I'm a bit disappointed with the dropping of Guard Metallic. It's one of my favorites

 

I am glad that I picked up my Tux Black 15 and didn't hold out another year . I see nothing offered that would have been worthwhile. Sync3 sounds nice but i barely use any of the screen in mine as is.

 

The funny thing is back in the day people were saying how glad they were that they got a plain black truck and how it was a main reason they bought a 2009 and how awful the 2010 metallic flake is going to be. Now everyone is saying how glad they are to have the flake and they'd rather not have a regular black truck.

 

I like it

 

Wow, so they dropped the Guard Metallic. Glad I bought mine this year. I love that color!

Aren't magnetic and Lithium going to be awful close in color? I've been waiting for the second model year and was planning on a Guard Platinum. This changes things a bit.

 

Yes same here, love the color, as its different in sun, night or shade can live without sync 3

 

Thought I wasn't going to like the metallic but I LOVE it!

 

I'm really surprised they are dropping Tuxedo black. I think that is the best black color from any auto manufacturer. Before I bought my F-150, my previous 4 Fords were all Tuxedo black. Such a great looking color.

 

I like the tuxedo black. Hopefully as far as I know, my tuxedo black rcsb is coming in a few weeks. I guess it will be a rarity now. So the new black has no metal flake?

That special edition truck looks straight out of the 80's with the stripes and red trim.
