What a killer site!!!
my lap top has been glued to me for days... (my wife thinks i am weird(er) now that i am looking at all these trucks. I am searching for an 06 LE OR/BT and need help with the interior. there are graphite and steel. can someone post pics or send a link so i can check out these colors. This would be very helpful, as i am doing most of my searching on the web and all they know is grey...
thanks

This is steel:

This is graphite:

As you can see, the steel is a light gray and the graphite is a dark gray. Hope this helps.

great thanks. that sums it up! are they both two tone? thanks

The upper pic is a cloth interior. The lower is leather. And yes, if you get the graphite, you will get the lighter "steel" colored plastic parts.

There is also the two tone interior with the steel and tan... There are some pics around of those too somewhere.....

The Graphite/Titanium interior was a very big deal to me, I did not like the Steel at all as it was just too light in color. I waited a long time to get my Graphite/Titanium SE and I could not be happier.

Exactly, I hated the lack of contrast with the Steel interior, the Graphite just seems darker and richer to me.

Agreed... Shows dirt less as well...

Yup! A big part of my concern was how light the Steel was, and that 2-tone steel/tan just looked like a problem in waiting to me...

dude... great replies. info is extremely helpful. now I need to find my truck. been looking for about 3 weeks and can't find one in my area. graphite and titanium it is!

I noticed a difference on the charcoal interior of my 2005 and 2007. The 2007 model has the console, door trim, and door panels charcoal rather than the light steel color as on the 05. Also, the center dash trim is darker (not as silver looking.)

This site was super valuable to me prior to my purchase, so I know what you mean. I had so many questions and I was, and still am after 2-years of ownership with the support I get here.

Here is one more pic for ya, it does not show graphite very well, but it will tease you for the day in which you get to take the same pic of your Titan, a virgin vehicle at the dealer, with your name on it!

Honestly I think it looks like crap.

I was never one for the lighter tones for interriors.

But to each his own.

My interrior is black on black.

Max240 · 11-10-2007, 05:57 PM

go for the graphite in my opinion.

Miked1 · 11-13-2007, 12:58 PM

I'd go for the graphite myself.

That's what I wanted, but in the end settled for the steel to get the exterior color that was my 1st choice.
The steel looks to blah for my taste & the carpet really shows the dirt fast.
I did end up buying a set of graphite mats (they punch it up a bit) and will likely get a dash rug to add some contrast as well.
