Old People Colors?
Just a few weeks ago some friends told me my new truck had old people colors. I laughed, I'm only 33. It is a stupid question but what are your comments on color selection? I factory ordered this truck and am really happy with it. I actually picked the color after seeing it elsewere, It wasn't my first choice. 04 Arizona Beige on Black F-250 SuperCab 4x4. I've never made that kind of connection before.

I'm 33 with Arizona Beige. I drove to 5 dealers looking for this color. We are getting up in years, you know. I have even approached a painter to paint a black section on the bottom. Maybe they are old people colors, but I prefer them. Old people buy white or light blue.

I think the beige-over-black is one of the sharpest combinations Ford offers. But I'm ancient at 47, and I drive a Town Car. Not a good sign.....

never heard that that particular color scheme was for old people,but i like it just fine, and at the ripe old age of 42 i guess it figures....but seriously if you like it who caresyou bought it! besides its probably them just tring to get under your skin they probably drive a very plain colored truck.

Hey guys hate to put a damper on your old timers talk. This color does not really apply to trucks as much as cars, but take a drive through an RV park look at all the vehicles towed behind the big diesel pushers, then drive through the section of town where the 55+ people live or known retirement communities. The gold, beige, maroon, and tan cars are the primary colors. Most the toyota camry. Every car accident I go one with a color car of the above colors is driven by a blue hair. On that note, they tend to not be as visible by the police or over looked when speeding etc. due to the stigma.

At 36 I am into the old colors! As a kid I lover black and bark blue and such, now I still like the look but dark colors are too hot and to hard to keep clean. Give me white, light grey / silver or beige any day!!!
