All my previous Ford trucks have been dark blue metallic (3) with the exception of a white '91 Ranger S/Cab which I bought used.
I purposely held out on special ordering a 2019 with hopes that Ford would feature a dark blue for the 2020 models, no such luck.
So I went the complete opposite of the color spectrum and sprung for a '20 S/Cab done in Rapid Red Tri-coat, I like it and have had many compliments on it.
A buddy of mine who owns a body shop here told me that tri-coat hues are difficult to match for touch ups, he also said that quad-coats are downright impossible. He explained the painting process to me, no wonder Ford charges extra for tri-coat colors.
