I'm with Granger so the experience was easy. Getting an Antimatter Blue Outer Banks 2-door with a V-6 engine, automatic transmission, advanced 4x4 transfer case, 4.27 gearing and rear locker, modular bumper, roof rack, PPF, high package, cloth navy and gray interior, headliner, and aux switches...
I'm sure others have come to this conclusion, but here's what I think is going on:
Dealerships have just realized the crazy demand for these things and they have customers coming in asking for them. Their big spender customers, their golf buddies, their cousins and aunts and uncles and nephews...
Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
If you get Cactus Gray, everyone will think you have a white Bronco.
If you get Cyber Orange, everyone will think you have a yellow Bronco.
If you get Area 51, Velocity, or Lightning, it's blue.
Gray is gray, black is black, white is white, and red is...
Yeah, I get it. I'm getting an OBX with painted flares, and living at over 6K feet above sea level with year-round sunshine, I may be at an advantage with this color. This was the fourth time I've been to this lot and it's looked like this every time. If I lived in an area with perpetually...
Oh, it's blue. While I was taking pictures today at the local lot, a guy came up from the other side. "Hey, that's a great looking (comes to my side of the truck) WOAH it's blue!"
Yep, it sure is. And yes, that's Pikes Peak reflected in the door.
Here's a thread on it: 4x4 Part Time Selectable Engagement vs Advanced On Demand Auto Engagement
I have AWD on my little Suzuki SX4 (which I believe is very similar) and it's wonderful in heavy rain and snow, especially when I hit sudden swaths of dry pavement. I use it a lot in the winter, and...
Don't feel bad. I changed my order two days after placing it. I felt awful, but Albert just laughed and took care of it. I offered to send him a dozen bagels or doughnuts from the nearest bakery to make up for me being an indecisive PITA but he passed.
Went from a Big Bend Mid to Outer Banks...
I will. I hope everyone gets out to see the colors before they make their final choice. I've seen them all on Sports, F-series trucks, and Rangers, and honestly, they all look good but seeing them in person really put my mind at ease. I know the Cactus Gray and Area 51 are popular, but to me...
I've been to the local Ford lot three times to see it on many trucks, and it's exactly what I want. It looks black in the shade, but much different in sunlight. And not a trace of purple.
Since I'm in a town where the sun shines almost every day of the year, I'm going to enjoy that blue! And...
Somebody over at Ford probably read yesterday's comment (from someone on this site, can't remember which member but they were spot-on) about what a moronic marketing move it was to demand all the free advertising they were getting from this site be removed. Honestly, how many clicks do you think...
I was all about the Big Bend (after I was all about the Base) until I realized I couldn't get the advanced 4x4 without adding Sasquatch. Are you squatching it? And are you in Mass? I lived in Boston for five years (78-83) and remember a heck of a lot of snow out there. Something to think about...
Hahahahaha. I've been tempted to start a poll: "Which will I get first? 1) Bronco, 2) COVID-19 Vaccine," but that's probably a little too twisted, even for this forum :)
Yeah, it could be. Funny, while you were typing this I was editing my post to note that this demand would pull resources from 2-door MIC top production. In other words, they aren't going to have enough MIC tops for 2-door and 4-door Broncos to go around.
