They took it away because the take rate was essentially zero, nobody outside a tiny fraction cares about it. It's basically black anyways

Spoken like a true Ford executive.Did you do everything you could do to get a 2021? Where do you prioritize AMB? Is it important enough to elect a soft top or take a 4-door or not get Sasquatch? We all saw this coming. At least the rumors were such that we all should have expected the loss of at least a couple colors. You could have probably gotten an AMB Bronco, if you were willing to make the sacrifice.
Good luck with that one. Let us know how it works out.Just got back from the dealer. I switched my October Base 2Dr from Shadow Black to AMB for that very reason.
Since I'm in VIN Limbo, I figured I'd take advantage of the one thing I could still control and change my color to AMB since Ford has graciously made AMB more of a unique and rare Bronco choice.
Careful, the @Ford Motor Company apologists will dogpile you. I know. I dared to point out how tone deaf Ford has been and nearly every time a few of them pop up to tell me that I am the problem. LMFAO.Hey @Ford Motor Company - your broken reservation site, your inability to properly inform dealerships of the ordering process, you overpromising on top options then taking them away, your crappy consolation prizes, you screwing over 2door reservation holders, whatever priority orders are, your dealerships taking and selling their own reservations before customers, your “stay pumped” marketing strategy, you changing colors for 22, and your dirt mountain all suck. Figure it the fuck out.
I will know by Monday when the big brain in Dearborn is back on the job.Good luck with that one. Let us know how it works out.
Those folks are the same ones that will tell you that It's Always Sunny on Dirt Mountain.Queue the Ford apologists,
"What kind of person makes an order for a new vehicle and believes that they are going to get the color they ordered before it gets canceled? Just pick a different color whiner!"
Completely predictable...
Here is another one showing off that beautiful blue
I agree with you 100%. LB is awesome and if performance blue is offered on the Raptor version I’d consider the additional cost to step into that trimI think the bigger problem is that Ford killed Lightening Blue instead of Velocity Blue. I think a lot of AMB people would have settled for Lightening blue, but they will never choose Velocity Blue.
Given my choice between the three, I would pick Lightening. Given the choices I had for 21, I picked Antimatter Blue. GIven the choices I now have for 2021, I will go with white, black, or carbonized gray.
they pulled a fast one on everyoneAre you kidding me? Ford asks me to wait for MY22 and then takes away my color, antimatter blue? I like the eruption green, but why is this at the expense of antimatter blue? Giveth and taketh away.
Am I missing something? Did they really pull out antimatter blue for MY22?
I saw antimatter blue on a Bronco Sport outdoors, and it looked nice. Was dark but not black, at least on the overcast but sunny day I saw it. My wife liked the color as well and identified it as blue without me mentioning. I'm more of a red or VB guy, but can see why people liked the antimatter, for more of an understated blue look.AMB is not black. It is so much more.
Ford is making another huge P.R. mistake by not letting people get what they ordered over a year ago.
Lightning Blue needed to be killed off in order to keep the First Edition unique and sought after, hell at this point I think that Lightning Blue is maybe the only thing separating the First Edition's from the rest of the Bronco's. As much as I like that colour it definitely should not of stayed.I think the bigger problem is that Ford killed Lightening Blue instead of Velocity Blue. I think a lot of AMB people would have settled for Lightening blue, but they will never choose Velocity Blue.

I'm still hanging in there for that hammock... I wonder if it'll come before I pick my new color. . . Hang in there . . . . .
