Red is for sports cars not trucks....

Just kidding my first truck was red. Its not my favorite but looks good clean and doesn't show dirt as bad as black or navy.

You must have liked it or you wouldn't have bought it?? Seriously I look at other color F 150's all the time and say....."What if I bought that color?". But in the end, I'm very happy with my choice. By the way, red looks great on trucks!

I've got a 2010 FX4 in the candy red. Personally, I love the color. I have the front tinted to match the rear (LLumar ATR 15), and that made the whole thing look even better. The color doesn't show dirt that bad. It does show rock chips pretty obvious. If I had to do it again, I would pick the same color again or go with the blue flame. They make a lighter red color, but I am not a fan. Looks too much like lipstick red...

I picked Royal Red just cause it's such an "off" color, and I've only seen a handful of other ones driving around here


it can kinda be described the same way you describe your shade of red; looks maroon in the shade, but looks really good when the light hits it just right and makes the metal flakes "pop"








although I have to give it to Ford for making the color look a LOT better on their web site, lmao







your truck looks good, raBit!

raBit - the candy red looks great.
iamsuperbleeder - love that color.
Here's one of my Lariat in direct sun, and one from the shady side, reinforcing your point about contrast from the same color.

Superbleeder you drive a purple truck! JK I really like the color. The next one I am excited about is the brown one coming out in 2011. I LOVE me a brown truck and no one has had the stones to build one in many years.

I think the red candy metallic looks good, almost got that color. But I truly loved the red fire metallic i had on my 07. When I parked beside the new "red" it wasn't close enough to the old one, so we went with the tux black. Nice looking trucks guys.
