Black, White and Silver are best for resale, which you may or may not be concerned about. Blue, Red and Terrain while all nice, will not be as attractive for resale. I would choose Silver over White, it's a much classier color on the F150. White looks too much like a company fleet vehicle.

White then accent with black. Best of both worlds shows no body scratches but you get the hotness of blackness. Silver always looks dirty but would be my second choice if I were going to wrap, paint or line x the outside an OD Green.

Round and round I go, I am having a tough time picking just one.

However, after another day at the dealers lot staring at trucks I think the best color for me is going to be the terrain.

I have floundered back and forth between the Blue and the Terrain.

Blue is such an in your face beautiful color and with the blue accent interior would just be awesome. But the Terrain seems pretty low maintenance as far as keeping it clean.

If i did get the blue I would want to color match the bumpers, fender flares, and door handles. The Terrain is just fine the way it is.

So I guess that settles that, time to sign that buyers order and write a deposit check.

Terrian FTW here!!

Terrain is the only choice. Unique and different. Everybody I have met absolutely loves the color.

White is too generic.....black is a pain in the butt to live with.....silver....booorrring.......red.....raptor ain't a Ferrari......blue.....looks good especially with graphics and beadlocks.......terrain.......badass!

Just my opinion of course.

Ps: this is coming from a guy who was set on white before seeing a terrain raptor in the flesh.

Either way, whatever color you choose.....you gain about 2 inches......you drive a raptor.

I would think it's the other way around. Don't see how common colors could be more appealing then colors that set the truck off from every other color on the road.

Black- will look good for a few months when new, until all the swirl marks and tiny scratches take over.

White- Looks like a fleet vehicle

Silver- Boring.

Don't see how these would appeal more to someone on a used car lot compared to blue,red,terrain.. However I do agree that on a regular f150 I would prefer the less vibrant colors because a regular f150 is boring so it fits the truck. And the terrain is a love or hate color. I personally think it fits the raptor great.And is only for the raptor. Which I think can be very desirable to some people,especially when it comes to resale. Because the people who buy these trucks are enthusiasts who have a good idea about them going into the purchase.

Yup. Exactly why I bought a terrain. It's highly sought after. The dealer I bought it from had two, the owner was keeping one as a "demo unit" they had 3 black ones that they tried to dump one on me for "a good price". Terrain resale should be good- it I ever sell it that is.
