i would think that it would get more of the trucks on the road down there in texas and therefore they would get more press for the trucks so they could sell more as i imagine that if they could double the number they could sell they would do it in a minute. your probably right about them not wanting to give anything away though especially if one looks at that catalog of theirs. sarah asked for stuff out of there for christmas and i just laughed. love her to death but i just don't make the cash she does.

as long as the metal flake wasn't too getto looking i imagine it would look nice with the beige 2 tone.

actually now that i've given it more thought, it seems the kr colours are kinda muted and classy looking vs standout/look at me colours like bright red, etc. therefore, i think a nice tri-coat crushed pearl white would be awesome with the beige two tone!!

Guys,

I have to agree that a premium pearl white with either the Harvest Gold or the Arizona Beige high cut line trim would be something I'd love to see and possibly own. Gotta love that white 'cause dirt doesn't show quite as bad as on darker colors. You know, larger spans of time between washings

Later,
DaveMan

oh yeah...love the pearl white...moms cadillac eldorado is pearl white...gorgeous.....it's for sale anyone want it? but seriously though a pearl white KR i think that is something we should ask ford to consider.

Does anyone know if any person at Ford looks at any of these forums and posts.
If not they should be directed to do so.
I think if anyone could tell them what direction to go regarding colors etc. it is the wised-up afficionados on these posts!

my b/f works for ford and is on this and the other sight daily, but of course he has no decision in the future colors of our trucks....i know that ford is aware of this ond the other website. as for wether they have people who are payed to read the posts and take notes from these sights is beyond me...they should though...i would be the first to apply for that job

now they do have this thing called customer feedback and you can give your opinions on pretty much anything...now as if they listen...i would like to hope they do...

I WANT COMPENSATION!! LOL

My opinions are worth money to my clients. (not sure if they are to Ford or not). Let's see, Ford, if you're reading this, you know who I am. Just email me and I'll send you my mailing address. You can just put me on the payroll. I'll be waiting for an email!

ROFL

if ford was listening don't you think that the lightning would be available with a 5 or 6 speed tranny.

as far as the pearl goes, best idea yet for a new color, as a group you may just be able to get ford to go for this.
