I like the Magma Red. I wanted the bronze/dark red they had on the 15's with the Sport Package. One wasn't available when I bought mine. Looks like they sell the "Special Edition" with the Magma Red.

That Magma Red looks like a sweet color. Leadfoot almost looks like Lithium Grey to me.

I want a F-150 so bad! I need to stop looking at this thread lol

Magma to me is like an enhanced Kodiak Brown. Probably best to describe it as a rootbeer color. I have a Magma Red w/ Stone King Ranch that is due in and that should look pretty nice.

Leadfoot and Lithium look very similar in sunlight but for some reason in darker light the Leadfoot looks much darker. We have this one parked in the showroom with the Stealth Grey Focus RS and the Focus almost had a purple hue in it compared to the Leadfoot.

Leadfoot is butt ugly to me. Looks like Buick Dove Gray to me.

This. I love most of Ford's greys but that is hideous.

Yeah, it's not everyones cup of tea, but we have a lot of demand for Lithium/Leadfoot.

Interesting on the Magma red, from the pictures I have seen my first thought was it was similar to Lava Red from the 2012 Mustang

Looks good, those little vents in the headlights look like they're begging for spot beams

edit: and damn that Magma does look promising especially with whatever appearance package this is

That is the XLT Special Edition package. The Lariat SE package has a red and white stripe next to the flat black stripe.

This is pretty much the one you pictured in person:

It is so dark, that it looks almost black. Could be just the camera used in the video too.

Can you do one with the lariat sport package? It's the 3 bar.

That's easy. Seems like C&D already had one :p

From what I see, just general 15-17 observation vs 18, looks like the grille surround is thinned out, and the grille itself is taller and more of an oval to kinda look like the Super Dooty. 15-17 was more like the "bull snout," that I think they used to call it. The center section of the bumper is shortened to make up for the grille change. The center bar is thicker, and now goes all the way across into the headlights where 15-17 the bar was only present on the headlights. Then the headlights themselves, at least on the front, are stretched and thinned out on the protruding parts. The side of the headlights looks the same. The hood looks the same.

If there isn't any mounting differences, I'm wondering if it is possible to do a front end swap.
