What is the deal with the MIC?

to look better than Jeep by offering a hard top standard?

but really it’s a cheap top, and then they make the black and option and hold out on the white?

I don’t get teasing options. How is it not just fucking with your customers.

Why the hell is the shadow black an $1895 option? If a hard top is standard, graphite (MIC), shadow black or white should just be no cost options.
They're not the same tops....the gray top has an injected molded outer. Since the color is consistent thru it'll hold up better to scratches. The painted tops are have an outer made of SMC which is more similar to fiberglass. It's a heavier, more rigid material.

My question is I see alot of 2 doors with soft tops. Yet I was under the impression you couldn't order soft tops for the 2door right now. So are they sending two doors with soft tops standard or hard tops standard.

The variance in canon plugs for base and signature head/tail lights was to be expected (if you followed any of my posts on that subject regarding the cost and effort required to try and make the Lariat LED tail lights work on XLT Rangers)

Converting from incandescent to LED is designed to be a net-negative financial decision. If they are selling points for you, either prepare for a long process requiring technical knowledge, aptitude and patience, or buy a trim level Bronco with the lights you want.
Those look like the same connectors. Granted I'm using a small screen but they're both 16 pin females and then 6 pin males.

Call me ignorant, but the signature taillights don't look like it'd be that big a difference to just swap out. Maybe just splicing the plug onto the new assembly?
You will want to search on this topic here on Bronco6G or in the Ranger5G forums. The answer is readily available and will most likely surprise you and your pocketbook greatly.

It was done by a Ford employee and even with all parts at cost, it would have been cheaper for him to buy the Lariat trim level entirely than to upgrade the head/tail lights after purchase.

I love all the pics and will deep dive those for a while. I don’t like the black painted top, personally think it would look better as a satin low gloss finish.

Well that’s just swell. What a beautiful machine. I can’t wait though to see more black painted tops on these. It’s going to be like a Bronco with makeup all done up. Buss it girl. #bussitchallange

Awesome pics as usual, much appreciated.

Phone charge pad thing looks different than the original concept, lays flat in the actual where it laid at kind of an angle in the prototype?

Like so -

Hard tops are standard...soft tops are going thru testing phases!

FINALLY a 4 door cactus with the soft top, my exact build. Confirms that I made the right choice; had been wondering if the extra $$ to upgrade to Badlands for aesthetics would be worth it.

I have seen Cactus Gray on sports in the dealership lots, can confirm it has more of a green hint to it. The factory lights wash out the color and brighten the overall shade more than daylight would.

Don't judge when they're parked in the factory. Those lights seem to wash out the color depending on where they're parked. Rarely will they see light like that once they're released into the wild.
I agree. I’m pretty disappointed in what Cactus gray has turned into. Like where is the 🌵? I’m saving my final judgment of it until we see it in the real world though.
