The new blue on the Explorer (called Blue - how creative) looks great. My Fusion is that color. It's Blue Metallic on the window sticker but the order guide just says Blue. Love the color on everything I've seen it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) The third dealer near me actually has 2. One Hot Pepper Red and the other Magnetic. Wouldn't buy from them though. They almost always can be beaten on price and service elsewhere. Edited January 21, 2019 by fuzzymoomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildosvt Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Since we started building. The color blend has been pretty darn even all around. I will say this, There should not be only 1 lone Saber out there. Far from it. It must be selling like hot cakes. Same with the Red.

Deanh Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 as for all the units arriving ( and we are yet to see any yet ) being loaded lariats etc....initial allocation was MISERABLE...so my bet is dealers optioned their units out max...we had a grand total of ONE....sheesh....and its pre -sold...interest has been EXCELLENT....

Deanh Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 all quibbling aside....barring a couple of niggles, we had a Ranger here today for training....couple of things bugged me, but were trivial ( mirror adjustments should be on the door, keyless entry was the stick on wart ) the truck is outstanding.....I forsee it doing really well, its jumped the competition in a multitude of areas... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm obviously partial to Ingot Silver. I would have been happy with Ruby Red as well but this truck was equipped exactly the way I wanted and the choices among left-over 18's in my area were limited. Besides, the older I get the better I like colors that are easy to keep looking clean which is a big factor in the balmy, salt free NE. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the initial mix heavy in these colors or am I just getting unlucky? I dont want any of these non-colors. I want some color! ??♂️ Dealers are placing initial Ranger orders in the most popular vehicle colors... Black, White, Silver & Grey. Sometimes we wait to order other colors until we've actually seen what the color looks like. It also depends on how many vehicles a dealership has allocation for and how many they'll be able to stock depending on their volume, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 On 1/20/2019 at 7:42 PM, ford-boy said: All of the dealers near me have only fully optioned, 4WD Lariats. I'm looking for an XLT, 2WD. I'll wait to test drive one until a 2WD comes in. I'm wondering if the dealers are actually ordering this way or Ford is requiring them to take the Lariats for bigger margins. Initial scheduling and production was heavily geared toward Lariat SuperCrew 4WD's which shouldn't be surprising for a new model. Sales for an all new or redesigned model are strongest the first model year for the higher end trims as those first year buyers are the enthusiasts, image, impulse, etc. buyers. As production ramps up, inventory becomes available and other trim and equipment levels are more available it starts to balance out with a broader inventory mix. It takes some time.
