Cover it with snow, then it will look less white. The 2023 lightning color pallet is various shades of white/gray/black and red.

It definitely looks Grey to me. I also had it sitting next to my old white truck...that is probably why I can't see it as white now.

oh believe me, I’ve tried to figure out how to allow someone else to buy it without me paying for sales tax and fees. Not because of the color though.

if anyone lives in Utah there is likely going to be a new F150 Lightning Lariat ER for sale in American Fork today.

It's crazy how different it looks in different context.

Avalanche GT350 w/ White Stripes:

Mental note: If purchasing avalanche colored vehicle, must add white racing stripes. Are there any lightning pictures with racing stripes?
It reminds me of Volvo's glacier silver. It looks white, unless it is parked next to a real white car or covered in snow.

similar issue with antimatter blue. I was interested until I saw two ICE F-150's parked at a dealer side by side, one antimatter blue, the other black. It was a cloudy day and from 30ft away I couldn't tell the difference. Others have said that a sunny day makes a difference. either way, I crossed it off my list. And what's up with 4 shades of gray out of 10 total colors? sigh... I ordered Iconic Silver

I decided not to go through with the purchase. I asked for a refund of my order deposit and hopefully someone in the area will be ecstatic to pay $100,000 for a brand new Lightning.

I have a 23 Lightning Lariat in Avalance...I agree, was hoping the color would be a slightly darker grey. Its definitely a cool color though and its growing on me and I've received a lot of compliments on the color actually.

Curious why you decided to cancel the order if not the color?

What made you decide to pass after 1.5 years of waiting? My build week is this January 9th, and I also chose the Avalanche color.

Additionally, is it possible that this year's version of Avalanche is lighter than the version we saw in previous years?
