go for one of the colors offered, you can't go wrong! i think the silver is the easiest to pay off. although true blue does make the handling better. if you want ultimate off-road ability though, go with the black - it has a touch more ground clearance.

Grey or white trucks look like they are still waiting to be painted... Sorry guy's I think they look horrible... Never, never another white vehicle for me...


Ford's truck colors all stink and are boring... Mine's Wedgewood blue...looks like someone spilled a can of grey into a can of blue and renamed it... True Blue is too dark of a blue.. They need something brighter in the blue catagory leaning toward teal. Toreador Red is nice if you are into deep red and I'm thinking that for the 250 next time..

Best bet is to check the multiple gallerys here in this forum, or at cardomain.com, or at the ford website, or e-bay to see the differing colors.

Why does this thread exist? Who in the world cares about what their truck paint looks like in the sun? Trucks are utility vehicles. They are suppose to be used, scratched, dented and abused. Edited

Sorry..we don't beat a 30-40k truck up and dent it, scratch it and beat the crap out of it! You can do that to yours all you want, be my guest! No one these days beats there cars up in that way! Why do you think Ford made thse trucks look this way now? It's since people don't use them for work anymore hardly and they want the looks and comfort to go with it! We all care about what are truck looks like and baby the hell out of them! I'll even avoid dirt roads if it's to bad! Don't start that garbage saying these trucks are ment to be garbage trucks! Get a life man!

Hey truebluefx, I just e-mailed you but forgot to put anything down in the subject box. It's all the info about my brush guard. The first 3 letters of my e-mail are PRS.

Edited by Admin Go get a Cadillac. If you don't go where a truck should go you are dishonoring the vehicle. Ford is the number one seller of trucks BECAUSE of fleet sales for work trucks. The new F150 is an ugly truck too. The previous models were much better looking. But only a vain, materialistic person would care. $30-$40k is a normal price for any average car. If you want luxury why would you get a Ford? They don't offer any luxury.

First you say trucks are utility vehicles, then you say they look ugly, then you say only a vain person would care. Thanks for your opinion mister multiple personality.

First thing I did before I bought my truck was to go to my little brother's body shop (who does the warranty paint work for the dealership) and ask him if the color I wanted (silver) matched if it was ever needed. Be sure to pick a color that matches easily. There are a couple of Ford's colors that are difficult to impossible to match (some of the metallic tan or golds). Nothing worse than owning a color that you know will not match if you hit something or something hits you.
