Question #2: What color do I bring home?

That would be a big "Nope". But thanks for playing.

Then you should find a ‘17 my friend. Or go for performance blue.

also, Hannity said he drives a 2020 Avalanche SCREW. Sorry I was misinformed.

He may have had it painted or wrapped. It is an awesome color.

I love the in your face Velocity Blue, but I’m biased...

Closest side by side to Leadfoot next to my truck I have is this (neighbors) Huracan, shortly after I drove it...

Wow, so earlier Leadfoot had a 8-2 lead but blue has closed to 8-7. This one may go into extra innings. I'm leaning Leadfoot with the Recaro interior.

Leadfoot has my vote. I ordered mine in PB because it reminded me of the color of my dad's '76 Bronco he bought new off the lot. I'd been driving a gray '12 loaded FX4 F-150 so couldn't see getting another gray truck this time.

I was lucky enough to get to see Velocity Blue and Performance Blue side by side on two Raptors at the dealership.

My wife and I were absolutely torn. She initially loved the Velocity Blue as it was more electric, and she felt it defined the front lines of the truck very well, but didn’t do much for the back.

It wasn’t until we looked very hard at the Performance Blue, that we started to appreciate it. It’s easily one of the most complex colors I’ve ever seen on a truck, with its hints of silver. It changes rapidly based on the light outside.

I vote for either Performance or Velocity. Honestly, I dislike all the gray and black colors on these trucks, and I’ve historically bought silver or beige trucks for ease of maintenance. All you ever see is Raptors in different shades of bland, there’s two of them at my work. Be different, get a color, be an individual with taste.

EDIT: You can get every color on a Raptor on any other F-150 or even other vehicles. You can’t get Performance Blue unless it’s a Ford Performance vehicle. The exclusivity helped sway me.

Buy a 2017 or 2018 so you can get lightning blue.

Not sure if it’s a consideration for you, but if you think about resale later on, Lead Foot may be the way to go. I have Lightening Blue, love it, was my second choice color after white, but I bought used so my options were limited. (I was very happy to find blue.)

But, several years ago a buddy bought an Audi R8 in silver. I asked why of all the colors, silver? He said silver is non-offensive and most people shopping used will rule out certain colors, Black, Blue, Red are often on that list. Just about everyone is okay with silver if the car is well taken care of.

I feel like that line of thinking kind of translates to the Raptor. I don’t think anyone would have an issue with a lead foot, but some might shy from the blue because it is a little flashier.

Leadfoot? Are you trying to blend in? Blue? Geez, how many blue vehicles are there out there? C’mon 911, Join the Ruby Red bunch. It’s exclusive and a pretty small cadre! Heck, you’re 911!!!!... gotta show it!!!

Mostly just kidding. Love your choices though admit I’m partial to the Ruby Red...Looks great against the Big Sky of Montana and all the greens and blues we have! To each their own. (But Ruby Red IS the best).
