Best Exterior Color For Lariat Standard Interior

[JohnieM]

Whatever floats your boat. My wife looked at several and came back to the one color that is neutral - Oxford White. My Lariat is Alto Blue and it matches well, but like OP said, it is discontinued.

I know there has been a few very old posts discussing opinions on exterior colors to go along or match the standard Lariat Navy Blue / Desert Brown interior. Sorry for the duplication, but they haven't been updated I a long time. Since the Maverick has been out for 2 full model years, I would bet there are a lot more opinions.

The reason for the new thread is because my order for a MY23 Lariat Hybrid did not get built and I now have a MY24 on order as recommended in the emails from Ford. The issue is, I ordered Alto Blue because I liked the color and also because it was the only color I thought went well with the blue/brown interior. But, for MY24, Ford discontinued offering Alto Blue.

Also, I'm a retired old guy who needs luxury (getting rid of my Lincoln) and I don't need the aggressive look of the BAP or Off-Road packages. The most off-roading I do is parking on the grass sometimes.

So now the dilemma. What color to go with? I currently have a Atlas Blue on my order, but I'm having second thoughts. We saw a Hot Pepper Red the other day and really liked it. Does it go with the Lariat interior? Maybe Carbonized Grey, but there are a lot of Grey and silver trucks/cars out there.

My choices limited, because I don't like the new "flat" colors. They remind me of my dad's old 80's -90's powder blue and green Taurus

I know this is opinion based, but I'm willing to listen.

I have time to change my color, so for now, I'll read your opinions and sit back, chill, and wait for my MY24 Lariat Hybrid to be built.

Thanks

I like and have Black on my Lariat. Match’s well with the interior. Exterior goes well with all the black trim.

With the new colors available I’d say Terrain would go best. Haven’t seen it in person though.

A good friend of mine has a Terrain Lariat on order, I agree, I think it will be a good color with that interior.

I picked cactus gray I like that it looks like a light green then a light gray depending how the sunlight hits it and the fact that it's different

I like it because it doesn't show water spots and just looks cleaner overall for longer. In Montana, that's a nice thing. But I don't like the Oxford white they are offering currently. I had my Escape in Titanium white, which is the metallic white. Seeing those two whites next to each other it's very clear the Oxford white is pretty bland and also likely thinner (which is a very bad thing for the Mavericks already thin paint).

I have never owned any darker than my Carbon Grey Metallic, and had pretty much the same color Tacoma previously. But the Alto Blue would be a nice change if I decided to go dark. Traditionally, I like earth tones, whites, and silvers and the blue's they threw into the Mavericks is a nice separation from the sea of bland interiors on the market.

That said, I think the Hot Pepper Red is by far the best color offered. I'm not a fan of the BAP interior. I do however like the fact they kept the denim interior (non lariats) and the orange stitching for the BAP at least. But black anything just shows every single spec of dirt/imperfection. I'm too simple for that. That sucks because I think the headlight setup is nice, but I also dislike the BAP wheels. So for me - BAP is a pass. It doesn't even change the strip in the middle of the grille.

I think if I was going to do it again, I'd just go for the HP Red and keep the standard Lariat interior because it would allow me to add the Carbonized Grey Painted Aluminum Wheels with the Wildpeaks and keep the 4k Tow.

It just pops. I may revisit this thought towards end of model years.

I also liked the Hot Pepper Red, but wouldn't pay the extra $495 at the time of my order. Velocity Blue was no extra charge.

I think terrain will look really good on this truck.

I love my HPR Lariat, looks great and never heard a negative comment on the colors

Atlas Blue goes well, really like mine in that color, with the standard desert brown coloring. Also has a nice shiny appearance, without the constant dusting of black. - I'm coming up on retirement in a few years, so not far behind, and also wanted several of the niceties of the Lariat Lux combination, with hybrid economy.

Alto blue looks amazing with the Lariat interior. Too bad that they wont offer it in MY2024. Maybe they will bring it back in 2025 if the demand is there.

I chose A-51 as the best match. But think white would be a good one too...preference. A Mav is much better than no Mav

 

[Mav_RICK]

If you really like the Lariat interior I suggest the new Azure Gray. I think it would be the best match hands down. If you can be convinced to go BAP then that opens up several colors.

I feel your pain so glad I got my alto xlt after wait 18 months. Have you seen hot pepper red in person ? It is more of an autumn red.

I have a Lariat in Cactus grey and really like it. I also have a 24 Lariat in order in Terrain but I am trying to see that color on one of the earlier Fords it was used on. Might change back to the CG. Really wanted Hot Pepper Red but I am anal about the finish and didn’t want to be fussing about it at 72 yo this the CG. I also believe no matter what color you will get used to the interior/ exterior quickly! Good luck with whatever you choose!

Well, I understand your dilemma only too well.
I have a 2022 Mav, and I absolutely love it... only about 6500-mi on the odometer today.
Anyway, I must have changed the color-choice on my order at LEAST four times before finally settling on...Oxford White.
It goes with any interior and, with a little cusomizing, can actually look pretty sharp. Plus it's unlikely that you'll ever grow tired of White, unlike many of the other flashier, "fashion colors".

BTW, I wanted the luxuries which were included with the Lariat package, but I could never stand that gawdawful, three-color interior. I think it is just dreadful looking.
So I opted for the XLT. Very pleased with its tasteful, CLOTH, upholstery.

I had ordered and received a 2022 gray XLT ECO and loved it. My wife ordered a 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat and she wanted a white one. It came in the other day and it looks great. I like it more than my gray XLT. I love the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping.
