I like it and I have 2 other true black cars, as well. I have had 2 people come up to me asking if I had it custom painted because they couldn't believe the factory would/could do something that cool.

 

Love it. Just hard to keep clean.

 

The wife has a plain black Taurus X and my truck is tuxedo black. Needless to say she is jealous that the black on my truck is nicer than hers. I love the color and get tons of compliments.

 

My boss has that color on his Ford Flex. It looks good but I agree with the pollen look.

 

I have it and I love it!!! Just my personal opinion.

 

After I hit 200k on my truck I've thought about switching from the tuxedo black to a flat satin black. I've seen a few rods and older trucks with this finish, and it looks pretty tough. No shine, just black.

LOVE IT!! My last 4 trucks have been black & this color is the best. It does changes colors in the sun. When we took delivery it was sunny and made the truck look like a dark grey metallic. My wife thought it was the wrong truck. The metallic gives the paint a deeper look & I think will hide swirls better. I never got the "black shows everything" analogy. Dark colors shows dust more, and light colors show dirt more. To me it's a horse a piece.

 

I have it and really like it especially on sunny days. In the shade it just looks like every other gloss black. I do kinda agree with the pollen look but I'm still pleased. I've also had compliments on the color. This is my first black vehicle and I'm a bit disappointed with how hard it is to keep clean but I kinda had an idea it would be. If I had it to do over, the only other colors I think I would like as much would be the sterling grey or white but the white is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

 

If you want a classy looking truck go with the Tuxedo. Most people do not expect that type of finish on a truck so their first impression is a custom paint job.

Winter snow and salt makes every colour look like crap but in the spring, summer and fall its hard to beat the look of a clean Tuxedo F150.

 

Same here. I thought it was 'normal' black until I got it home and saw it in sunlight the next day.

The flakes definitely help hide the swirls and marring that the paint gets, but you still get the deep shine that you can only get on a black vehicle. It does show dirt more than lighter colors, but the payoff is worth it when it's clean, imo.

 

I've never read a complaint from a TB owner complaining about 'rail dust', either.

My XLT is TB with 'Silver Ingot' lower accent. The silver accent keeps the 4x4 sticker and stock tail lights lookin good.

 

I was at the dealer today and saw a bunch of tuxedo black trucks. They actually looked pretty cool. It's not noticeable until you get fairly close, just looks black from far away.

 

I love mine when its clean! LOL The color is great but it needs a wash every 4 days and I dont have the time. So it gets done every 3-4 weeks. It still looks like new even though i wait that long because i take the necessary steps.

 

Have it on my Raptor. It shows less dirt than pure black and doesn't require that you do an absolutely perfect job of cleaning it for it to look good. So far I'm a fan. It's certainly not white/silver though.

On an FX4 or Platinum, I'd go silver, as those colors work very well with those trims.

 

I just cleaned mine up this afternoon! Tuxedo BLK looks so good right after a good wash! it took a long time to get the chrome wheels to shine after all the snow and salt on the road! I can see why so many go for the black out look!!

One of these days I will figure out posting pics!! LOL
