I just received my cactus grey 5G and mannnn does it look sweet and not show dirt! I’d go with cactus grey again in a heartbeat. That green looks neat too, but it bet it’s a pain to keep clean

I dig the Cactus for sure but I have always liked green. The looking clean longer is a definite plus.

Any pics in different light of yours you can share?

Shelter green metallic? I see brown. I like it a lot though. It looks like a root beer brown. I think it looks awesome. I'm not into the paste green/blue colors that are the current trend. But what do I know, I drive Ford Oxford white every purchase. Haha...

It’s was cloudy when I took all my pictures (thanks Alaska spring) but as soon as it clears up I’ll be taking lots of pictures! Other guys on here have some nice photos of their cactus grey rangers, maybe check Chris’s Cactus Grey Overland Build Thread Chris’s Ranger

id take either one but i am a little let down that the new rangers seem to be limited in color choices. i was hoping that new generation of rangers would offer more new colors.

Ford color renderings are notoriously bad. I know because I have Azure Gray Metallic and it looks nothing like the renderings Ford was using. Luckily, I loved it when I saw it in person. Just saying that it's a bit of a gamble choosing a new color based solely on a rendering. But, if it were me, I'd go with a metallic vs. non-metallic.

After looking at the pics in the above thread, you are correct. It looks nothing like the rendering.

Thanks @TheNorseman for the link.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Is this seriously a thread? Asking what color?

It's freaking obvious.
