I'm having trouble picking a color too. Black, Smoked Quartz and AMB are too dark. Oxford white is too boring. Star White is out because the wife thinks the color is bad luck. We both don't care for Ice Blue Silver. I don't like Stone Grey or Carbonized Grey with the Lariat wheels.

That leaves:
Atlas Blue
Iconic Silver
Rapid Red

Out of those 3, IMO Rapid Red looks the best. But I've had 4 red vehicles in a row previously, including a Ruby Red and Rapid Red truck. I want to try a different color, but Rapid Red is hard to say no too when it's glowing in the sunlight.
I love the ruby red and always wanted it. Do you think rapid red looks better?

I like Rapid over Ruby because it isn't as dark.
Definitely prefer the Rapid Red over the Ruby Red (most all of my trucks have been red) but would have loved the option of Race Red.

Yes, I went with Rapid Red for my order.

My wife absolutely loves Race Red, but couldn't talk me into getting it with my 2021 Lariat. I wanted power running boards, and I couldn't watch it be built if it was assembled in Kansas City. I would have chose it if was available on the Lightning though.

I prefer ruby red I think because it is darker. I have a strong dislike of race red it is too bright and plain for me.

I would have ordered Ruby Red too. The current red has too many looks.

Yeah the fleet guy told me rims only and a salesman told me rims tires and a lift so I took that with a grain of salt.

2022 Lightning (Ordered 6/19, delivered 10/28/22)
FWIW...the "Reservations and Orders" page on Ford.com is NOT loading for me this morning.
(Its says "something went wrong) (As of 830a ET)

I *can* get into other sections of the page--owners section, etc.

Could it possibly be Ford is loading wave 7 invites this morning? Still no email but as we've seen sometimes those can lag.

<fingers crossed>

I think you are the only person I have ever seen that called Race Red "plain. The darker reds were nice when they first came out, but that is all you see these days and they just blend in with the crowd of blah car colors.

I want a color that lets me instantly identify my car in a parking lot from 500+ ft. away.
