Color observation

[swoop1156]

I wanted Blue for my first Raptor and had to settle with Black. I wanted Silver for my Crew and got Silver and love it.

I am getting ready to order a 2012 SuperCrew and I am torn between white, blue, and red.

I have had 2 other owners one Black, one Silver that wanted to trade for my Blue

So I'm been killing myself over which color I should get. Want to get a screw with everyting but graphics & nav, but I'm torn between silver and red. Silver will look better dirt & time, but the red is new for 2012 and looks sick! Anybody ever had problems with swirl in their red trucks? I look at this truck as an investment so I don't want the color going to **** after driving through New Mexico like a loony.

No one has a red truck yet But I know there were some issues with the GT500's in red at one point with the paint. I've never been a flat red fan but I like the candy with the metalic in it alot. I saw the red on a Focus and decided it wasn't for me though.

I am still 80% towards blue right now. The other 20% is split between white and black and silver. If I get black I'll kick myself the first time i wash it though. OK 90% Blue and 5% each for White and Silver. That being said I would encourage you not to look at the truck as an investment. While it holds value amazingly well I highly doubt it will ever sell for more than you bought it for. I'm not a professional so this is just an opinion but enjoy the truck - don't plan on cashing out of it in the future

White is nearly as bad as black. every black spec of dirt and tar shows up, and every bit of yellowish sap or crap shows up on it as well. Hides swirls much better, but still doesn't hide dirt too well.

i wear my mud proud like a badge of honor lol scratches were always my issue not mud ....muds well mud it comes off esasly, but thx for the advice i do have to worry about tree sap freaking stuff is horrid to get off pain in my a$$

 

[Reptar]

it's not the easy stuff that comes off like Mud i'm talking about, it's the royal PITA stuff like tar and sap. The sides get filled with more specs of road tar than you'd think there really would be, and the top you discover all the shades of sap that have dripped on the truck even if you don't park under a tree lol. Trust me white is almost as bad as black for keeping clean. Way easier as far as swirls, practically invisible on white, but still a royal PITA for keeping clean
