I've had almost every color in the rainbow BUT prefer the darker colors. Yeah they're hotter in the summer, and a bitch to keep clean, but they look sharper! Have always ben partial to the reds, thus my 2026 Ruby Red Lariat! :wink:

Oh, a shot a a decade or two ago of working on a black rubber roof Servicing HVAC equipment. And that's up here in the lower Great Lakes region!

It's from Lomax. I've had it ever since the Mav was new. It looks like diamond plate! I love it.

Thanks for the link, I tried but I got nowhere fast trying to find one to fit a Maverick. I have done a lot of online shopping and the way they are selling these is one of the worst marketing jobs that I have seen.

Black absorbs heat, always hotter.
I did a real dumbass one time,I paid $200 extra on a D21 Nissan Xcab to get "cherry pearl" rather then black,that's one reason I bought the "graphite" Maverick,said to myself will never let preferred color cost me again.

I do try to avoid black interiors. They can get really hot here in the south.
For the exterior, no flashy colors and it must look good with the interior.

I once bought a new Smurf Blue sedan because it couldn’t be sold. Listed at $22k, got it for $14.6k.
In my case, saving bunches made me colorblind… or maybe I was seeing green 💸! The salesman said for that much money… just paint it (never did). Ford Contour SVT manual if you’re curious.

Just picked up my Azure gray Tremor, love the color. Although I just retired and have plenty of time to keep it clean I still hate washing vehicles and this color hides it well. But now that I have the Tremor not sure I will be running through normal car washes because of the graphics and brush less never do a good job. I have created my own dilemma but don't care, love the truck LOL

I just wanted to take a look, the Lomax site gives a 404 on the Pro series, and Amazon doesn't seem to list anything in the Lomax Pro series, which is the diamond plate, according to the Lomax site.
I wonder if they stopped producing it and haven't updated the website yet...

Yeah, this phenomenon is what made me hesitant to get the BAP with the black interior. Decided it didn't matter that much, and it hasn't; of course, I'm not in the desert or Florida.
That being said, my white mustang has a black interior and when stopped with the top down on a sunny day it's like being a turkey in a roasting pan.

Best color I've owned is black. Worst color is also black. I'm a silver guy now.

No....not a bit, as long as it's Oxford white with a gray interior. 🤣
Space white for the few who are particular. 😞. Almost got weight, but settled on space White, and don’t regret it one bit. Particularly if it turns into a rare color that gets high demand at time of resale.

The factory graphics will be fine going through a car wash.

I really didn't have a color choice, it was a St. Judes prize. But I do love it.
