FWIW, there is a page in the 2013 Ford Super Duty brochure showing swatches of interior and exterior colors. The footnotes for Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat state:

1. Additional charge
2. New for 2013
3. Late availability

I just noticed that the window sticker on my new F250 shows a charge of $395 for "Ruby Red Metallic."

What about the True Blue that they used to have? I've seen it on 6.7's in person but it's not on the website

True Blue is no longer available. I would say it is about the same as Blue Jeans and I think Blue Jeans has a little more metallic look to it.

Honestly, I'm not sure I would accept the truck. I know it happens more than we know, but a repainted bumper doesn't seem like it will hold up

Did your dealer notice it before they called you to come pick up the truck?

They didn't call,I just stopped by and saw the truck there, but they told me right away about the damage.Their yard guy noticed it parked right up to another truck so you couldn't see the front.He pulled it back with the carrier driver there and said WTF,he says the guy was trying to hide it and book out of there.All I know is I don't want damaged goods and don't want to

wait 70 days again.

Hi majkthreads,

Send a PM my way with your order number and dealership name/location; I'll look into the status of your truck and give you weekly updates.

Crystal

Thanks Crystal. I'll do that as soon as the dealer guy is in Tuesday. He said friday it's now 9-14-9-20. Go figure.

Yeah I should have my VIN tuesday. The dealer thinks it may be coming in by 18 wheeler since they order a few 14's at once but he'll know this week. Last one they ordered was 5 weeks. One before that was five weeks but when they pulled it off the truck they found out an oak tree limb went thru the roof thru the passenger seat and thru the back seat. Needless to say Ford got a new one there very quickly.

My truck in my sig is blue jeans metallic. I love it. I didn't want red when I was in NE as everyone has a red vehicle there. Didn't like black as my dad had one and it gets smoking hot in the sun. Also didn't want white either. So I was able to get the new '14 in the same color as my 250. Blue Jeans Metallic I don't think is as popular as many of the other colors. But for me I love it. Sometimes it looks lighter and other times in the sun it looks nice and dark. Especially at night it looks just short of black.
