I have a Ranger twin just around the block from me. Supercab too. Mines better looking with the accessories of course. His looks to be plain from the factory.
A lot more if them out there now but I don't think they outnumber the older ones yet. I still see more of those during my travels by about 3 to 1.

There is also a twin to my Edge that I see around about every other week. Right down to the bug deflector and window vents. I've mistaken it for wife while driving by.

In the past 6 months I'm seeing more Rangers in my area. Still no Saber ones except this visitor from FL. He'll be gone soon and I'll still have a unicorn. ?

I see one from time to time on HWY 51, going Northbound around 3pm or so. She moves very fast and I only get a brief glimpse as she streaks by me.
Must be damperized, as she really likes to show off the extra HP.

I think I went 2 days when I found a velocity blue XLT ranger coming out of a quiet side street in the next small town over.

So there is at least 2 of us. not surprising, as most dealership around me have been ordering at least 1 a month.

Almost got the catcus gray myself, but it was sold before I could nab it.
My neighbor has the velocity blue Ranger Screw. 2 months later I got opal white scab. Velocity blue seems to be popular color in my area with approx 3 or 4 5g Rangers in my neighborhood

I see the Handicap plate. Did they drive to Arizona for a professional Dual damper install? ?
Maybe that's why they have the handicap plate? ?:oops:

Well, I can honestly say there is no one running this color scheme near me. I can't stop for fuel without someone asking what kinda truck it is and where can they get one. Ford should really offer something in this color range. Just my opinion, but not everyone's cup of tea. However, I do like the ? gray. I've been seeing more of them here in the FL panhandle.

I dearly believe in Henry Ford's famous words, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black."

When I drive my mom to appointments or the store and I'm just sitting in the truck waiting on her I've had people state how nice it looks and ask "What is it?"

I've not found another Race Red or seen a Saber in the wild yet. Rapid Red and Cactus Grey seem to be the most popular around me but even those aren't common.

I don't think I've seen a Race Red here either. Almost every one is either white & silver and I've seen some gray ones too. I'd still like to see a Cactus Gray. Those that post pictures here it looks like a really nice color on the Ranger.

So went to the box store today, did a little shopping and when I came out there was a white lariat parked next to mine. Load up my stuff and jump into the captain’s chair and look over at the white one across the passenger seat. This older woman is smiling at me while dropping her window. So I drop my passenger window and she starts chatting me up. Asked he how long she’s had it and it’s all of a week old. She got it from same dealer and salesman as mine. Good times, she didn’t look like the old lady from Pasadena type though… Could be wrong there though ?

I’ve seen several Cactus Gray Rangers & Broncos. To me, that color looks better on the Ranger.

I agree for some reason it just looks weird on the Bronco, not sure if it's the square shaped body? On the Ranger it looks really nice especially the pictures of them the snow.
