Question for new cactus gray Bronco owners…

what is your impression after a week or so? Are there times it looks greenish or blueish? Or do you mostly see gray? Other impressions? is It a chameleon in person like it seems in photos?

It looks greenish more than blue, but if the reflection/sun is right it does look blue sometimes too.

it is the same trick of the eye in person. It changes based on lighting and surrounding. It doesn’t seem just gray very often… it always appears a little unique which gets people asking the name of the color all the time.

Here are a couple of photos to add in different lighting conditions.

It seems more blue in person than I expected. Previously when I would see it on the Bronco Sport I always thought it had a hint of green.

Couldn't stop because I'm (technically) at work, but saw this at Koch 33 in Easton Pa.

Called about this this morning. Salesman said it’s a mannequin, and they don’t know if they will add aDM until the demo period expires.

I had a bad experience there when it was Milham Ford,, and more recently at their Toyota dealer, glad I didn't order through them. That sounds like code for "there will be adm".

I’m in a different state, but saw the rig on autotrader.com, so I checked to see if it’s “for sale”. They said would let me know when it will be for sale, and what the price will be. He said “for sure MSRP”, but wasn’t sure about ADM. thank you for the heads-up about them. I would hate to waste a trip!

The wait was worth it!
Picked up my 2 door/2.7/Mid BD today from the dealer. First impressions from a quick inspection and the drive home:
  • MIC top looks good! I will look at it closer tomorrow and see if I can find any imperfections, but overall it looks about how I would expect from molded plastic.
  • Cactus Gray looks great as always
  • I took the roof panels out for the ride home and they came out pretty easily even with the roof rails on.
  • The 32” Grabbers and the steelies look better in person, at least on the 2 door. I was thinking of upgrading to bigger tires, but I think that will get kicked down the road at least for a little while.
  • Averaged 21.1 mpg on my 80 mile drive home, switching between Eco and Sport mode and varying my RPM.
  • 8 inch screen is plenty big enough for my liking
  • I will get better pictures (including interior) tomorrow to add!
