Is the A51 overlands outfitted w regular flares or Sasquatch flares??
Squatch flares but the aftermarket wheels have an offset that brings the tires further out, making it look better.
The regular flares will look great on the Squatch.

my wife calls this the Malibu ken color. But I want it. How douchey will this color be for a soon to be middle aged man with kids living in a conservative suburban town? Is it over the top trendy/flashy in person? Or is it more subdued 60s retro?

Pictures of A51 with overcast skies make it look a lot more like Cavalry Blue from Toyota. A little lighter, and might have a touch of green that Cav Blue doesn't have. I will say that it may not be loved by everyone, it is rarely hated. I do get folks who go out of their way to say they love the truck's color. I think A51 will be the same. No its not flashy but it is not your plain jane white / black / silver that are on every other vehicle.

Nothing offensive or douchey about A51.

This. Every vehicle around where we live seems to be white, silver, gray, or red. *laughs* Hell, I'm guilty as well with a dark gray F-150 and red Jeep Patriot. Looking forward to my Area 51 Bronco sitting in my driveway.

^^^ the weird thing is that my wife has said that we'll sell her Subie to get the Bronco, which means I'd have A51 and Cavalry Blue in the driveway at the same time. Throw my '75s Midnight Blue metallic and you'd think we have a thing for blue vehicles.

Ford Bronco Area 51 thread 1603757252395


Wildtrak has Area51 accent colors (according to interiors video). Not feeling how bright that grab handle is. Looks like a smurf.

Agreed...here is a photo of my son's '69 Chevy C10 painted with the Porsche Graphite Blue Metallic...if you Google the color name, you'll see that the the color flips quite a bit depending on the angle and lighting

Is anyone else annoyed that A51 is so prominent in the B&P and has now shown as the number 1 color being built? It may be that at the end of the day, people pick it in B&P by default but ultimately change to something more conservative. But I really wanted this to be a little more rare. I would hate for this to be the color you see on every bronco in year 1.

I am incredibly happy A51 is the most popular. If I am one of the few guys with it, i'd feel like i was that guy driving the smurf mobile. Having more A51s on the road brings up the acceptance rate.

I was a little concerned about the new found popularity then I realized that Area 51 is exclusive to the Bronco as of this year. So, at least for this model year it is unique to the Bronco which I like.
