I love my ruby red/magnetic it "looks" clean most of the time but all the dust from the fall leaves drive me crazy.



and all my buddies that do bodywork bitch about the expense and pain it to repair

I get compliments on my Ruby Red/Caribou daily. Literally. My wife's F-150 is Ruby Red and she loves it also. Washes up nice. No regrets.

My 150 is Ruby Red and I love it.

Almost bought a white truck, I'm so glad I didn't.

I also Regret it Every Day! Because of the inflatable seatbelt recall, I wasn't able to purchase my RR that was sitting on the Dealers lot. So I got impatient and ended up Buying the White platinum. I regret not waiting another couple of Weeks for the Ruby. The best Color on any Vehicle IMHO

Originally I thought - white platinum/caribou. Then White gold caribou. I spent a year thinking these were the colors for me to match the camper I don't yet have. Then I drove a RR. It was all over. The next day I bought my Fat bottom girl. People love the color as I do.

I've had two Ruby Red trucks. It gets compliments all the time. My buddy is a painter for Ford. He tells me that Ruby Red is an original "House of Kolors" paint color that Ford bought the rights to. Money well spent in my opinion.


As far as Ford changing the color, I don't see it myself. The same bottle of touch-up paint works on my 2017 that I used on my 2014 and matches perfectly.
However, who knows. He was telling me that some colors come about by mistake. Wedgewood blue was used for years. After a plant shut down the assembly line restarted and no one noticed that the paint mixers on the Wedgewood Blue line weren't working and a bunch of vehicles were already painted. Rather than repaint all those vehicles, Ford looked at them and decided that they liked the color. Dark Wedgewood blue was born. They matched the color and used it for several years.

My only regret is when I drive everyone else gets to look at the truck more than I do!
