Man that looks good. Winch and the wheels really make it with the top off. Lots of dust to clean out, but sure does look the business.Call me crazy, but when I saw "Desert Rising Edition" I pictured in my mind a Desert Sand Bronco with some cool black graphics. Something like this maybe?
The pink on bright white paint defintely says “Barbie” and not “sunrise”. The Utah Pink Sand Dunes have some pink color but even the best attempts to capture that show a mixture of earthy tones.I think that is a white base. If they wanted the 'sunrise' effect or whatever, I think it would look way better on a gray/light gray base color.
As mentioned throughout this thread, pink on white screams Barbie. Pink/purple on Gray would at least get a little away from that. And I think something like the middle or right of middle color below would have been better for the interior - and the more I think about it, they should have used that gradation along the exterior instead of gradation of pink/mauve.
Unfortunately the way it looks now, I think most (I know I would) would mistake it for some well done aftermarket mod for someone who is into pink.
I challenge you to show us a truly inspired design Ford has released for the 6g. Even the Stroppe, which was inspired (by Stroppe's actual ride...) without being very creative, washed up on the rocky shoals of selling the damn things.
Sarcasm....extreme sarcasm.
It’s probably the same design team, but different objectives, different project leads, different target market. (And obviously designing a car show concept vehicle is a vastly different project than a quick-to-market bolt-on/glue-on appearance package.)All I can say is I hope the team that came up with this ugly, hideous machine below got sacked in favor of the innovative team that developed the Dessert Rising (sp. intentional). Look at this awful thing! Gross! I hope something like that NEVER makes it to market! Just looking at it makes me gag. Give us more 🩷 and mauve and maybe teal seat covers and sticker packages!
Probably, and look what gets to market. Mean while, they de-feature the two door product line to what...improve it's sales....by making it less expensive and also less attractive? But they put money into this thing....even if it is a small amount of money?
Oh, I hear you as a fellow 2DR owner. I’m sure they’re just driven by the market reality that few customers want a 2DR vehicle. Or they *want* one, until they discuss with the wife.

There is nothing stopping Ford from building a 2-dr Raptor. It certainly wouldn't be built to the spec of the Cliffhanger concept - seats, tube doors, and 40's. But doing so would cannibalize the current 4-dr Braptor sales which are already struggling. And the price point will certainly be cheaper than the 4-dr Braptor.
That was a walk down memory lane! My BadSas was still on order! I love how half of the posts were predicting Ford was about to build it — wrong!
