Cactus Gray XL Maverick with steelies.

I'm really excited to get Cactus - I think it looks good with the XLT and higher trim rims (love it with the blackout FX4 rims I'll be getting), but...I would not pick this color with an XL trim! The steel rims in silver are just not a good matchup. Area51 on the other hand looks quite good with the steelies.

I agree, it’s one of those colors that change based on lighting and backgrounds. Or maybe I need a new set of glasses.Hmm.

Wheels are pretty easy to paint. I'll decide if I will or not when I see my Cactus Gray XL in person.

Totally agree.

Nothing that some black plastidip and some wheel skins couldn't fix for less than a hundred bucks.

Saw this color in person a couple days ago and man, I do love it! Only frustration is how much better the XLT wheels look with it then the Lariat wheels. I really hate messing around with wheel swaps but I may have to make an exception.

I agree which is why I got the XLT, I think the contrast looks good.

I think this is because of contrasting trim. The ranger had quite a bit of offering black trim, the bronco sport even more. That gives the overall look a darker feel. I think the fx4 maverick tires help here, and maybe some other trim or decal adds might help on the maverick. Not that I'm complaining!

the bottom valance of the Mav helps to provide contrast. FX sticker in red looks great on CG

Have you seen the new mach 1 CG?

It has a orange decal to it which will work pretty awesomely with the interior of XLT

Yea I think the orange accents will look perfect with cactus grey

A loaded Cactus Gray Lariat hybrid on order. Awaiting the build date.

Just the painted XLT wheels , I originally wanted an XL but the steel wheels look cheap

I just wish they could have a carbonized Cactus grey like some of the flat, dark grey I’ve seen on some Tacos

I would be in on that.

I agree! I'm contemplating going with a highlighter accent color though. Plastidip comes in a couple of 'blaze' colors which are basically highlighter green/yellow/orange/blue. I have a blue can in my garage I think repainting the FX4 with blue or yellow would be pretty good, and maybe a thin stripe, or offset grill color to match (something like the BMW M series blue/red grill stripes - not a lot, just a little).

And don't make me get the front tow hooks powder coated -)
