If it's at all possible, it would be great to see a Brunello interior Platinum in a normal daylight environment, if you come across one Oser51. You've already done way more than I'd ever expect, but figure it couldn't hurt to ask! I know a lot of us are curious what it looks like in normal light.

Pb65, here's some pics posted by ChrisFX4 a few weeks ago. They're from a 2015 Expedition and are the best natural light pics I've seen of Brunello.

Hope this helps.

Oser, completely agree...we'd like to see more Brunello if you can!

I also am worried about the truck being too dark with a dark exterior/dark interior, which means I keep coming back to the Platinum Tri-Coat white, even though I wanted a different color than white this time.
This is the biggest purchase of my life, and my first real experience of "spoiling" or rewarding myself for my hard work, so I want to do it with no regrets.
EDIT: Also, just curious - what dealer in Denver do you use? Have they treated you pretty well? I am relatively new to the area while I am happy with the person I've worked with at Groove Ford so far, I'd love to hear of a better alternative.

Thanks, those help a little. I still can't quite decide if I think it's red or not. I am quickly finding that the interior color/style is my biggest hurdle in what to order. I really like the KR leather, but do not like the black carpet that comes with it. I do think the black carpet works better with the Brunello, but not sure I like the leather color as much.

One big concern I have is hopefully ford does a much better job with preparing the aluminum of the truck before etching it before paint. A bunch of aluminum hoods on some of the older vehicles are not holding up

The hoods and paint of my 1997 & 2004 F-150s are doing just awesomely with no issues. The paint jobs on the four trucks I noted at the PDX Driving Event yesterday were very impressive...except for a slight flaw at the base of one pre-production vehicle's antennae.
