Real Life new Ruby Reds?

Show us your 2025 Ruby Reds. There are mostly stock photos online and dealer lot pictures. I would be interested in seeing new Ruby Reds photographed in the wild. Bonus points to Ruby Red owners who also had the prior red.

Heres my 2025 RR KR I got two days ago







First three are in my driveway, last one at dealership with a little more sun on it .

Heres a Rapid Red 2020 F 450 I had . Rapid Red took the place of Ruby Red in 2020 and ended in 2024 . Ruby Red is back for 2025




I loved the 2020 so went with red on the 2025

Actually cwtex your pics are about the only ones I had seen, and prompted this thread. Your at home pics (looks overcast) are a little darker than I expected and I am looking for more pictures in different environments.

Just ordered a Ruby Red myself.

It hasn’t been very sunny the last couple of days . Supposed to have sun tomorrow and I’ll shot a picture. I’ve got a matching Ruby Red Leer topper that will go on Tuesday.

I like it. I have a Rapid Red '23 King Ranch, and I like both of the colors.

I prefer the Rapid Red over the Ruby. I had Ruby on a 2016 F150 and it was a disaster as the clear peeled. If I was going to order I would have chosen Rapid, but Ford dropped it so went with a 24 on lot truck instead. Not Rapid, but Star White, which was my other choice.

My favorite color is still Magma Red, but that White Gold on a Platinum that Ford has out a few years back was a really nice combination too.

I think the Rapid has a richer look to it with more metallics.

I loved the Rapid Red but I think the Ruby Red is very close to the Rapid Red . I’m not sure if the Ruby Red is still the same as the older Ruby Red . My truck seems to have a lot of metallic in it like the Rapid Red did . I have a topper paint matched and I’m hoping they match well enough. Tomorrow we will see .




They had it on a high rack so it was tough getting a good look at it .

Looks like a jewel... Love 2 tone trucks.

Next truck will probably be a KR two tone, but will drop the painted bumpers and install chrome.

Wish they still installed the two tone fender caps...

Me too , I like it on the fenders . I still wish they had the Caribou lower accent.

Every time i pass my local Ford dealer, all i see is sea of black, white and a few weird gray/blues mixed in. I had to special order my rapid red to get an actual color. I really want to see more color rather than a fleet of rental cars. Good to see there are still folks that like color that’s not a weird matte gray/blue!

Had to take the wife’s suv in for service and was given a courtesy car. Of course it was white. Just shoot me.

Funny thing is I have been gravitating towards lighter colors (white, silver, grey/blue) for many years because they hold up better, in my experience, in crappy New England weather.

I was at the dealership with all intentions of going Star White, or Carbonized Metallic, but stopped completely in my tracks when I saw a Lariat in Rapid Red Metallic. Since that moment, I knew the truck I was going to order would be red.

As you all know, RRM was replaced with Ruby Red for 2025. I am happy about this because my last non-white/silver/blue grey was a 2015 Ruby Red Metallic F150 Platinum. Looks like I'm back in a Ruby Red Platinum ten years later.
