That's what I have. We like it quite a lot and I've gotten compliments from strangers. I've never seen another one in the wild though. Maybe they only made one.

It's a subtle gold. I was worried that it'd be "too" gold, if you know what I mean. But it's not. When we first saw it across the lot on the day we picked it up I thought, wait, that's pearl white, or something. But as we got closer it was just a nice subtle gold.

count me. same as your colors, limited, AWD, nav. Love it.

I understand from other sources that this color will not be offered on the 12.

I've seen the Gold color and it looks very nice.

I've seen this color too. Very nice. It's kind of between having a white car (on this lightest range) to a silver car (being the dark end of the range). Not too gold and not too white.

They build another one as well, cuz i have one. I like the color, doesn't show dirt as bad as black or white.

I saw one a few months back at a dealer in Elkton MD. It was way cooler than I had expected. I wasn't even going there to check out that particular car but it caught my eye. I even took a pic of it on my phone but don't think I have it anymore. I haven't seen one on the road and also don't think I've seen the same color on a different vehicle. Definitely unique IMO. I'd describe it as a lighter champagne color. I also heard from the salesman I've been working with that for 2012 they may change its name to something else (maybe ginger ale) but he thinks the color may be the same/similar.

Pics would b nice.

Pics would b nice.

I'm away until Sunday (without the EX) but if no one has posted a photo by then I'll take a couple for you and post them.

I checked my phone, the pic of the gold leaf is gone...still have sterling grey (the one on the way to me any day now) and silver pics (a friend's) if anyone would like to see them. Sorry. IMO it's the type of color you have to see in person unfortunately. I would also guess that it looks slightly different during the day than at night. I also agree with another poster that it's not a normal gold as you see on many cars-definitely unique.

I might be able to get some after work today, there is one at a business up the road. (If they don't think I'm stalking someone)

I like it- it's a very faint gold color, like watered down ginger ale. I like the color a lot...

 

[Abrego702]

I went with the sterling grey ex, but I also like the gold color. It's was a hard desicion to make. Love the black but already own a black f150.

Better later than never. Here's my Gold Leaf XLT on a cloudy morning:

Better than me- I've driven by that place 4 times and the thing is always gone!

Looks nice, I dig the color!

 

[Abrego702]

Defenetly a nice looking explorer there stunnedmonkey. Also digging the color.
