yes, white top with CG should be a home run. My point about painting was meant to refer to a CG color painted top. I think that will look worse than just keeping it black.
Iāve looked at a CG Ranger in every possible light with the exception of moonlight without an overhead (dealers keep those on of course). Indoors, out in sun, shade, cloud, dusk and night. Impressions:
1. You can always see a green tint if you try. Itās most prevalent in full sun, but far...
I saw LB and VB Rangers side by side indoors and then outdoors. That photo represents my impression pretty well, certainly better than B&P. LB has an almost black tint that looks absolutely amazing in person.
VB was nice, itās currently #2 on my list behind cactus gray. I think VB will look...
Crossroads Ford Apex has Rangers on the lot (outside!) in these colors:
Cactus Gray (awesome - had the same impression)
Lightning Blue (awesome)
Cyber Orange (OK)
And plenty of vehicles in everything else besides Area 51.
I have a reservation with Apex Crossroads. They sent me a welcome email and nothing since. I doubt you will get a decent deal from them, but please post details if you do.
I have now seen all colors I care about indoors, outdoors in sun, twilight, shade, cloudy on either a Sport or Ranger. My rank:
1. Lightning Blue. Simply gorgeous in all conditions. It looks like a black tinted velocity blue. I feel it will for sure look best with a shadow black mod top.
2...
I finally say Cactus Gray on a Ranger today. It was inside on a cloudy day so Iāll go back for a sunshine look if it clears up tomorrow. Inside, with no sun here are my impressions:
1. Itās gray. Have to squint to see the hint of green. No blue hint at all. Solidly gray to me and my...
4 door.
Yes, I have 2 kids that would be a factor if I didnāt just plain hate 2 doors. I like being able to drop stuff in that back row, have adults climb in my vehicle (even if rare) with ease. For every day living and driving easy access to the back row is great. I also think 2 door Jeeps...
Thanks, hotheads for SURE. I thought maybe theyād have a custom snap in or something cool like that. Nope. Sound deadening material cut to fit. Itās fine, thatās what deadener is so itās not like Ford screwed up. But hotheads will look just as good, maybe better and be cheaper.
Iām sorry, but that gray top is so awful. Ford should be ashamed. I keep trying to talk myself in to it, but then I see a photo like this.
The rest looks great.
Ford is seeing how many people add that feature to the build before making a decision is my guess. These are all simply price increases. Given the demand, they (Farley IMO) feel the initial pricing left money on the table. Instead of raising the price they are using accessories and upgrades to...
Another point on Esteban. He is the guy in the room trying to argue for changes and against jacking up the price. Heās absolutely āour guyā in this fight so if you meet him, say thanks. Iām not trying to shill, but Iāve been that guy at other companies. Iāve been in board rooms where they...
If I could ask for two things it would be (in order):
1. A light gray vinyl interior (at least one light option for Badlands).
2. MIC to be black or really close to black. The concept (molded in color) is spot on, but it looks pre-faded which sucks.
Esteban is product marketing (my job), not to be confused with marketing communications (MarCom). MarCom often relies on the product marketing when dealing with complex or technical topics like the Bronco. While most product marketing people are decent at promotion, they really care more about...
I went on Tuesday 12/29 and the cactus gray was gone. Knew I should have gone right away! Iām down to Cactus Gray or Antimatter Blue right now. The A51 they had didnāt look all that great to me (though I know most love it).
