None of them are boring, striking how the colours work on the Broncos, Cactus on Ranger is interesting. Its a far cry from the days of Oxford white and plain silver and black. White platinum and Ceramic Pearl can be stunning on the right vehicle and I generally don’t like white vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonized Gray is a different shade of Magnetic and it looks awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally don't like Platinum White on trucks and it never looked great on the old Escape. I could take it or leave it on the Focus or Edge but it looked awesome on Fusion, C-Max and Mustang.

Carbonized Gray works wonders with the body lines of the Bronco. Only reason I am not going with that color is my current car is Magnetic. Wanting to change it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White platinum and Ceramic Pearl can be stunning on the right vehicle and I generally don’t like white vehicles. The tricoat metallic white is very impressive. $500 option, but well worth it. Impressed how water stains don't show after auto wash, and metal flake really pops nicely. The paint shop at LAP does nice work. I originally ordered velocity blue before covid closure, but glad I bought the tricoat white in inventory instead. Not a white fan before, but am now.

T-dubz Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I’ve seen cactus several times now and every time all I can see is mint green. It looks like it would be at home on a ‘57 t-bird. I hope cactus is limited to a few years and then they give us leadfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like the Oxford White, Shadow Black, and Iconic silver that Bronco gets? haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In context, Cactus is a greenish gray and Area 51 a bluish gray, that's what I meant by taking Gray in two directions - green and blue.

Yup, I'll agree Cactus Gray is greenish gray, but Area 51 if anything is a grayish blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I know you're messing around, but Bronco Nation continues to prove their.....um.....prowess by inexplicably only pointing out MIC tops get it when all of them get it. Here's the email text: Next week we will be sending a communication to all Bronco order holders outlining a production change for the 2021MY Bronco. The Sound Deadening Headliner is now available across the entire 2021 Model Year Bronco hard top model lineup regardless of selected options for no charge ($495 value). The addition of the sound deadening headliner improves overall appearance while reducing interior cabin noise. Vehicles equipped with a cloth or leather interior will receive the headliner as standard Vehicles equipped with the Marine Grade Vinyl interior will have the option to add in the headliner – some customers will want the function to easily wash off their roof panels. Pricing: if a customer’s vehicle is equipped with the sound deadening headliner, their price will be reduced by $495 MSRP Like the MIC top wasn't even mentioned specifically. Not sure why BN would mention it only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If production starts early may should I anticipate those being produced are only the dealer test units? I was really hoping Ford would crank em out and have a decent stockpile of orders waiting in the lots to ship. Wishful thinking maybe.

I was really hoping Ford would crank em out and have a decent stockpile of orders waiting in the lots to ship. Wishful thinking maybe. I think I can shed some light on this. It all depends on when the OK to buy is given. Could be a week (lol not likely) could be 6 months (also not likely). Based on how Ranger launch went, I could see OKTB happening some time in early May just before Job 1. We won't know for sure until we get rolling and I may have a better idea of how things are going in 3-4 weeks.

It's also worth mentioning that ZERO mannequins are scheduled to build currently prior to the 5/3 Job 1. Don't expect that to hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealers will get a demo unit that they can't sell for a certain amount of time/milage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
