probowler Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The amount of grays and silvers being ordered is honestly kind of disgusting. My local ford has 7 or 8 babies on the way, and 4 of them are gray. 1 is white, and the others are black. Totally garbage, non-existent color selection.

IIRC (can’t look at the overall data right now as I’m on my phone) and just glancing at my charts there, Area 51 was either the most or 2nd most popular choice for 6g’s orders. The few BSs I’ve seen have been Area 51. I want to like the color more than I do.....it’s nice, just doesn’t grab me. And seeing the stats, I like that I went with a less popular color in VB. 2 minutes ago, akirby said: Why is it disgusting?

I’m surprised so many are ordering the grays, but I guess if there aren’t other options that’s what they go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The big question is whether people are ordering grays because they want to or whether its a color they can live with. The value in customer feedback will drive Ford but only if there's strong response for a missing color or other option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This right here. If I was ordering a bronco now, the only colors I would look at would be Oxford white, carbonized gray, iconic silver, shadow black, or velocity blue. Those are the colors that work best with any of the interior color options and trim colors. I for example really like the gray and blue cloth interior on the outer banks, but that would look pretty stupid with red exterior. It would however look great with carbonized gray. my hope is that ford cleans up the interiors for MY 22 or 23 and offers simple interiors in gray, black or tan on all trims. The higher trims can still get the blue interiors if they want. Keep the crazy camo and bright colors for special editions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except subtract velocity blue from the list on Badlands (those orange accents, yuck). I can live with the “grabber blue”accents in roast/black interior and VB exterior on the Outer Banks. Is it ideal? No, but I think the VB exterior will complement the interior somewhat. Edited March 11, 2021 by 02MustangGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife has had a Silver Aviator and a Luxe metallic mkx. We like grey. Carbonized grey and cactus grey are stunning on Bronco and Bronco Sport.

I kind of get what they were going for, but the execution is lacking. The blue accents look great when matched with a full-on blue interior, and that sexy velocity blue paint job... but less so when it's surrounded by black or you get random red interior bits on your blue bronco. My favorite interior is actually the blue one, but I also want a red bronco... and that just won't be a good match ? Now if they eventually add a red interior version to match the red paint jobs, i'll be very content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I like the blue interior as well, but deciding on a decent exterior match other the gray/silver/white proved difficult. I settled on Roast/Black interior and honestly I think it look fantastic with velocity blue. I wanted something different in the garage considering we have owned silvers, whites, grays, and reds throughout the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is the gray trim. I wish I had the glossy Piano black accents from the Limited. I'm sitting at home right now snowed in. The snow was too much for it and my stupid highway tires. Really wishing I had a 2020 Bronco Sasquatch right about now ? At least I got the day off from work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mustang was daily driven on Blizzaks during winter months for a few years. Obviously not the same climate (or snow depth) as you see up there, but the right tires made it less of a struggle. I’m hoping we have seen the last of the snow for the season here in central Indiana. It was 65 degrees at 5am today (anomaly but still).

I was surprised to see such a high take rate on them with custom orders, though. I know there's been a lot of demand for a green and brown at 6g......how many would follow through on an order of those colors, though, I don't know.

I agree most buy from lots so small/mid dealers order what they will most commonly sell or people will settle for and trade with a larger dealer for a more rare color if a customer wants something specific. I probably would have gone green had it been available in either British Racing or Army, so it’s Cyber Orange. My issue with Area 51 and Cactus grey shades is while they are nice colors they are on every new Subaru/RAV4/CRV/Jeep I see. It’s the in color shade for 2019-202x. So I reserved the color to make it look like a School bus. I might have also gone with Lightning blue if it had been available across the lineup, but I’m not getting a first edition so it’s off limits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Bronco Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ironically my girlfriend and I settled on Area 51 early on. We liked Cyber Orange and carbonized grey as well. However, I work in construction where construction orange is everywhere. I didn't want my vehicle to fall into the mix with everything else as well as pay the premium for the paint. My current car is a magnetic grey explorer. Love the color but it shows dirt/salt easily here in Cleveland. I also thought it gave off a bit of a Land Rover vibe when coupled with the black top option. We liked that Area 51 and Cactus Grey were more pastel and looked like something you could get on a vintage Bronco. I am always more keen to blues than greens so we were leaning Area 51. Then once the overland concept came out it slammed the door shut on our decision. Unfortunately it opened the flood gates to the public who also had the same idea. Last time I checked over 1/5 of all reservations are Area 51. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffdemoss Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm an Area 51 order holder. I saw one in person at the OKC auto show last week and definitely made the right call. Cool color. Though that Antimatter Blue is pretty sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Im torn between White and Carbonized grey...then again Im having the interior changed out to Red. But who knows...because it will be a 2022 hopefully well get a broader color palette like Lead foot and an Army green... which would change everything.

I like how Cactus and Area 51 take Gray in different directions and then there's the darker Carbonised Gray. None of them are boring, striking how the colours work on the Broncos, Cactus on Ranger is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
