Go with Silver. Doesn’t show the pinstripes from brush as much as the green.

Green.
So many in a sea of silver and grey-toned vehicles on the road.
Plus check out how cool the SitckerFab interior topo accents look in EG and visualize that tying in with the exterior.
+1 on the rethinking of the matte wrap. Both have tons of metallic in them that begs for sunlight.
It's a cool, soft look in a matte wrap but EG just looks so good clean and bright.

Been waiting for a dark metallic green but no one brings it back in trucks. Eruption green is ok as long as it isn’t in bright sun.

Went with silver instead. Should have my OBX by the end of this week.

Green - it's very tasteful in person.

All good thoughts.

Agreed about the Eruption green maybe being a bit too much in the sun...luckily I live in a very cloudy climate but another reason I think the satin/matte ppf can help subdue that a bit. To each their own, I've never liked super flakey metallic paints that sparkle in the sun.

Here's both colors with the stealth wrap to help you make an informed decision:

My vote is for the green!

Thanks...yeah I went through all these threads earlier. They both obviously look good under interior lighting...struggling to find pics of the matte/satin silver out in regular conditions. I assume with the silver you wouldn't appreciate or notice the satin finish unless you were super close?

No matter what color you decide on, you'll always be regretful every time you see an Area 51 Bronco....;)

Yes, super subjective I know, but just curious if anyone else has been torn specifically between Iconic Silver and Eruption Green? And yes, opposite ends of the spectrum, I know!

I have great offers on two leftover 2023 Wildtrak editions, just can't decide even after seeing both in person. Would be getting matte/stealth ppf on either, which I think would make the Eruption Green even more unique. I just worry that after a year or two, would I start to think it's TOO green (has this happened to anyone here)? Just from reading some older threads, seems like Iconic Silver doesn't get a lot of love around here, but I think it works especially well on the Wildtrak with all the contrasting black bits.

Happy to hear any and all thoughts! Thanks.
green with wrap to tone it down ...silvers great but a tad understated

I have Eruption Green and love it, especially in the sun, since it changes in color depending on what angle you look at it. I also get unsolicited compliments on it, the last one was yesterday, "I love your Bronco, especially the color!" I had a silver Jeep Wrangler for 10 years before I got my '22 Bronco and wanted something that wasn't boring (the Bronco is anything but boring) and common. It was between EG and hot pepper red. Anyway, pick whatever makes you smile when you look at it!

I typically don't like common car colors like grey, white, black and silver, however Iconic Silver looks brilliant on the Bronco. I see way more green Broncos then I do silver. I think silver in this case would be more unique plus you can match so many more contrasting colors with it then you can green. FYI Green is my favorite color lol. Cheers and good luck!

Hopefully the Ford factory rep is reading this string. At some point you need to offer an option to paint the hardtop body color. Seen a few shows where they sanded down the top, added heavy coat of primer and painted it body color.
Complete transformation of the vehicle.
Possible for 2025?

Agreed - isn't this what most pickup camper shells do (i.e. sell them in white and then pick your manufacturer's color to match)?

Based on this, why bother with either? Regardless which camp you fall in, both colors have metallic that you dislike — no judgment here, just stating the obvious.

Don’t let your dealer get in your head. There is plenty of left over 23’s and price slashing going on. You may have to go out of state to get the color & deal you want but IMO that’s better than dropping several thousand on wraps, etc to change a core feature it seems you don’t love on either.

Silver for me (it is what color I went with). But then again, I just generally do not like the color green.

If there was a darker blue available, I would have went with that - something a tad lighter than the old Antimatter blue would have been nice.
