What color?

Talking to the dealer tomorrow...looking like the plunge is inevitable. Darn you Ford and your "come on out to the drive event, we'll have a few laughs"...gonna cost me.

So, I'm locked on everything but the color...like the Ruby Red, a lot...but the Magnetic is very tempting as well.

What's everyone else thinking?

The red is my number 2. Problem for me is, I've driven a black vehicle exclusively since 1992. My wife's expedition is the dark red/burgundy color though and it's sharp.

Red with the dark brown interior. Whatever they call it.

Nice. I've never owned a black vehicle, even after thinking I should. I think I'm with you...Red and brunello. The F-150 before my current truck was Red Candy Metallic...liked that a lot.

I'm going ruby red / brunello. I think the ruby red and black look best when perfectly clean and the ruby red looks best when somewhat dirty. My truck is rarely perfectly clean.

1st choice was a Blue Jean Platinum
2nd choice was platinum white
3rd is Ruby Red but really liking it lately.

Wish I could change color and add diesel, but got a vin and my truck sold really quickly.

What color would you change it to if you had a choice?

I'm brand new to the forum and this is my first post! I just ordered my 6.7L F250 Platinum last Friday. I have had mostly silver cars and suv's over the years, and I wanted a bit of a change. But not being quite ready for black, I went with the Metallic & Brunello. Can't wait!

Plum Purple would be nice, or pick the color you like

Welcome to the forum. The metallic is a pretty nice color and you will love how it picks up the surrounding colors. The F150 has it this year so it is easy to see what it will look like. Chivy has a very similar met gray and there are about a gazillion of them in my area. Had to go different without green available. White Gold w/caribou should look ok and match/compliment the camper too. A little cutsie because my wife's new MKC is light gold with a black band around the bottom. Like going back to HS and wearing steady shirts I guess.

Welcome flycastr! Congratulations on your order!! You've made a terrific choice in a new truck. You'll find volumes and centuries worth of knowledge (no old jokes) within this site. Don't forget to check out the 6.7L Diesel page as well (assuming you went diesel?). Keep us posted on progress, and reps sent! Also, great color choice!

Probably Ruby Red instead of Platinum White, if I could choose any color in Fords lineup, Blue Jeans would be my first choice.

Was going to do KR with BJ but didn't want 2 tone and not a fan of the KR interior. Next option was a single color KR but not a fan of all the chrome. Guess I am picky!
