Like that cool beetle green! Neat!!This is the only truck I could find labelled "Cactus Green." I don't know if it is the same as the 1970 option (this is a '72) but this colour would have been a home run for me.
but why does cactus grey look so blue now compared to the original First Edition pics?!
Think bc they were still tweeking it!!but why does cactus grey look so blue now compared to the original First Edition pics?!
Pretty much exactly this. With production delays and the "talent" (term used very, very, very loosely in this situation) Ford has utilized with colors/materials for Bronco, We should be hoping they don't make any changes, rather than looking forward to possible changes.
Not to skim over the girth of your quote, normally you have to pay double to watch that sort of thing.
Okay, since the topic of this thread has already been beaten in other threads, and it preeeeeeeeeeety much instantly devolves into "Ford should have offered ________ (insert: "green", "stupid military colors", "make it look like concrete!", "make everything grayscale, i'm colorblind", etc.)", i'll try and comment on the actual topic at hand (just like in the other threads).
It's highly unlikely that Ford will make more than one or two color changes, if any. Traditionally Ford will offer a brand new vehicle launch with one or two "launch colors" that get to be as special as Navy Pier interior. They get replaced with nearly the same colors, but usually something that will actually get purchased in volume.
2019 "Launch colors" for Ranger
Personal feeling on Saber, having seen it in person a few times: ?
- Saber, which somehow survived for 2020, gone for 2021. Bronco has Cyber Orange which is also a Bronco color, so it should stick around for 2 model years.
- Hot Pepper Red, which was immediately replaced by Race Red in 2020. This color was confusing in person. Wayyyyy too orange. Again, Ranger and Bronco share paint colors with Race Red and Rapid Red for 2021 and most likely into 2023.
- Ford changes their metallic blue color every 2-4 years. Lightning Blue just phased out for 2021 Ranger with VB being the new metallic blue for both. I would estimate this stays around for 3-4 years unless Ford changes the color fleet-wide.
Given covid, delays in manufacturing and the marketplace right now, I would be absolutely SHOCKED if Ford made any exterior paint changes to Bronco as it would also have to do so for Ranger, and they juuuuuuuuuuust unified the paint pallet for that factory across all models built there.
- Platnium White was the second up-charge paint color for Ranger in 2021. It's been dropped entirely, assuming you consider Saber to have changed to Cyber Orange.
I've seen Cactus Grey in person and it looks nothing like that mint disaster, it looked a lot more like the Original top pic....and IT BETTER keep looking like the first one.I hear you but that original cactus grey they showed us is more green like everyone in this thread is wishing for..
