The red with brunello looks good. Go check it out on an existing F150 - that's the combo I'm getting. Several of the Internet photos and videos of the brunello look almost purpleish - it is simply a nice brown in real life. The picture above is a great example of this - it just doesn't look like this in person. It's worth a trip to your Ford dealer to see it on a F150 platinum.
My wife and I liked the king ranch in the pictures and didn't like the brunello. Looking at them in real-life, we found the opposite to be true. I'm looking forward to my ruby red platinum with brunello.

Ok I just left the dealership and looked at a 150 ruby red with brunello
It doesn't clash at all, I actually think it looks sharp
The brunello is a darker color with a tint of brown and I think they go good together
I think a black truck would make the brunello "pop" more
But the ruby red and brunello look very sharp together as well
I don't have to change my order afterall lol

I went with the 350 for the increased payload, but I am in sales and need to be able to park easier in garages and things so that's why I went with the short bed.
Its so rare to find a short bed f350 anyways so I figured I might as well order one. I don't know why its so rare though, a lot of people that haul 5th wheels with a 2016 or older f250 almost all the time are over their payload ratings and I didn't want to be that guy --> most 2016 platinum f250's I looked at had payloads of 1900 pounds...there are very few fifth wheels that will have a pin weight of less than 2,000 pounds and you aren't even talking about adding people or geer..

sounds like we are getting the same exact truck. I looked at your signature and it looks like your getting the short bed as well.

Same situation, she'll pull horses, and serve as my daily driver. I'm with you on the SB 350's, great platform. Big fan.

I don't think it will clash, but the best bet is to see one in person and go from there. Even in photos it is hard to tell.
I am not usually a red vehicle person, but I do think the Ruby Red is sharp looking. Regardless of the interior, you are going to stand out. Especially to the highway patrol.

I have had two ruby red metallics in a row and i don't care for the brunello purplish/ wine colored upholstery so I shook it up and went with a KR in caribou monotone/chrome. The KR leather isn't the same color as my 13 KR but still looks nice to me. To each his own

The hardest part of this has been the color. I pressed "F4" at the dealer Monday on the Ruby Red...final answer...lock it in Regis. LOL
