"Desert Copper"

I have yet to see a truck with my color (except for one online here), the dealer calls it desert copper. Is kinda like a burt orange, i wasnt crazy about it at first but it has grown on me. Ive got plenty of pictures in my two galleries, which need to be updated. Since then ive finished my sound system with an eclipse amp and two JL 10's, and ive put in new stock chrome mirrors and diamond headlights/corners. I should have new pics up soon.

Anyone else have this colored truck or seen it? Lemme know what yall think of the color (ugly or just fine) thanks.

I saw that color on eBay a few months back... I didn't really like it at first, but I'm like you... It grew on me also. I'll bet that's an expensive color...

Sweet looking ride by the way.

Never was a big lover of that color as a solid color.. But I did like it as an accent color.
(Tuscon Bronze with Dessert Copper as the accent)

Looks great with black as an accent color. I've seen a few, not many. I like it.

Same here. I don't see too many solids though, but quite a few of the two-tone ones. Could have bought a really nice one almost identical to my '95 when I was looking for it.

Hey snowman, my dad's '95 F-250 is that color. I believe the name of that color is desert coppertone. I haven't seen many in that color, probably seen about five trucks with that color. I really didn't like the color when my dad's truck was new, but I like it now. I guess it just has to grow on you.

Now that I think of it, there is a newer Ranger here locally with that color. But, I've never seen an F-150 that color here locally...

Again, that's one sharp truck. I want to see some pics of those crystal headlights!!

Been away for a few days on a snowmobile trip to grayling, just got back. Thanks for the comments.

Does make sense Tylus, because it was from the south... nice rigs, i was lookin at a couple lift setups for mine.

By the way nightrain nice truck, makes me want to paint mine black lol. Im working on those headlight pics, gotta wait till shes clean first.

You oughtta see mine right now... We just recently got 4" of ice and snow and I haven't washed the salt off of my truck yet. She's Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaasty!! I'm gonna get it off once this rain comes through and washes all of the salt off of the roads...

Once again, that's one sharp truck. I'd rather have it than my black one.
