Love my Ingot silver. The only problem I have with it is that it really shows the
rail dust. Other than that i don't think i could have picked a better color for me.

Love my Fire Bronze. Looks great when clean and hides dirt well... not quite as my old 2013 Adobe color.

Looks great when clean and looks great when dusty. And everybody asks " What color is that? I talked to a guy yesterday that had a ruby red 16 that he put LOBO badges on it and the first thing he said was Nice truck What color is that?

Race Red. Aside from digs from my neighbor about my Fire Engine, I love it. It sits thru the week and is used primarily to tow the dirt bikes weekends. I bought a good cover cause my trees are real dirty. Takes just a minute to take off or put on and the truck always looks like I just washed it.

Ruby Red (and chrome) for me. Had a 14 in tuxedo black. I keep my stuff clean (daily trip thru the car wash) and just couldnt keep the lack clean. Plus it was a Scab and I moved up to a 15 Screw.

wrestling with this now.... Live down a long gravel driveway and do lots of highway driving - Wife drives black Surburban and like many have said, black looks nice when clean, but gets dirty fast and have found that touchless car-washes won't touch the grime film on the car - requires a good hand-washing (or two). Even when I do the manual spray wash (the bristle brush at the car wash never comes off the rack and near the car mind you), and high pressure, low pressure soap spray, foam stuff and rinse there remains a grimy film that only a proper hand-washing seems to be able to take care of on that vehicle.


Leaning to the Ruby Red - my existing car is a similar color (three-layer paint as well) and it looks NICE when clean but shows some dirt as well..... thought I would like the Magnetic but the more I look at it the less I'm sure..... coming down to Black, Ruby Red, Blue Jeans and Magnetic..... decisions, decisions....

I've wanted a white vehicle for years, and when it came time to buy, I wasn't going to compromise. I also knew I didn't want a black interior (heat reasons). While I love my White Platinum Metallic/Pearl/Tri-coat whatever-they-call-it, I also now really like the Ruby Red and Blue Flame Metallic. If I were buying today, I'd be willing to look at a Ruby Red or Blue Flame with Camel interior.

I just went through the same exact process, and I have never had a problem picking a colour on a car before, but when I started to look at trucks it was a whole different game. I started off looking for a timeless look that still would good in 4-5 yrs, so I was looking at a platinum white lariat with the chrome pkg, truly a classy looking truck, then saw a black SE Lariat, and it was totally badass but I knew how much work it would be to keep clean. Finally I was driving around and saw a Ruby Red SE lariat, and that sealed the deal. The paint looks amazing and has a great depth and colour. Just have to wait until Sept to get it....sigh Loved the blue jeans as well....

Ruby Red was my first choice and white my second. I got a white one.

Pros: When it gets dirty it looks like White Platinum.

Cons: Everytime I see Ruby Red, I miss my last one.
