Ordering a hybrid Lariat from my local place on X-plan and beating myself up on colors. First of all, I drive 700+ miles a week and want something fairly easy to maintain and hide dirt. My current 24 EB is Terrain and isn't terrible except for the bugs on the front.

No white - fleet truck
Black/Carb gray - impossible to keep looking clean
Terrain - stays clean, but meh
Silver - silver vehicles everywhere
HPR - like this, but I'm 55 yo lol
HPR. HPR…. HPR. Pay the extra and you will not look back.

i get tons of compliments on mine all the time…


I am so close to 70 that I can grab it with a short cane.

DO HPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not into Altas blue, wish velocity was still around
Cactus gray- in the running but see a lot in this color
Azure gray- thinking about this and have seen it on a bronco sport, but not sure

And I think trying to sync up a good combo with the interior options is also difficult. Was thinking BAP, but don't like the matte wheels. So desert brown and? I need help and maybe pics :)
I had the same struggle and changed colors once, almost twice lol.

HPR!

Brown always looks like diaper doo doo. White is a fleet truck, but you do not see dirt as well. Black is obviously out. Silver and grey hide the dirt the best. Have a beer and flip some coins.

I am 58 and drive a 22 xl 2.0 eco in shadow black. Black looks great when clean, being retired i have time to hand wash every week or so. That being said i ordered a 23 xl hybrid in hot pepper red that turned in to a 24 xl hybrid in hpr when it came in the wife decided she wanted it. She is driving it ,loves it and is getting complements on it.

HPR 👍 out of all the colors it seems to have the most variance in different lighting conditions, which is awesome! If it wasn't for the discontinued cyber orange I would have been HPR all day

Interior - Personally I was so tired of black or near black interiors that I love the two-tone standard Lariat interior.

As for color, seldom do people consider vehicle color as a safety issue. Years ago when I was car shopping, I picked up a brochure at the Mercedes dealer. It had a section on perceptibity of colors in low-light conditions.

As you might guess, silver, silver blue metallic, gray, dark gray metallic etc. were nearly imperceptible in low-light and hazy conditions.

Yellow, white, red were the most perceptible colors. Do your own "test" on your drive to work. Notice what colors stand out against the dark or gray pavement and at dusk. This is really important if you drive a lot of two lane country roads.

I also consider heat to be a factor. Black and dark colors absorb the rays, lighter colors and light metallics reflect to a greater extent and are cooler.

That said, I think the Mav looks terrific in Iconic Silver.

You will never regret the Hot Pepper Red. Two years later it sti!l looks factory new and people comments about the color all the time.

Well for me, I wanted to keep all my electrical and Hybrid components as cool as possible under the hot sun and driveway. Only white will do that and there's a good reason fleet vehicles are white. They simply last longer by deflecting at least some radiation.

My Oxford White is one Etsy decal away from loosing the "fleet" look. Doesn't even look fleet now. Summer is a breeze in OW. In the winter, I miss the heating but only a little bit.

If you have a garage, HOT PEPPER RED or any of the others will do great in the looks dept. HPR is my favorite.

In the pic below, Maverick can record temps from 100-120 F in June/July. Likely 120+ if it was dark paint.

Cactus gray popularity is forced by few XL color options. Excluding black/white/premium, the only option on XL is cactus gray and atlas blue. I originally wanted carbon gray, but happy with cactus gray. The light color interior headliner goes well with the cactus gray.

I'm kinda partial to the Terrain color I like how it looks different depending on the amount of light,but you are 1000% correct on the bugs on the front bumper such a PIA😂 HPR would probably be the go to with a nice dark tint ( and there's nothing wrong with your OUR age😉)
