I ordered a 2012 tuxedo black with blue accent package. I saw a used 2010 blue flame today for sale and it was nice. I wanted input from anybody with a blue flame. I am really am thinking about changing my order now before I get a vin. It would be easier to keep clean, I got all graphics so they would show better. I know black is gorgeous, when clean that is. Open for opinions please....

So you like the blue flame. I always see pics where it looks good inside but when sun hits it I wasn't sure. Then when I saw one today it was nice.

BTW OP: I would stick with the black exterior and blue inserts. If I still lived in Texas, I'd go with a blue truck.

Haha, love it!!!

As for input on a bluie.... What can one say, it's not a color for everyone but I love mine... I was skeptical at first as blue was lower down on my list of prefs but my only option other than waiting for a 12 was a blue in another state that my dealer could trade for... If I had it to do over, I wouldn't change a thing. Black is damn hard to keep spotless, but a real gem when it is....

I love my Blue Flame. White was my first choice, I had actually never seen a Blue Flame in person and during my search for a truck I came across a Blue Flame and it was love at first sight. It was even sitting right next to a white Raptor just like I thought I had wanted and I still left there with the Blue one.

Like Viper said, the color is not for everyone, but for me it sets it off. You see a ton of the black and white trucks in these parts and black is a nightmare to keep clean, it shows dents and scratches the worst, and is bloody hot in the Texas summer. No matter what you go with, you will still have an amazing truck, best of luck.
