Guard F-150 Spotting Finally

[Acob720]

Finally found an actual example of Guard. Not the way I would equip it, but at least it gives an idea of color!!!

Nope. Actually found it on Autotrader. Looks like Kentucky or something.

I have noticed that Trucks with the 18" Chrome wheels are carrying Michelin tires on more than 1 truck. But Sport package and other FX4 18" wheels are carrying Goodyear.

So will someone please give a description of this color

I love that color but you can't get sport appearance pkg which seems to be the only way to get black interior.

Totally. I made the opposite decision when I ordered. Decided Guard was my #1 appearance MUST have!

It’s a damned shame Ford doesn’t let you get this color, nor AMB, on the trucks equipped with the Sport package. Honest to Pete, their packaging restrictions are frustrating.

Had a guard mustang. Would love it on my next truck, but alas it's not available with sport package. Or powerboost.

It's a dark green. Except it's also gray/silver.

I couldn't agree with you more, not understanding this. In the 2020 sport appearance pkg there was red in the interior, so certain colors (ie green) would've looked off.

Correct me if I'm wrong but on an XLT Sport there isn't any red in the interior.

There is Red on all of their Bed decals! . I actually work in the automotive product marketing industry for another brand and I can tell you that most of the time, Green exteriors are just treated like "bastard children". Simply put, the model mix/demand is never really enough to justify, but the following is a cult. Literally it goes like this, offer it when possible, kill it just as quickly as you offered it.

My F-150 the day I signed for it next to my Taco I traded for it. My Taco was special ordered with a 6 spd man and the wheels. I sure miss rowing my own gears. This picture doesn't do the Green justice.

I’m not sure how to get the OWL Michelin’s, but I have seen them on a few occasions on F-150s including the day I ordered my 2021.

***Update: This truck was a base 500A Lariat. It had “275/65R/18 OWL” listed for the tires.

The $470 is for the 3.55 e-lock.
