Would anyone else have preferred Cyber Orange as a color option?

I see the Broncos and Mach-Es and that color just looks so much cooler than the standard colors the Lightning got. And while I appreciate the intent behind "Resale Value Red/Black/Silver/White," I'd much rather enjoy the vehicle as I'm driving it, not for how much I can get for it later.

Maybe if enough people are onboard, we can start a "CYBER ORANGE F-150 Lightning Photos & Club thread" with fake pictures photoshopping beds on the Bronco, and Mr. Farley will be inspired to give us cool colors...

I think it would be great with a big TONKA across the back...

I expect to see the occasional F150 sporting a wrap.

If I had my way, I would go with this colour scheme, but it is far too expensive:

I'm not a fan of orange colored vehicles. It's just too "out there" unless it's on a hypercar. I'd at least like to see color parity with the ICE F150s. I think I would have chosen space white over star white.

I saw that about a month ago and tried to get my wife to see if we could wrap her Mach E like that. She didn't like it though. She is stuck on red.

Absolutely would like to have seen some more "modern" colors like Area 51 or Cactus Gray, which even the Maverick has. Both Atlas Blue and Rapid Red and any of the other "bold" colors that we have on the f-150 are actually quite old-school looking, compared to more modern vehicles like Rivian.

Absolutely - wife I could could have his and hers orange (it is a great color). None of the available colors on the Lightning really do anything for me - would have loved more options that aren't black/white/silver/grey

No. I've got an Area 51 Bronco and a Rapid Red Mach-E (that will be traded for the Lightning) and Cyber Orange is far and away my least favorite color on either model. To each his own. I call it school bus orange.

It is darker than school busses. Parked ours next to one to check!

If you want to attract F-150 ICE customers, use standard colors. If you want to attract EV buyers, use modern colors. They did both, which limited choice for each group. As an EV buyer, I hope I like IBS.

Many people HATE orange (not sure why), so given you are choosing options for only a portion of your buyers, why segment it more with orange.

Since pretty much every Lightning is going to be custom ordered for the next year or so (at least), why not offer the full palet of colors. Charge extra if you need to for "specialty" colors. I would gladly have paid extra for a color I really liked.
