The more photos the better, if anyone can take some. However, I am sold on SQ. I thought initially that was my color, then I waivered, but I am locked back in now.

There’s no green and when I walked around the truck I saw shades of gray, blue, and black. It’s a very hard color to describe Other than to say it looks really good. I drove an hour just to look at the truck and it was well worth it because after I order mine I know I’ll be one of the few that have one in SQ.
I had an opportunity to test drive a SQ Platinum late this afternoon. I saw grays, blues, and a hint of a soft lavender. There were no metallic flecks whatsoever. It had a mirror-like finish.

It was a good deal lighter than the AMB I recently saw but darker and richer in person than the SQ’s I’ve seen on YouTube and the Ford Web Site. My decision is made!

Sweet and I really like the size of the garage.
The F150 fits with plenty of room to spare in the front and back.

I’m more and more happy with my SQ choice since the real life pics. I think it’s unique and classy.
Thanks for the pics.

Thank you for the response... I have a deal on one a couple hours away and another just arrived to a local dealer, so I'll put my eyes on it tomorrow most likely.. From the photos I've seen it goes really well with the chrome package on the Lariat..
The one I looked at was a Lariat with chrome and was very nice. I’m sure you’ll like it chrome. I’m old school when every car and truck had chrome but I haven’t ruled out that I may buy a Platinum.

I'm happy that I choose & staying with the SQ color. I like a mirror finish (Clearcoat). I also been reading online the quality products that will ensure the finsh keeps a water-mirror effect.

I plan to add a ceramic coating and a topcoat, to protect the finish for the long term.

But first, I’ll need to order my vehicle, wait weeks or months for delivery, and wait for the warmer weather to return.

Waiting ... it’s what members of this Forum do best!

Picked her up Tuesday. EB 3.5, Smoked Quartz, on BFG KO2 285/65r20.

Tires Dont rub at all even without a level kit installed (apparently 6 weeks out on these). Got a Backflip installed as well yesterday. So far a great truck. Upgraded from 2019 Ram Limited 1500

My dealer got in a Smoked Quartz Platinum and an AMB King Ranch day before yesterday so I went down there this morning and the Smoked Quartz had already been sold and was gone. I did look at the AMB and I liked it but not enough to want that color. The interior of the King Ranch was very impressive, much better than the pictures or videos that I've seen. I still want to look at the Carmelo interior of the Platinum before I made a decision. I was disappointed not being able to see the SQ.
My dealer received a King Ranch a couple of days ago and I got to see it today. Man, I am in LOVE with that interior! I could not get over how beautiful the inside of that truck is!

That looks amazing! Are you going to get the leveling kit or just leave it like this? Anyone have an idea of how big you can go without rubbing on the leveling kit?

Sweet and I really like the size of the garage.
The F150 fits with plenty of room to spare in the front and back.
What I would give for that amount of space in the garage. I am going to be shoehorning the truck into my current garage with about 8.3" to spare. I don't live in particularly small home, why the builder went so shallow, I will never know.

My wife is skeptical about fitting it. It is her only concern with ordering one. By the time I get it, I will have made enough space and likely padded the rear wall to get it snug as a bug in a rug.
