Hey @Ford Motor Company, just wanted to make sure you are seeing this thread and aware of the feedback / concern over the color choices and especially removing Cyber Orange and Area 51 in 2023. We appreciate any thoughts and assistance.
I wish that they would take one paint booth and dedicate it to the special colors. Leave Area 51 and Cyber Orange in, but if you have that color just run those in certain production weeks a long with Robins Egg Blue and what ever other special color they are going to do and crank out the rest in...
So true! Ha. I envy your disposition here. It's tough when you place an order, get it in your head that THAT is the thing you will be getting, and then all of a sudden, nope, it's gone...although technically you never really had it to begin with. Nonetheless, I still feel Ford should fill...
I can see some executive or marketing person taking away Cyber Orange and another lighter blue color to get interest going for their heritage robins egg blue and Yellowstone vehicles…but I think that would be a huge misstep by Ford…especially for people with existing orders in the removed...
IMHO, when I first saw Cyber Orange, I thought, finally, a color that isn’t white, gray, blue, or black like almost every other vehicle on the road (no offense if that is your color). 😀 I have no idea what color I would pick if I were to be pushed to 23 or if I would even stick with my order...
I saw on The Fast Lane’s pre-review of the 2023 Raptor R today that one of the available colors is Antimater Blue (the one he previewed). Wonder if that means it will be back for the Bronco as well in 2023?
So sorry for your loss. It’s a hard thing to go through and adjust to. It was life-changing for my wife and I. The good news is the good memories will eventually outweigh the loss. Give it time.
Great review. As already stated, we need more reviews like this. Very honest and straight forward but remains positive (in demeanor) and objective even when encountering aspects of the vehicle that could be better. Thanks so much for the thought you put into this. Thrilled that you like it!
It's probably all going to come down to perseverance. It's hard to say. Some might back out due to climbing interest rates, but I would bet you will see more once the order banks open up again and people start opting to order vs buy and paying ADM, then inventory may start going back up at...
So I'm relatively new in the off-roader arena. In non-pandemic times, how have used Jeep and 4-Runner prices held up over time? It appears they at least hold their value from what I have seen so far, but I'm sure there are some experienced folks who could chime in. Just wondering what our...
