I was at my dealer today getting a malfunctioning O2 sensor replaced. They had a Ruby Red Raptor in the show room. It looked real nice. Real nice until I looked at the sticker. The MSRP was ~~ $73,000, and after dealer markup, it came to a cool $85,000. Doesn't look so nice anymore.
BTW - The O2 sensor was probably fine. A rodent had gotten to the wiring harness and chewed through one of the wires. They might have been able to repair the break, except that the ^(%!$#@ rodent had chewed it off right at the sensor (nothing left to connect to).

Was at my dealer this afternoon, and looked at an Explorer ST. No, I won't be buying one, even though it was nice, and I liked the power it offered.
Anyway, it was the new Rapid Red. I had my Ruby 150 parked right next to it so I could get as best a comparison as I could on a cloudy day. It was a shade or two lighter than Ruby, and seemed to have less flake in it. It is a nice color, and I'm having a hard time deciding to stay with red, or go Magnetic. My last 6 vehicles have all been a shade of red, including 3 Ruby. May be time to change up. I've got to August to make up my mind.

Yes, it does. When I got this truck, I drove an '18 SCrew Magma down to another dealer as a trade for mine. It's a nice color, but looked black too much for me. I liked the way it changed color.

Sorry to hear about the unexpected repair.

I have a Magma F150 and love how the color shifts dependig on how the sun is hitting. No sun it looks like a chocolate brown.

Wow.......That’s utterly insane especially if all they did was replace one 02 sensor.

I figured that is how they finance all the ones they replace under warranty.

Dropped in at my dealer this afternoon, and lo and behold, they've got 4 2020's already. Walked in the door, and one of the guys says, " don't go anywhere, I'll get you a key"! Had a Magnetic XLT Sport that he knew I'd want to look at, I needed to see if the grille magnetic was same as the body, it is, glossy.
Anyway looked at the sticker, it was a 302A. The build and price site says auto folding mirrors are included, wrong, not on this one, and it didn't have BLIS either like the site says.
