I hate all of You Ruby Red Owners. lol J/K I'm so mad I didn't get the Ruby instead of the White. The White is nice, but it looks like 80% of all the Trucks out here.
I counted 15 Cars in the Court I live in the other Day, 11 of them were White.
My next one will be Ruby Red!!!

Great Looking truck, and you aren't far from me, I recognized the Fairfield Mall in the background! Our trucks are identical except you have white letters out and cab lights!

IMO the Ruby Red is far and away the best color on this truck. I was considering Magnetic Grey due to the fact that it tends to look cleaner even when dusty. However, every time I look at my truck, the red always evokes the thought "damn, my truck looks gorgeous"!

You guys are inconsiderate $&"@#% toward your trucks. If you REALLY LOVED YOUR TRUCKS, as I do, you would have gotten BLACK so you could stay up close and personal with it while maintaining it all the time. Silly kids.

Yeah.... I said that four times. This WILL BE MY LAST black truck. What an idiot! I let Ford push me into it with a last minute personal rebate, no dealer stock, 2017 builds closed, and start of 2018 production in question. I was going to keep this one for a while, but just prior to 100k, I'll look to trade. I'm sure Ruby will be gone by then. It's been around a LONG time.

Funny, I never really noticed them until I got one. When I found mine in the center of a sea of trucks, I was stunned. I really liked the pearl blue metallic of my old truck, but it never affected me the way this one does.

I agree! I particularly like the 2-tone with matching bumpers on my F450.

Ruby Red is my favorite color on Ford trucks BUT I bought a Magnetic Gray truck. I didn’t want to spend the time and effort to keep another Red vehicle clean. In the 11 months and 11000 miles of owning a Magnetic truck I’ve washed it 3 times. That’s with being outside all 11 months.

I had at Matahorn Red Lexus, similar to Ruby Red, and it was covered in my garage. It was beautiful but it needed to be washed almost every time I took it for a ride.

My beloved Red Lexus SC430.
