Congrats, from one Ruby to another. Nice looking truck! I agree, must be the light. There is a bronze color that is a little darker, yours reminds me of that... BTW, the Weather Techs are amazing. I got the full over the hump mat in the front since I have the jump seat and the back is really nice too...

I'm loving the dent resistance of aluminum vs steel. Almost 10,000 miles and 8 months and not one dent. I have one scratch under the headlight from debris in the road and that's in the plastic trim.

That's the color I was thinking of... Couldn't remember the name... It does look like Bronze Fire. See my post above... Mine is definitely Ruby Red... Here's another angle.
