It's an 08 with WS (White Suede) ext code, but I can not seem to find the bumper and plastic trim color. It's kind of goldish.

Friend is certain it's arizona beige, same as his 05 f-150 fender and bumper trim, but I want to make sure.

Thanks

Sounds simple enough, but I could certainly be missing something...
I attached the tag for you guys.

The rest of the codes don't come up with any Ford colors.
The 5W comes up as medium vaquero glow. That's the color of the seats, because this is an example I found and it's not the molding.

Miekk, the King Ranch has "Pueblo Gold" accent color, paint code "G3".

Just an FYI, the "5W" is interior trim, which on the King Ranch Expy is Charcoal Black trim with Chaparral Leather seats. Don't know where you got the "medium vaquero glow" thing from.

Thanks!

How would I have known it was G3?
And Ford has a paint code for 5W which is a color from 79' like the pick of the fox.

I looked up the various paint codes for 2008MY Expeditions and cross checked the sales brochue which touts the King Ranch features "Pueblo Gold Accents".
Ford changes the exterior and interior paint codes every so often so it's important to make sure you use the code for that model year and vehicle.

According to the Ford Paint Code Chart:
"W" for a 2008 Expedition is "Charcoal Black" but on an F150 of the same year its "Tan Light Parchment".
The "Arizona Beige" on the F150 ended in 2006 then it went to "Vintage Copper". Only the Super Duy still used Arizona Beige in 2007.
Starting in 2011 the King Ranch and Eddie Bauer ( now XLT Premium ) now have a different "Gold" accent called, "Pale Adobe Metallic".

It gets confusing.
