Expand Color Options During B&P and charge for it?

[moisea]

I stumbled on this on my way to Starbucks. I have been trying to find any similar vehicles in my area and see how the colors would look on the bronco- let’s be honest, just because a color does not look good on a Sedan does not mean it would not look good on a beast like the bronco. Also, I am one of those who thinks the broncos are more suited for brighter colors because they will showcase all the unique aspects of the design. The current color options from ford are too limited. I understand it’s all about the scale but they can produce smaller quantities with unique colors like these even while they mass produce more classic colors. I would pay to have have this color as part of B&P. What do you think, should they expand the color options and charge for them so we can at least have our preferred color if we are going to be spending +55000 on a truck?

I’ve never heard of Ford allowing a custom color from the factory. I can tell you that Porsche has PTS ( paint to sample ), but it will cost you 10 grand and up depending on what you want painted. I do hope Ford expands the color options before orders are placed. I want my Grabber Blue!

+1 - would love to see an expanded color range. I'm in for yellow and would be willing to pay for it - not $10k but defo up to around $1k.
There re too many gray/black/white/silver cars about....

Fleet Vehicle Special Options (VSO) allows for custom paint codes from the factory but would require a minimum order of 25 vehicles and 10-12 weeks to allow for delivery: https://www.fleet.ford.com/cmslibs/.../HOW_TO_REQUEST_SPECIAL_PAINT_DEVELOPMENT.pdf

There will be plenty of other color options in the years ahead. If you don't like what you see now, just wait a year or two.

I bet we could get at least 25 who want the sage green.

Only problem is they will most likely require them to all be build at the exact same spec.... I would be DOWN for sage green though if they could somehow do that. Interesting idea for sure!

You can on the Ford GT but that's a whole different price point lol

You have to remember all the paint colors they are going to use probably have been tested in tons of conditions and for thousands of hours.

Maybe not the same configurations (impossible to pull off) because they paint before trim - great idea, a dealer special - Kerbec used to have a Kerbec Blue for Corvettes.

The dept of forestry used to do sage green,
But they got sick of paying extra for the custom color, then also taking a bath on resale because nobody wanted forestry green

Now they use white vehicles, and that's why we can't have nice things

The Dept of Forestry would be the ideal candidate for the Sasquatch.

Sage green is a great idea. I would even go for Bullitt green If they offered that.
