I had a 2016 XLT in Blue Jeans....beautiful color but a PAIN to keep clean my Mom has a silver Chrysler minivan so decided on Ingot Silver 2018 XLT so it wouldnt look dirty every time it rained.... including pics of 2016 and photoshopped pic of what I ordered to include my mods

 

Lead foot on the SE is an awesome color. Not sure why they kept so much Red on the Lariat's but I do like how they toned it down on the XLT's.

 

2 months waiting for it and 2 months of ownership - worth waiting for! - super impressed! Didn't see on the road another one same colour (or SE) just yet. For now I feel "exclusive" LOL!

Grill and wheel colors match and complement perfectly the body color.
Easy to clean, no metallic finish to show too much any swirls down the road (just like my previous Oxford White) and salt grime from the road doesn't cause an eyesore.

6.5 bed just as what you're looking for.

 

My choice would be different if I lived somewhere like Cali or Flor. My Ruby was aweome in sun light. But was bla on cloudy days.

 

Believe me the truck was mostly all covered by road salt and yuk spray! (always try to keep glass as clean as possible) If you look at the stripes on the front foor where it turns to the back, the black one almost disappears under the spraying. Yet looks like the Leadfoot color is still dominant over it

This was last week, before i washed it and I always hand wash my cars, so I had to wait these 2 months to be able to do it due to the cold temps. Not too bad for all that time of playing in the muck, was it?

 

I agree with you. If I lived on a mostly sunny place I'd choose a brighter colour.

 

Matches my Fusion colour magnetic

 

Go on auto trader and look at the different colors in different lighting conditions. Some dealers take bad photos, but you will get a better idea of how it looks everyday, not after wash and wax.


I'm looking to order a XLT sport but am in love with Lightning Blue, but on the SE package I think it clashes with the red accents.


My order of choice would be, magnetic, silver, white, and then black. I have bad luck with red vehicles.


On the magnetic I drove the black only stripe was barely visible, black would be similar but Lariat has the red and grey added to highlight it more.

 

Guard Metallic with or without the two tone

 

I have white and think it's the easiest color to keep clean. I can not wash it for weeks if not over a month and it still looks fine.

OP, I vote race red, white, then magnetic.
