Rarely see them here, but I went with desert sand as the area in Fl I live in is a lot of dirt (sand) roads. If it weren’t for my black appearance package, the truck would never show dirt!
My red truck and car looked dirty immediately after getting washed just from the traffic stirring up the dust on my road.

Carbonized gray is straight up gray and boring. At least the magnetic gray on my 2019 had some character. Not a fan of the Sand but between the 2 it's better. However Marsh Gray on my 25 looks better everyday. Even my wife thinks so and she initially didn't like it.

For some reason, I’ve never gone much for the beige-y colors. And having had Carbobized Gray on F150, it’s not a bad color but common. If I was ordering I’d do Ruby Red or Atlas Blue. But that’s just me… I think I’d echo the comment to go with Sand so it’s not as common. As long as you are getting your truck, you can’t choose wrong!!!

I didn't have a doubt regarding color.....I wanted Ruby Red and I love it. It's not common and looks great with the dark wheels and trim.


For the OP, between the Gray and Desert Sand, as much as I like Gray, I'd lean towards the Sand. It looks good with the black trim and isn't as common. Either way, you'll enjoy your truck!! :like:

I have one
Saw a desert sand ranger on a road trip in Nevada. It was a pretty sweet color. I have a cactus gray one but would seriously consider this color.
