I don't know why, but it looks somewhat "muted" in those pics; I thought the Race Red was quite striking in person, so maybe all the black trim tones it down on the Raptor. But I agree, I like the blue more as well.

I agree but it's the lighting. It looks to be really sunny during those pictures. See Race Red at dusk and it'll probably pop like we know Race Red to do.

I've found that Race Red is very tough to photograph, especially in direct sunlight.

Agreed, very sunny and snow on the ground. Here is another set of pictures with different lighting that looks much darker.

one of the reasons i don't like the race red is it looks different in sunlight and low light. in the sun it's almost has a orange to it and in low light it has a deeper red look to it. like in the other pics posted. the pics i took look just like it did in person.

Nice truck. But after owning a red truck for the past 10 yrs. prior to my current truck, I began to dislike the color red.

I like it, especially without all of the graphics but I still can't get used to the grill. If they made a cool aftermarket grill and changed the rims, I would be in the market. That and if I came into a boat load of cash.
