Tend to agree. It's quite a neutral color.

Ford's "Mineral Grey" from 2003 Super Duty and Excursion wins my award for hiding dirt. Mineral literally is the color of dirt. I went to horse shows during that period of time, and saw this one Mineral Gray pickup driving around the dirt arena delivering flakes of hay to the perimeter stalls, and you could see the hay easier than you could see the truck, the color blended in with the surrounding arena dirt so well.

But Spruce is a close second.

I wonder how popular Spruce would be among truck buyers if Ford called it "Save Our Environment Green"?

It is an awesome color for sure. My dealer gave it a shot trying the trade thing with other dealers for a Silver Spruce F450... but we found out that no one (and I mean no one) trades away their F450's (not even the dealer with 50+ on the lot). I then gave it a shot negotiating direct on the 3 Silver Spruce within a 300mi radius that fit my necessary options, but couldn't get anyone within $4K of my local dealer's order price (factoring trade in as well). That $4K difference goes a long way for tint, tonneau, etc. I'm not going to sit it out and wait for the 2020, so giving up on my Silver Spruce dreams and ordered my backup color of Silver Ingot.

Agreed. Love the color but it's not worth $4k to me, i would have taken the $$$$ too. Ingot is a great color as well.

White Gold has that beat.

I do like the color, though.

Nice, I tried two sets of Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in 295/65/20 but couldn't get them to balance. So i went with 285/65/20 K02's. I would have done that from the beginning but the K02 doesn't come in the 295 size.
Happy with the BFG, such a great tire. I have them on my Excursion that i leave out in Colorado in the winter, amazing in the snow.

How do they fit? Any rubbing etc. ? I went factory size cause I was worried about rubbing without a lift.

The 285's fit great, no issues at all. The 295's also fit with no problems. I had 295/65/20 Ridge Grapplers on my '18 Super Duty.

Looks like 295/65/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
