I've had my reservation in for a while for a new Bronco, and i just got a call from my dealer and made an appointment to go over final build and purchase next Tuesday . . . I'm having a hell of a time deciding my final paint option . . . here are the 3 colors im looking at.

Velocity Blue

Cactus Gray

or Carbon Gray

Which color would you go with? I'm more torn between the velocity blue and the cactus gray i think

 

[lklawson]

Blue.

Peace favor your sword,

If it was me....I'd get the OJ Simpson White.

I like the carbon gray.

Blue or Carbon Gray.

 

[MaryB]

The carbon gray is going to show different colors in different light... similar to the magnetic gray on my Escape...

 

[OldOutlaw]

Carbon Gray.

 

[histed]

Had too many gray/silver rides in my life.Never again. Blue all the way

 

[moona11]

Cactus gray

 

[Rerun]

Blue.

The blue harkins back to the old first gen Broncos. I'd go blue

 

[Think1st]

Olive. That thing would look awesome with a white star in the middle of the hood, too.

Edit: Oh, weight. That olive is actually carbon gray. Carbon gray is my choice. It would still look cool with a white star on the hood, though.

 

[CamoDeafie]

I'd go blue if must keep factory color but a wrap in this might be cool, old school 4-color camo in "Winter Verdant" scheme..
40% forest/ Camo green, 40% field drab/coyote brown , 10% Sand and 10% black I think.

That Cactus gray looks like a Toyota color.
Blue for me.

 

[Dubar]

What color is your house? Don't get that color on your Broncho. I went thru about 3 cars that unintentionally were the same color as my house. When I realized it I had a big laugh, never could figure out why I was choosing that color.

 

[retread]

don't know how long they have been selling these, but i have never seen a single one in the wild yet. probably overhype? or over priced?

 

[Politically Unreliable]

Cactus Grey (my :twocents

Also,

They exist, but they seem overpriced for what they are. They're about/ish the size of a Subaru Forester, which isn't a bad thing. They just seem to be stretching the price point.

 

[CamoDeafie]

There's a few running around here in Oregon that aren't dealer samples. Yes quite overpriced, and that'll hurt them in the long run as they won't be able to compete that well with anything Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, and Kia puts out. There seems to be two distinct versions, the larger Bronco, and the smaller Bronco Sport.

Edit. Supposedly they start at $30K, same as the Wrangler

 

[MaryB]

The full size version is supposed to be trail ready, run it over the Rubicon or take the kids to school... the trail hardware adds a lot to the price.

The "full size" is on the Ford Ranger chassis, and is indeed body-on frame construction with actual truck components, whereas the smaller Sport one is based on the Escape platform and doesn't seem to be that trail-ready... looks like its geared towards the same market as the Jeep Renegade and Liberty...and RAV4 and similar but not necessarily trail ready like the Wrangler.

Edit. I put "" on the Full size because the Ranger is actually considered a Midsize truck, smaller than the Full size F150.

Edit 2. I would have expected Ford to make a Bronco XLT on F150 chassis, just like the early OJ Simpson era ones and using the design language from the Expedition/Excursion/F150 series.. as that would make more sense... even if its just a "2 door Expedition"

The one on the right looks like an Inturdnational Scout, or a 1974 Jeep Commando.

Does the big one come with the Coyote engine?
