Arrow Ruby Red over Magnetic pictures

Does anyone have any good ones other than the computer generated stuff on ford.com?

All kinds of pics with the caribou and that's not quite tripping my trigger.

Thanks!!!

I have that same problem with the computer generated pictures, its darn hard to tell what they really look like. Your computer settings make a big difference too.

I had the same problem finding a black and magnetic pic. So go to cars.com and search for 2017's. Filter with Lariat, color of choice and ads with photos.

Absolutely! I almost ordered a Lariat for this reason...but the call of the Platinum got me. Maybe I'll Line-X the portion that would have been the magnetic LOL

I've been thinking about the LineX bottom as well since I will have them do the inside of the bed too...
The factory spray-in bedliner is an expensive and innefective joke...

In my opinion, and I have heard it from a few others, the Caribou and Magnetic are TOO dark to be bottom accent colors. It worked better in the past when it was a lighter brown/lighter gold to go with the darker colors. The Caribou just looks out of place with Blue Jeans, Black, and even with the Ruby. Now it does not look too bad with the Bronze Fire and the White Gold...but to me it's too dark even with the White. I would say it even goes for the Magnetic two tone as shown above. It would look a whole lot nicer with a "lighter" shade of gray...or a lighter shade of Brown(Caribou). Basically Ford is running two dark colors together and it doesn't work.

If RAM can offer all colors of the rainbow - why can't Ford?

I'm not a big Ram fan, but they do have good trucks and so does Chevy for that mater, I think you cant really go wrong with any of the big three. I just happen to think Ford is the best! *Grins*.. but having said that, the paint jobs are the Ram's are really top notch.

Yeah, Ram does offer a lot of colors on their lower trims. But as you climb the trim level ladder, they start to restrict the base color options. Also you can only get the option for gray two tone on Laramie (~Lariat), only gold two tone on Laramie Long Horn (~King Ranch), no two tone on their Limited. Hmmm - sounds pretty familiar. At least with Ford you can get Caribou two tone on the Lariat as well.

Not that I am too picky but that should read "You can order Caribou..."

How about "at least with Ford you can look at computer renderings of Caribou two tone on a Lariat"?
