Within the last decade, Ford has brought the F-150 to the forefront of technology, power, towing, and
sophistication among all half-ton pickups. Each model gives enthusiasts a wide range of options to
fit their lifestyle, such as engine options, including the EcoBoost and Coyote, as well as a host of
technological advances. This innovation couldn't be more accurate than when the F-150 Raptor was
launched back in 2010. It was the first of its kind in the marketplace to offer Baja trophy truck
capability without sacrificing the proper use of a daily driven truck. Since then, the F-150 has even
further surged to being the best overall half-ton pickup amongst its Chevrolet and Ram counterparts! Like the Mustang, an F-150 color is always a
considerable part of the buying process for every potential
buyer. During the two generations between 2011-2020, there have been a fantastic amount of color options
to every trim level and model. This guide will show you everything you need to know to pick the right
color for your next F-150 or if you just need to know the correct paint code to fix those annoying rock
chips.
In 2011, both the Mustang and F-150 were about to receive the most revolutionary engines in modern Ford
history. Both the EcoBoost and
Coyote engine revolutionized the capability of what an F-150 could be.
Ford wanted to ensure that the Mustang wouldn't just be the complete center of attention. After two
years into this generation of F150, Ford engineers knew they would have to spice things up to invigorate
potential buyers, To do this, Ford offered a wide variety of color options and models to separate them
from one another. Models like the XLT and Lariat received specific colors to go with the Sport Addition Package to give the
F-150 some severe style to go hand in hand with all the muscle underneath the hood. Colors like White
Platinum Pearl were a first for an F-150 to receive a triple-stage paint to give the F-150 not only a
fantastic finish but classy styling to go with the timeless design. Below you will find a chart
with everything you need to choose the right paint color for your 2011-2014 F150, even if you are just
looking to
grab a bottle of touch paint or needing to a complete paint job!
If you talk to any Ford enthusiast, they will tell you that 2015 was one of the most significant years
in modern Ford history. Both the F-150 and Mustang would receive a completely new design to enter the
storied history of both lineups. For the first time in the forty-plus years of the F150, it would
receive a military-grade aluminum-alloy body instead of an all-steel body. With a completely new design,
larger overall footprint, and modern styling, this generation of F-150 is the most technologically
advanced Ford truck to date! To aid in all of this modern sophistication and brute muscle, Ford designers thought it would be a great
idea to span the color pallette much further than previous years. Colors like Avalanche Gray on the 2017
Raptor which looks like the USS Missouri is coming at you or how Ruby Red speaks of a timeless color
with class and sophistication. Ford didn't just elevate the F-150 to the best truck in the marketplace,
it launched into a class of luxury and elegance! Below you will find a complete chart of all colors within the 2015-2017 Ford F-150 model years. Coming into the 2018 model year, Ford was looking to take the F-150 up a notch to continue its legacy of
being the best selling half-ton pickup in the automotive industry. Reaching its halfway point within the
current generation, Ford engineers needed to maintain strides they had made in the previous three
years to keep the F150 on top of its competition. F-150 engineers had a clear mission to keep this
going, by introducing a thoroughly revised front fascia, a plethora of front grille options, all-new
colors, SYNC 3, adding the Limited model back in the lineup, and updating drivetrain options, this
helped the F-150 remain the most popular truck in America! One of the biggest benefactors to helping this trend continue, Ford designers widened the color palette
even further than in previous years. Below you will find every color offered between the 2018-2020 model
years. Everyone at Steeda is looking forward to seeing the offerings of colors that come in the 2021 Ford F-150
in the coming year. It will be exciting to see what Ford has up their sleeve next! For the 2021 and 2022 model years, the F-150 recieved a major facelift and with it new tech upgrades.
This generation of the F-150 was designed to be more usable in every facet of daily life as a vehicle,
workspace, and usable tool at the work site. The F-150 retains its rugged exterior and improves the
interior to a near-luxury-automaker style. With the external weight bearing meter as a new feature, Ford
made it clear that the F-150 is still very much a heavy-duty work vehicle while it improves its already
upscale interior. Along with the all-new fully electric Lightning, the F-150 remains as a tool for every
person. These features all work together to keep the truck's title of most popular truck in
America. With the return of the Raptor for it's 3rd generation and the introduction of the Lightning, the color
pallette continues to expand for the F-150. While some colors are leaving, some new colors are available
for the first time on the vehicle. Image Credit: Ford Motor Company2011-2022 Ford F-150 Paint Colors & Codes
