Not sure if it's been mentioned but "fighter jet gray" is actually a color already offered by Ford on the Mustang Mach 1. It's not quite cactus gray, although it's very close. It has less green in it IMO.

They could be replacing Cactus with Fighter Jet? Or it's possible that Automotive Touchup just didn't get the name right.

Lead foot...nice...probably the only color so far that would have come close to luring me away from picking AMB on my 2021. Although, it may clash with flares/MIC top, since it's close, but not exact. Love it on the F150s.

Both colors are the exact same. Just a different name.

There's a bunch of us nobodies here :) but its definitely one of those colors you have to see in person and i did not think it looked good at all on the ranger. I think I am happy/sad at the same time if it is discontinued. Happy since it makes it more unique sad that it'll be gone.

This thread is hilarious. Didn't hit the "News" section last week when the pallet was referenced, shown and linked to twice in different threads. Today: it's new news!

HPR was a 2019 Ranger "launch color" that was very poorly received (youtube the launch videos and their little parking lot showing off, most are HPR).

It was unusual at best to revive a 3 year old "dead color" for Bronco. Egg on my face as I called it out as ugly (which it is on Ranger and maverick) but on bronco it's pretty nice.

That being said, Ford rotates tri-coat paints every 2-3 years, alternating one in or out per year so it's always in flux and as Rapid Red "died" in 2021 it made sense to pull in a "1-year-special" paint to get Ford back on their normal paint rotation for tri-coats.

Enjoy your rare color! (Just don't try to color match it)


Terrain is a problem for Ford being able to produce EG. I assume paint because that's what scheduling emails kept saying. Any color but terrain/desert sand would get an EG scheduled but if you really wanted, no scheduling for that color until August. I'd be shocked if they'd offer that color for '23 without having the supplier issue fixed.
Terrain was always constrained to only being sprayed at the same time as they sprayed Terrain for the SPLASH! Rangers. And that was always designed as a Q4 2022 release. That Everglades Bronco comes in Terrain, they would always get painted together.

There does not seem to be any issue with Terrain being a "late availability" Q4 color. It also does not seem to be an issue for EG, just that they can rotate in a common color for the late availability color if you like. This might be a stretch, but perhaps Ford's color & material team chose EG as the "core" color that Everglades would come in. It is better than apartment grade off-white (Terrain) for many people.

(Desert sand looks by paint code to be Terrain)

Lead foot is my speed. Really liked that on the other Ford models. I should put my 2025 order in now...
I love Lead Foot Gray on my F150. It would (will) look awesome with the black MIC top. I really hope it happens or I'll be going with Iconic Silver. I am ready for the order banks to open so I can officially join everyone else who waiting for delivery.

Is "Lead Foot Grey" just a different name for "Carbonized Grey Metallic"? Or are they different colors?
I have Lead Foot on my 2018 F150. It is a flat gray with no metal fleck in it - totally different from carbonized. Pretty similar to Jeep Sting Gray.............only better because its on a Bronco (hopefully)!
