Ok, I actually scheduled a test drive tomorrow on a Marsh Gray that's about 3k under MSRP. I had my eye on a Shelter Green at a different dealer still in transit. I asked about the ETA on the Shelter Green and all he said was if the other one was under MSRP to jump on it. I was really hoping to check out both in daylight before doing anything, but looks like the dealer with the Green won't budge.
What color do you guys like?

Shelter Green.

You're saying the dealer with the SGM I transit won't budge from sticker? If add on fees aren't ridiculous, work them for some free accessories, and you might have a good deal.

Got it $1k under sticker and the dealer added a spray in liner at no cost.

Neither. But between the two, if you are on top of cleaning and don’t care that scratches show, shelter green.

Yeah, I was sort of testing him to see his response, while seeing when I might be able to check out the green, but his short reply tells the story.

Are you saying the marsh gray is easier to keep clean looking? I'm into that.

Funny how the Marsh Grey grows on you. Now that I have it, along with the BAP it really highlights that color. Clear coat on shelter green would be more upkeep, to keep shiny.

I really wanted the shelter green, but my dealer couldn’t find one. They got me a marsh gray $2k under MSRP though. I’m very happy with my choice on color. Marsh gray is closer to olive drab green

The sticker says Shelter Green, not Shelter Green Metallic. Is there a difference?

3k under MSRP OR 3k under THEIR price...? When I bought my 24 it was hard to find a dealership willing to sell it at MSRP (had to go 500 miles away). Remember that MSRP is set by ford and not the dealership. Go onto ford and build that exact truck and that is the MSRP and only pay that number. MSRP and window sticker at the dealership are not the same thing. I used to sell cars and know alot of people DIDN'T know the difference. If that Marsh grey is really 3k under MSRP and new I would go with it. I have a shelter green but that Marsh would be my 2nd choice.
Basically "Sticker" is what a dealer wants to sell the vehicle at. MSRP is what FORD says the price should be. Maybe that will help you decided. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure the Shelter Green is the only option and is a green and gold metal flake which looks great in the sunshine. I get a lot of of admiring compliments on the color! I would check the T&Cs of the 3K under invoice. Most are at list with some 5-10K above sticker.

T&C's? I compared sticker to sticker, the only differences are mud flaps and wheel lock kit on the green. The difference is stickers is $220. The difference in dealer price is 62599 for the green, 59015 for the gray. Those include processing fees on both.
