Mike Levine tweeted about the Build & Price update for the 2024 Ranger this morning, with a build-out in Shelter Green Metallic.

Knowing that Bronco and Ranger share a line at Michigan Assembly Plant, paint colors and all, do you think certain trims will see this color on Bronco, specifically, the Bronco Raptor?

Would you order this green? Do you like it more than Eruption Green? Let us know!

If you blurred the headlights and didn't have "FORD" on the grille I'd swear that was a tacoma.

Tacoma is better, you can get it with a manual box and better colors.😆

Slightly too much brown in that green for me. I'd like a green closer to the color of the Bronco Nation build. Just a simple military drab green. Wouldn't give up Cyber Orange for it....but would have considered it if it had been available when I ordered.

Nah. I don't particularly like the Shelter Green Metallic.

I am partial to Antimatter Blue...but would consider a Forest Green (w/metallic) a decent second choice.

I think they should go with some Avengers Colors. AMB is practially Captain America Blue- but how about IronMan Red? HULK GREEN!!!

I'm sure a Marvel licensing agreement wouldn't drive up the cost too much. :ROFLMAO:

Except Toyota does that stupid thing where only certain trims get certain colors. They got dozens of color options, but each trim only gets access to 4 - 7 of those options. Want a base 4x4 truck in that awesome green color?? NOPE! No can do. What about a lunar-gray?? Sorry, you have to buy the lower end truck.

Granted Ford does the same thing to some degree. I get that limiting certain special edition colors makes sense if you are releasing a special edition vehicles. But Toyota is just annoying about it—they do it on all of their trims.

One day, some car company will steal a huge market share simply by allowing the customer to pick any color they want from a color wheel, and click “clear coat” or “metallic”.

The problem with the Toyota is the manual box only comes in a moredoor, so thats a no show anyway.You would think they would want the manual in the more sporty 2 door.
The bridgeport grey color that is popular right now is going to suffer the same fate as the greens did in early 2000s, its only a passing fad, come trade in time the color will hurt price because no one will want it.

When was that option available? In all the years I‘ve ordered vehicles that has never been an option… granted, one can order the paint and have the rig painted any color, but I have never seen a full color palette available for a whole car line…

This would be nice if they add som accent colors. Similar to the bottom strips on the F-150, or some good looking strips.
This is spot on.

Dark green with mic fenders and grill aren't very complimentary in my opinion. There needs to be some bright accent colors, some type of a freewheelin sticker package or some pin stripes to brighten it up and make it pop.

I remember having a real problem finding my 97 green explorer in the Denver Airport parking lot amongst all the other half billion green ford explorers. then there is the couple who got lost because their suv's natural paint job blended too well into the background and they nearly died.

It's like if kodiak brown and eruption green had a baby. Eruption brown, perhaps? We need a flat, non-metallic green like military green or boxwood.
Yes to Boxwood!
