Only downfall is that she shows dirt! Sprinkled a hair last night here in Vegas and it needs a wash... I recently had Americoat put on to protect the paint and make it easier to wash. Ordered 20*9 Fuel Mavericks and 305/55/20 Nitto G2's. Ceramic tint is next!

I ordered a Ruby Red w/caribou accent in my Lariat which should hopefully show up in about a month. Really liked that color and the first time I've moved away from White, Black, or Green in previous vehicles.

Shows dirt a little worse than silver, but much better than black. Love the color.

Thanks for the pics guys. The trucks look great. I am starting to lean towards the Ruby more than the white, but trying to convince the girlfriend is seeming to be a bit more difficult. More to follow Im sure.

Default It's worth it

It's well worth the extra $395. My wife loves it and so do I.

I don't have the Platinum but I Love the Ruby Red, after 9 years of a black f250, I ordered the Ruby Red Lariat. Can't wait to pick up tomorrow!

Let me know if those didn't end up being near you.


***Ruby red was also my first choice, but was already too common in the employee parking area at work so I went Oxford Lariat to match my 5.0
Those are both close thank you...Might have to head over to Davies later tonight; C Harper lost any chance of me being a customer a long time ago

Ruby Red DOES show water spots & such. Week before last I clay-bar'd it, and went over it with Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax, and while it was shiny I could STILL see spots. This was after many months of just washing it weekly with the carwash stuff that supposedly has wax right in it (bull****).

So went back over (the hood, anyway) with the cleaner wax paste, and it's shining brightly now.

My last two GM vehicles were their "Pewter" metallic color. It looked great when polished up, but when it was dirty you didn't even notice.

With this red, I absolutely do notice it.

You can always see if Davies will dealer trade if you prefer the Eco Short*bed at Harper

I am driving my first non crimson red vehicle in 8 years. I got an Oxford white lariat. Looks cleaner and seems to stay cooler in The hot Georgia sun. These two things and possibly easier time resale were what I was looking for.

Wife loves the truck but constantly brings up that she misses the Ruby Red.

Great looking trucks guys.
