When I was sitting at the dealer and ordering my Blue '14 SCrew my decision came down to either getting the Sunroof or the blue interior option. I originally had a sunroof in my Nismo Frontier and SE Titan but never really used it. When I purchase my '10 Ram I choose no sunroof and I haven't looked back since.

From reading other posts on this this forum I have seen several posts stating the size of the sunroof on the F150 is not worth the grand they are charging.

Seems the majority on this thread speaks for the blue accent package or this is just a case where those who do not have the package choose not to read this thread and the vote is skewed.

Hopefully I made the better decision with getting the accent package especially given my exterior color is blue. Anyways, time will tell and I'll hopefully get to see my Raptor with the accent package before Santa comes through.

It is not the size of the sunroof, it's the way you use it. Having it open along with the back sliding window creates great air circulation.

Didn't have the option of blue interior in the Terrain :(

And that's a GOOD thing, because if they did, I would have traded in my blue flame 2012 for a terrain 2013! That blue interior not being offered was the only thing that held me back lol.

Yeah I was on the edge wiht the moon roof. Never had one so I was interested in getting one, but not for ~1k! If it were $800 I probably would have done it, but that 4 digit price tag was just too much. After sitting in a Raptor with one, I'm glad I didn't. It's tiny for the size of our massive roof. And our 2013 Explorer sport has one, and I try to use it, but I always end up shutting it. It's either too sunny out and I want the shade, or I open it up and it barely does anything for airflow compared to the side windows lol

Agree with the Blue interior. Finally found one that was an hour away from me and went to see it and it looks great. I really liked the darker aluminum and the blacked out speakers. Blue stitching looked really good too. I love the white accent stitching on my black seats in the Mustang. The interior looks way different in person from the pictures on Ford's website. This thread has some good pictures.

See, this is why I said I would hate this place in my new member check in post. I only saw the pictures on the Ford site and thought it was just the sections in the seats were blue. I wasn't impressed with what I saw and opted not to get the blue package. Now that I've seen the whole interior I really wish I had ordered it with my Blue Flame exterior. I guess I could always trade my truck in when it gets here for new one with the blue interior.:dogpile:

I opted for a no go on the blue after much consideration. It's a nice touch but it's hard to beat the two tone combo of black and silver.

Also, I think the blue would apply to a narrower buyer base upon resale which I plan to do after 18 months of ownership on the 14.

How are you going to handle upgrades if your going to sale in a year or so. I am going to go for a plus four. That will probably kill my hope to buy a redesigned raptor in 2016.

Well I e-mailed my dealer this morning and asked for it to be added to my truck. They are going to see if the can add it without knocking my delivery date back.

Dealership had the truck I wanted except it had blue interior. I told the salesman to deduct the $700 cost off for blue interior and then pay me another $700 for having to take a truck with such an ugly interior.
