Blue is awesome, well maybe I'm baised, lol. I love my 2017 supercab lighting blue. Next would have been ruby red. Have fun with the truck, try to not push to hard on the skinny pedal. Its a constant battle for me.

Where did you get it? I found a 2017 and have the same issue with the recall so I'll have to wait. However, I can not find another like it as a 2018 (I only want the 802a package and not the sun roof). I love the blue, but decided to get the metallic grey when I saw it in person - I figure it will be easier to maintain.

I LOVED the blue, and truly considered it really hard - I was just afraid I would get bored with the blue over time. However, each time I see a blue I think...damn that looks good. Nice choice!

Congrats CanuckRaptor :happy160:
I've had mine for 8 months and I'm still happy with my choice of lightning blue. My last 14 vehicles have been black and I still have 2 of them. I'm getting too lazy in my old age to keep 3 black vehicles looking good. Lightning blue has been much easier for me to maintain. It hides some light scratches and swirls that black doesn't hide.

Great looking truck. I would have given blue a chance but have a in law that lives near me with a regular F150 in that color so that wasn't happening.

I bought mine from Erinwood Ford in Mississauga Canada. Ask for Matthew Trueman, he's one of the best car sales person I've met, extremely helpful.

Thanks guys. I'm really glad I ended up with the blue, got real lucky dealer switched me from a 17 to 18', or else i'd be with the black now. And yes, I hear black gets very hot in the summer. However, I don't think any color is a "bad" color for this truck.

Congrats on a great truck and a great deal. Im still a new owner (less than one month, first Raptor) and I too am crazy about this truck. It's amazing how many people comment on it.

As others have said they, they do not come in a bad color.
