Everyone has their own opinion, hope you enjoy your truck.
The only interior available on an XLT with Bronze Fire is adobe. Every f250 on a lot within 50 miles of home that was bronze fire was a lariat with leather. I never saw a truck with adobe cloth interior. I love the exterior colour so I'll have to live with the interior. First purchase will be seat covers.

Interesting, I never ordered a truck before so I assumed you could just get what combination you wanted. You bring up an interesting point, the Adobe we looked at was leather on a lariat. I hope for we liked the clothe as much as the leather we looked at. Should know in about 8 weeks. Thanks I learned something new about ordering.

I had the same issue, never saw a cloth Adobe interior in person but that was only color interior available with the Bronze Fire paint color. I didn't want leather, ordered an XLT which is also very hard to find on a lot.

All in all I actually like the interior color, but I do have some protection on the seat bottoms. It is a nice change from the shades of grey I have had on the last two decades of vehicles.

I picked up the truck today. The bronze fire looks awesome! On second look I kind of like the look of the interior. It makes the truck brighter. I scotch guarded the crap out of it! Light interiors and me usually don't mix!

Good looking truck. Hate that you had such a hard time getting it, but it will be worth it now that you have it.

I'm not familiar with the bronze fire color. To me in the picture it just looks like a sort of reddish maroon. Maybe it's just my monitor? Or is that what it's supposed to be? I bet there's probably a metallic play in the color in the sunlight, too, though, yes?

Nice looking truck! I see you have to tonneau cover installed already. If I worked at Ford, I would probably be the person who would decide Adobe goes with Bronze Fire. I think they look great together.

Depending on the angle and the sun it looks either maroon, burgundy or orange! The sun on the metallic really brings out the colour.
I'll see if I can get a pic with the orange in it.

A few more pics. Starting to get some dirt on it and I'm starting to like the interior!
