After watching that Vid, I'm happy I picked CG. AGM is nice, but not what I thought it would be.

That drivers side fender really looks silver/gray...



I wonder if it is filters on the cameras that are changing the look... It does look more like the lightening render than the ranger render...



Also, watching this video and the features Ford included in the new MY of the SD trucks... Wow, when things like a handhold and step on the bed are features worthy of more than a brief mention.... I wow... I know, it's a different segment and customer... But still...

And here's another version if you haven't already had enough (just need to watch the intro shots). This one is interesting because it's not under the bright studio lights.

Scroll down to the 360 colorize...


https://www.ford.com/trucks/super-duty/2023/


Edit: the ranger has the same colorize on its website... But it is listed as Azure Gray, not Azure Gray Metallic like to SD... I know that may be just an error, but the colors look vastly different (AG Bronco vs AGM SD)

This is all very strange. Even the AG and AGM color chips look different between the Ranger and SD. But, I do believe the AG (vs. AGM) is an error since we've seen no mention of a flat AG anywhere in the press. You can be sure I'll be looking closely at my paint to make sure it is metallic!

Edit: And why are the color chips in the Colorize section "two tone" vs. in the B&P section where they are a solid color?

Update from Ford - estimated build date is now 10/27, with the estimated delivery still the same at the week of 11/8. The original build date provided was 10/19, then to 10/22. Confidence will still remain so long we don't receive any of those more profound delayed build email notices from Ford, which the MY22 seemed to receive a lot of.

You got that by calling Ford actual? Or from your dealer?

Seems like you should be seeing an email soon from Ford notifying you of the build week change?

That's from Ford customer service. Haven't reached out to my dealer yet. Have you noticed any differences between dealer vs Ford, if you've tried?

I haven't tried, I just email my sales guy and wait for his response...

I monitor the blue oval forum, and just sort of adjust off of that... Ie my build date was 10/17 to start, and now the first build week has been pushed a week... So I imagine I'll get built sometime between the 24th and 31st...

I just hope it gets delivered before December... We're roadteipping from South Florida to Colorado to scout a move next year and I'd much prefer to drive the ranger than a subi...

Gotcha, that's probably a good indicator as well.

I'm right there with you. I'll be very happy if it arrives before mid-December. Like you, I'd rather have the Ranger for my trip from Denver to Jackson (Edit: WY) over the holidays. Whereabouts in CO are you scouting?

Outskirts of Denver... Really, we're looking for a good school district for our daughter and we'll figure it out from there...

Our house down here is worth 2x what we paid for it, and that's still ~2/3rds what a house out there will cost us... And if we try for one of the well rated school districts, we're in the 750k+ range (out of our price range)

Where are you out there? (edit:I see Denver, any particular area of Denver?)

Which Jackson, Mississippi?
