Guessing vinyl?

The red/white is very retro, but the lack of pinstripe outlining adds a simplistic, more modern interpretation.

its a fail IMHO.

when trying to replicate the old style, they missed the mark on many points. Theres a bunch of late model F150 that fail in this regard too.
I get it, it's unique, but the unfinished ends and the height of the white does not do it justice and honor the history.
Sorry, but you are wrong. It looks great....I'd love to have that!

I used to own a Bronco in the 1980's that had something similar but the white was on the top and bottom, and the sides were silver. Yes it would have looked better in my opinion if they run the white up the pillars and round the front.

This will look good on a new Bronco, but the Ranger front end is too curvy to support this. I wish that wasn’t the case.

Not my style. If they had the lower front white to continue the flow around it would look better. To me it looks like the frontend was swapped with one from a different truck. Like that red Accord cruising around town with a black front left fender... ?

I think the white should continue under the grille but include the red "ribbon" that you see around the headlights to boarder the grille for a more finished appearance. Classy truck!
In the 70s and 80s, this would have been called a "deluxe" two tone. There was also a "combination" two tone that on this Ranger would have had added a white roof. Plus the "rocker" two tone which is just the rocker panel only, and I think there was also a roof-only two tone in some years.

I like it as is, but I do agree that maybe they should have continued the white to the front as well, below the headlights. Both would be cool.

There was a thread here on Ranger5g on this posted about 6 months ago, with a bunch more photo's of the truck sitting at the dealership.

Damned if I can find it though
