HELP deciding Magnetic or Ruby Red

I am getting ready to order a new Lariat and am torn between the two colors. My last two have been white and i am just ready for a change and I am considering the Agate with the Camel interior and the Magnetic with of course the black interior. I plan on putting on a leveling kit, 35" Ridge Grapplers, and 20x9 wheels with a -12 offset. Does anyone have pics of either color of truck with this setup? And i would like to see if anyone has the Agate blk with the camel interior. Any thoughts, ideas or comments are welcome for this is my first time of ordering a truck

Thanks

I had black before. Too much maintenance. You wash the thing and within a couple of hours you'll see dust and other crap on the paint. It loos FANTASTIC when clean though. But who wants to constantly wash the truck?

I had a magnetic 150. Now a silver 250. The magnetic is still hard to keep looking clean...but not like black. I'll never buy another black car again. The silver looks great and I know it's dirty.

But between those two I'd go with magnetic.

I agree with Jeff. I had a black 2002 F350 and own a magnetic Jeep Grand Cherokee. My current SD is silver and love it. Sharp looking and always appears clean. Between those two, I'd probably go with magnetic.

Traded a Tuxedo Black F150 for a Magnetic F250... No regrets, it was the best color choice for me. Similar setup except for 35x12.5 KO2s and +18mm offset on wheels:

Had black, and lost 150 was magnetic grey. Black sucked to keep clean, gray was easier but still showed scratches easy. Went white on my current 250

Black is a cool color if you don`t have a problem with constant cleaning because it`ll be like a second job. Also, scratches and such show up best on a black vehicle. The cleaning will also apply to the Camel interior and they will show dirt just as much as the black exterior.

With that being said.....Magnetic all the way.

Loved my tan interior in my 2015. Didn’t have issues with it getting dirty.

I’ll be different and vote Black and Tan.

No other color looks better than a clean black truck. You'd need a microscope to see any imperfections. I'll bet half the people on this forum wash their truck once or twice a week so what's the difference what color you have. They all need constant maintenance. No reds, blues, whites for me but I have to admit the magnetic is a nice color.
