choosing a color (dont laugh)

[LastLight]

So I have committed to getting a Raptor.

Trying to narrow down a color has been a challenge for me.

Started with White, switched to Silver, now I have moved onto Blue. Its a circle that never ends and becomes a nightly headache.

Good problem to have I know but I think its now between a Blue and Silver. I don't see to many of either color around here and I will enjoy either one once it is parked in the driveway.

2013s are not being marked down and 2014s are almost here. I may as well order a 2014 in the color I want.

Any advantages to either color other than personal choice?

The advantage is a year better in resale value for close to the same initial cost. And also by ordering, you get all of the options you really want without compromise.

After now having seen all colors in person, I may have went with blue instead of black. Blue flame raptors when heavily mod'ed are sweet looking. Especially with graphics.

Not a fan of terrain.

I have noticed that the black ones are faster, but damn there are a lot of fast ones around.

go with your initial choice. They look amazing clean, dirty, modded, unmodded.

I do like the white too, although my current truck of 5 years is all white and I am considering a change in color this time.

my wife summizes it like this,

White - I have already had a white truck for over 5 years and a change would be nice
Silver - conservative color, more mature looking, easy to keep clean
Blue - Immature, party style, Hey look at me style, younger person.

Once she broke it down like that, I immediately wanted a BLUE one.


Looks like a new 2014 order will not get here until Mar/Apr at this point from my local dealers. Not so sure I like the new 2014 bed side graphics coming out either. May add my own.

Before I got my Raptor I knew I had to have the Molten Orange.

Since I've had my Raptor a little more than 2 years, I realize I had to have a Raptor, regardless of the color. The worst color is wonderful.

It's like a beautiful woman, she's beautiful no matter what color dress she has on. And when you get in her, you can't see the dress.

My color choice would be:
Terrain (Raptor only - may hold value longer due to uniqueness)
Blue
White
Red
Silver/Black

Silver is boring and Black is a pain in the ass to keep clean. Red looks like you're driving a firetruck around also IMO.

Go with the blue with the blue interior it brings the color to the inside just enough to make it cool not to much to be boy racer. Silver is a little plain depending on the graphics. Black is to hard to clean. White can be very cool. Blue with graphics is a very good combo not to much or to little but just right in my opinion the more you mod the cooler it gets it's all around good gals to see you chose it.

Ps red should only be for Ferraris or select sports cars not big truck the color does lend itself to fire trucks

I dont see the best color option amongst your choices. You may want to rethink things through and go for black. Its not only the best looking color for the Raptor, but its also the fastest and can jump highest

IMO black is the best looking color for most vehicles. However, I swore off owning another black vehicle back in 1990 and I still refuse to own any black vehicle today. Pain in the A$$ to keep clean and shows all kinds of scratches. With the pine trees in Florida it will look yellow with pollen most of the time.

I just drove my white tacoma through the jungle swamp scratching limbs down both sides and the top and you can hardly see anything.

I am really leaning towards that BLUE with the blue accent interior and I think it will be ordered as of tomorrow.
