I ordered my new '06 F-150 Lariat Supercab 4x4 on Friday. I picked Aspen Green over Arizona Beige with Black Captains Chairs. I am now having second thoughts about the primary color. I saw a solid Smokestone today and liked the color, but would still want it with the Arizona Beige bottom and Black interior.

What do you all think? Anybody have some good pictures of either color (preferebly with the two-tone)?

Thanks.

 

I have the Aspen Green w/Arizona Beige and love it. See my gallery.

I like the Aspen Green with the Arizona Beige, but why black interior man? I love the black interior, don't get me wrong but it just doesn't go with the green and Arizona BEIGE.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. I didn't think you could even get that as a color combo.

 

ATCS2004:The pictures look great, thanks.

Reference the black interior, you can get either black or tan with any color in a Lariat. I prefer the black mainly for the ability to keep it looking clean. I have 3 kids that play every sport out there, plus I just like the look of the black better.

The black interior is another reason I am thinking about the Smokestone, I am also thinking that the black would probably look better with it than Aspen Green.

 

JMO...I would never own a black interior again. It shows every bit of lint, hair, dust and whatever else ends up in my truck. The black vinyl and leather tends to fade pretty quick which also looks pretty bad.

I'd do tan in a heartbeat.

But like I said, that's just my opinion.

 

I think black shows the dirt a lot more than the tan. Every flake of dust and every piece of dirt shows on the black. It seems the dirt/dust is always a lighter color, which stands out on black.

 

I'd stick with the green but switch interior colors if it were me. Good luck!

 

I really don't think either of the leather choices are that great just because of how crappy of a leather Ford uses. If I could do it, I'd have my leather replaced right now with all 100% tan leather.

 

I'd go with the tan...just my .02.

BTW, just exactly what part(s) of the "leather" captain chairs in the 2004 Lariat, is actually leather? I've heard many a story.

 

Doug,

Pictures just aren't gonna do it for you. My dealer left me alone with three trucks of the colors I had narrowed down to. It still took me 45 minutes. They definitely looked different than the pictures. I'm sure your dealer will provide trucks of the colors you want (at least the primary and seat colors). Try to look at them under both day and night conditions, some of the colors look very different at night.

Drop the green and go with Smokestone. Its awesome, and is the number one pick on my list for my next truck. With that said, then the black interior will go great with it. Ive seen the Smokestone over AZ Beige with Black int. and it looks nice. A great combo.

And just to deffend the Black...its awesome, it looks great and doesnt show as much dirt and dust as previous posts lead you to believe. Plus, if its dirty...clean it. Just because you cant see it on the Tan, doesnt mean its not dirty.Not that I wouldnt get Tan, because I think that looks real nice as well with the right color truck. Anyway, almost 2 years now and my Black leather looks great. If you need pictures I can take some today and post them for you to see.

The only real leather in an FX4 is the front seat...seat surface and back ( the insert pieces). In the larry'ette I believe its all the seat surfaces and backs on the front and rear seats.

Ditto what Thumper said! I call my seats "pleather."

 

If I didn't get my Copper KR my next choice would have been Black on Black Lariat.

 

nope, its only the inserts in the rear seat of a lariat also. (crew cab only, all supercab back seats are all vinyl)
