I'm not a fan of Area 51 AND I'm frankly tired of seeing it everywhere. I like this color in a vacuum but don't understand it given the current color set, and I certainly don't get why it's an extra cost option when compared to something like Cyber Orange, which is a brilliant color in person (just not for me).

I do think this will look great on the Everglades, but I preferred the tan option myself.
I can't believe they got rid of desert sand instead of making it available to all models. You they can't say they were worried it was too similar to Cactus Gray considering the rest of the palette.

The "rock rails" that accommodate the hoop steps are not load bearing. They will not support the weight of the vehicle.
Neither will the original rock rails despite what Esteban indicated back pre-launch. Only frame mounted rails have the capability to support the weight.

Agreed! It probably had a small take rate, but I think they didn't factor in that most people who considered it also just didn't want an extra wait after it was announced as a late availability.

But we also have to figure in that the Ranger and Bronco share paint booths, and ultimately, the Ranger isn't going to be available with a bunch of wild colors. Which is a shame, because at least Toyota plays with that notion.

Example 1-17: Not my personal choice, but I see them often enough to know they sell these in the mid-sized market!

50 shades of grey seems to be the them of the Bronco color palette
It is the color palette of ALL vehicles now. I feel like I am at the paint store looking at the color cards trying to decide whether to use Greek Villa or Cloud white. THEY ARE BOTH WHITE, DAMNIT! 🤪

The Ranger Splash trim shares some of the limited Bronco colors. This year was Avalanche (Snow) Green (Forest) and Tan(Desert).

I am so glad that I didn't hold out for the mod top. I would have been so mad to lose out on cyber orange

I'm 100% computer stupid. I can barely make this post. Can someone with more skills than me drop the middle (side view) pic above next to area 51 in similar light in a side-by-side. I would love to do it myself... but... I'm comstupidated.

definition of "azure" - the blue color of the clear sky - so I don't really get the naming here. I think I like the color though. Is it sort of Brittany Blue but for some reason they had to use the word grey in the name?
