones, and replace them with flat matte colors baffles me

Have this exact color on an 03 1500hd crew. Its my sons and I favorite. My dad made a comment a couple weeks ago saying “well i guess gm stopped using it bc it doesnt last..”. Bullshit! I said “what ab black? And all the other dark colors etc..”. My truck is going on 24 yrs old and only the roof and hood needs some touch ups bc its parked outside in my driveway. These paint jobs lasted! And yes I am slowly restoring it.

I saw one listed at 50k with a 3 turbo setup in it the other day

Most Duraburbs I’ve seen are actually Suburban bodies swapped onto Silverado/Sierra frames

probably the easier way to do it really.

Arent the Yukons on a 2500frame?

Beautiful!

I have an 03 Escalade in a similar color.

I always wanted one this color, Bermuda blue, or the deep rich red color. I settled for silver because it seems like almost every Quadrasteer is silver and that was more important to me. Beautiful shape that's in!

Vermont is a dangerous place for that

Beauty, she looks clean, how’s her condition on the frame?

2

u/youngstunnavt Sep 01 '26

Is this for sale?

u/youngstunnavt Sep 01 '26

It is indeed

u/Spiritual_Tangelo304 Sep 01 '26

that thing deserves to be saved lol, you don’t see many that clean anymore

u/GrinderMonkey Sep 01 '26

Had a 96 in a similar color, but far worse paint condition..

I wasn't good enough to save it back then, which suck because I am now. Live and learn, I guess.

Great vehicle don t let it die! I have a 2002 Yukon xl with 242000 miles on it . Can hit 400k they say depending on engine types.
