Boudoir Red?

Administrator

I know we kid about the red interiors, which Dad's truck has, as being "Boudoir Red". I saw the pic below on FB and realized that our red isn't quite the same color, so maybe ours isn't Boudoir?

My dad's 1991, 1995, and 1987 trucks all had the same red interior. It might be why I don't care for it much, I'm simply tired of it after growing up with it.

I also had a buddy in high school with an 85 F150 Lariat that had the same red interior.

Not to be a smartass, but...

1984 - 1987 = Canyon Red interior
1988 - 1993 = Scarlet Red interior
1994 - 1997 = Ruby Red

And that is off of memory. I know that because I wanted to change the fabric pattern in my 1985 model a few years ago when I got my 1987 - 1991 style seat - but I wanted to keep the same shade of red to match the rest of my interior. Canyon Red is a dark red/brown shade, whereas the later Scarlet Red was a bit brighter and had more purple in it. And Ruby Red looks like maroon/burgundy.

(After looking at all of the fabric patterns from 1984 - 1987, I settled on the pattern from a 1987 truck, by the way.)

Canyon Red (1984 - 1987):

Scarlet Red (1988 - 1993):
