Michigan Assembly Plant Mistake?

This weekend, I was doing an interior detail of my Bronco for the first time. As I was cleaning the passenger door handle, I realized it was black, while my driver's side is gray. Not a big deal to me, as it took me 1.5 years to notice (or just clearing 1.5 years' worth of dust off, perhaps, but even still).

Is the right color gray (Badlands, MGV)? I was looking at Build and Price, which seems to show gray (pictured above) but I know that too can have quirks. I like the black more, to be honest. Looks a little less busy.

Thinking of some other recent mentions that have surfaced on an Outer Banks and a Black Diamond, did you find any little mixups on your Bronco? Did you take it in to the dealer, and how did fixing it go? I probably won't bother with this, but just curious.

Not me! I got the MGV on purpose. And after I cleaned it finally, I put my rubber floor mats in. Except my backseat ones, the box said two door but there is no way.

Do you remember the MGV front seats and cloth or leather rear seats? I think that happened 2 or 3 times.


As if I needed an excuse to go look at my Bronco 😄..... But here I go....

Same here....my 21 BL are both same grey.

Ha, in this case, it worked, since it took me so long to notice. Somewhere, there is a yin to my yang out there with a black driver's and gray passenger...

Not trying to brag, but they went 4 for 4 grey on mine... must have been right after they had their employee assessment and got a pay raise. 💪💪

Don't raise the hood... it may be the trouble free 2.3 under there....

Nothing wrong at all with the 2.3. But my ability to blast past the speed limit while barely pressing the pedal wants to tell me a diff story

Can't break if you don't let the smoke out!! ... or... whatever my grandfather to use say.

Also... it just occurred to me that if we really wanted to... we could trade doors like baseball/Pokemon cards at the next Bronco meetup. 😁

😂😂 I wanted to try to land a joke about doing it once. On accident. While trying to pull the well-designed parking brake handle, so perfectly done Ford ended up flipping it in later years.
yeah I've seen jeepers do that lol! Someone give me an antimatter blue pls

Isn't it just the color reflection? Kinda like the Hot Pepper Red. Most photos it looks red, not the actual orange tint.

My brother and I were talking about doing this trading the doors my Desert sand Bronco with his Carb Grey doors and he would roll with my DS doors on his CG Bronco but he did not keep his long enough for us to do it.

We are missing the little cover for the door panel bolt that sits behind the door handle on the rear passenger door. Noticed it on day two but I figured the dealership would find a way to mess it up so I just live with it. any one know what that part number would be or what the part is called?
