How Can Ford NOT Build This?

[SGMBronc]

Hello -
I'm new to this forum and not yet a new generation Bronco owner... but I'm trying : )

After having waited for some time, like the initial announcement, I've had my eye on acquiring a new generation Bronco and in particular the Heritage edition. I've finally decided to take the plunge but discovering exterior color options are sorely limited and worse yet, even my 3rd choice color has been discontinued! Argggg! So far there appears to be no way me, as a consumer, can actually purchase what I want (see attached). From my perspective how can Ford NOT build this? Dark Moss or Dark Ivy Green (don't say DHG) were standard colors on the Bronco back in the day and fits perfectly with the Heritage theme. I suspect others perhaps share that thought... or not.

My question at this point is, does anyone know anyone that might have the lobbying juice to get one or more built? An exec, a large volume dealer, etc.? Has anyone heard of anyone who's gone down that road resulting in success? I'm willing to lead the charge if there's a viable path forward.

Thanks for any/all responses... flames cheerfully ignored : )

(p.s. I told ChatGpt to use Sierra Green Metallic, which I've found it flops brown - ng for me) but rendered in roughly Dark Ivy (don't say DHG) which really what I'm after.)

Welcome to B6G. Are there other reasons why you haven't bought a Heritage edition? Seems like a color hasn't stopped others from purchasing a Bronco and had it wrapped or painted immediately.

AT this point I'd hang tight and see what 27 has to offer, usually we find out anywhere from August to October about future models which includes color options.

When you come to grips with the fact that the Heritage Edition has nothing to do with heritage at all, but just another trim level, you'll be able to finally make that purchase and just enjoy your vehicle for what it is - a production 4x4 with great capability and accompanying quirks.

If you really want to lobby a color, buy your Bronco and have it custom painted. You will be the envy of all. Ford will have no choice but to adopt the color. To image that Ford would build just one or two custom color vehicles on request at a the same price as a mass produced one is just ridiculous.

While they're at it... a 2-door in seapine metallic with a white painted steel hard top and chrome... lots and lots of chrome.

I recall a post awhile back about Chinese market Broncos where they showed a lighter green color with a white top and grill. I would love that combo.

Topics that should be avoided by new arrivals to the forum. Build and order scheduling , Shipping times, number of doors available for each trim, and finally exterior colors. The only difference with Ford today is instead of” you can have any color as long as it is black” being the mandate, the word “ black” has been replaced with “ gray”.

I’m a fan of the classic green as well, esp with a natural leather interior, but we’re unlikely to see it from Ford. They don’t respond to anything but the numerics of soulless market research and bottom lines. I’m amazed they’re rolling the (relatively) wild copper rust and evergreen on the upcoming Filson editions, maybe check those out?

Either you like the Bronco well enough and you buy one, and you repaint/wrap it if you really really want that color.

Or you don't.

Life doesn't have to be complicated. Odds are you, and maybe 5 other people, are holding off buying because of this one particular hangup over Green.

Didn't the Heritage trim come in green at some point?

I have a green 2 Dr Bronco and I'm glad the color went away for a little while, as I started to see far too many copy cats throughout Georgia.

Always get a ton of complements on mine and wanted a white top real bad, but over it now I guess. No plans to wrap it.

If you want the Bronco, color shouldn't stop you, as most of us here love ours. I will never trade or sell mine, going to drive it until either It's dead or I am.

Heritage has not come in green, you may be referring to this?

Dammit Ford get with the program... The germans do it why cant we. Porsche has their PTS program where you can get literally any color you want. Ive seen ferrari colors done. Granted thats about a $30k option or more.
