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.
