Default Truck color

I know this is kind of a trivial question, but it's still a big one when it comes time to buy.
Only reason why I'm asking this is because I have a friend that will not buy/drive a truck unless it's BLUE & a certain color blue too, no bling bling flare blue either.

While I've driven all colors of vehicles & couldn't care about the color (within a certain degree of colors ) as long as the vehicle was a good deal for condition/options/price/etc...

My question to you all is.

Would you buy a truck any color if it had everything you wanted for a package deal you're looking for ?

or

would you buy a truck with the color you like without all the bling/package deal ?

Of course I'm talking about your favorite colors for a truck, then your next favorites that you'd accept to drive, while then theres those certain colors its a hell no I refuse to drive that color.

Granted this is a trivial question, though just asking.

Truck must be a shade of red, only color I've had that wasn't a problem child in some way, don't know why, just is. Besides, red is a truck color. Have had 11 of them, all the way from a RWD Ranger Edge, to an 11 axle heavyhaul semi.

I voted any color. Thats true to a point, yellow or pink would probably weed it out. The truck i bought had everything i wanted it just happened to be silver. It could have been white, red or blue . My wife's SUV just happened to be blue.

Voted the 1st option, but none really apply to ordering a truck, which I did.
Considering the $$$$$ spent on these things, makes no sense to me to not get EXACTLY what you want.
The 79 day wait allowed me to start on my mods..

[QUOTE=johnday;5795799]Besides, red is a truck color. [/QUOTE]

Never knew that...

We like Ruby Red, but had it on non-trucks first, including minivans. Bought a dark green car (rush at Cash for Clunkers, little choice) and will NEVER do that again. In fact, put a new car on order, sold the dark green within 8 days. Now, new car looks iffy (i.e. may not get made due to lack of resources at end of model year), and since we want Ruby Red we may have to wait for a 2019, because no 2018 Ruby Red anywhere in US.

Didn't vote. I'll buy a limited range of colors I like not just any color, but options have to be there

We like Ruby Red,
Yes, my '12 was Race Red, within a month or so of owning it, I saw the new at that time Ruby Red, and was hooked. Got my wife a Ruby '15 Focus, then finally got my Ruby 150. Still want a Ruby Mustang GT with gray stripes though.

I've ordered my last few trucks so they came with the options and color that I wanted. If I was buying used I'd be a bit more flexible, probably anything but white, red or green.

There are a handful of colors I wouldn't want. If the price was good enough, maybe. But for the most part it isn't a big deal.

I've got a certain list of colors I'd buy, if it don't fall into that category I'm not spending the money. Gotta be what I want when I go to drop $$$ on a newer truck
