I've always been a fan of 2-tone(yes, I guess now you could consider me an old man at 56).

Ford does 2-tone right, I had a GM 2-tone in the late 90's and they didn't continue the bottom color across the doors in back. It was really an after thought.

My last truck was a '10 F150 Oxford white, and Gold, I did have several comments about it being an old man truck.

I think it works better in some combos than others, but generally I like how it visually lowers the truck. Its a styling trick, similar to how OEMs make roofs look thicker or thinner by how high window glass goes before meeting sheet metal. On mine, I think the caribou lower panels and bumper really make the white platinum paint pop. WP is hard to photograph, but in person its really nice.

I wish it was an option on all trims and packages. A lariat or xlt sport with magnetic bottom would be awesome. Just like my '06 was!

I'm debating on a hand painted small red pin between the two.

Since your truck is a King Ranch, shouldn't the two-tone paint cover the front and rear bumper as well?

I would have gone with two tone in a heartbeat if it had been available on an XLT Sport.. and I'm far (ish) from an old man at 30...

Had 2 options with my KR. Platinum white mono or PW with the brown trim at the bottom. Frankly to me, the Mono looks way better, and much more classy and clean. Im not a fan of the 2 tone.

Every other truck I have had was two-toned. I like both but what matters most is what the owner likes!



2007 KR



2011 Lariat



2013 KR



2015 Lariat
