Great pic. Shows blue on curvatures but rest still looks black to me.
That is very much a blue truck. Honestly not sure what you are seeing here. I wouldn’t say it’s black at all, not one bit.

Looks like the FX4 on the right is a decent bit taller than the normal 4x4 in the middle, espcailly when looking at the top of the tailgate. Is that the case or is it just the angle of this picture?
You're exactly right... Good eye. It was noticeably taller standing next to them as well. I first noticed how much higher the running board was on FX4 on the right, then did a rough measure test using my leg against the bumper of each one, and the one on the right was a good 1.5" taller than the middle one. Rims/tires were different, so that's what I'm attributing it to. Still, was surprised.

Ah that would make sense if the tire/rims were different, thanks! Do you recall if they we’re they both the same trims?

Well it’s a darker blue than I was wanting. I was hoping for a blue like the Blue Jeans blue. I’ll take the $12k I saved by downsizing from the AMB Limited to a loaded Rapid Red Lariot and apply it to the 2021 Corvette that I also have ordered in Elkhart Lake Blue. Red truck Blue Vette.

Hi Dan, same with me, all my trucks over 20 years have been red and it’s time for a change. The dealer has one in stock that is AMB, so I’m going up in the morning to see it in person before I order.

I can relate. I chose Antimatter Blue mostly because it wasn't red, the color of my Jeep gladiator I was trading in. Nothing wrong with red, but change is good. I do like the color though. Had a Kona Blue Mustang in '12 and the antimatter reminds me a little of that but darker. Color shifts toward Black in low light and, but I think it's really sharp in bright sun.

Was coming from a Black Camaro and luckily went to a dealer to view the AMB as really wanted a nice deep blue.... no way.... ended up with a Lead Foot Raptor.... color looks really good on the Raptor

Finally laid eyes on a 2021 F250 in Antimatter Blue. It is BLACK unless you shine a bright light on it. Then you see blue metallic color. So 95% of the truck will always look black. I had read similar comments but wanted to wait and see for myself. It was all true unfortunately. Cancelling order for Limited and placing order for Lariot Sport in hopes that it will show up before next Christmas. If you are wanting a BLUE truck don’t pick Antimatter Blue.
Your are somewhat right !
