That survey assumes the interior color doesn't clash with the exterior one. Stomach eruption king in my opintion . When is the Navy gonna run out of recycled piers?
Well at least my seats are black, not blue or any other funky color. Can't escape Blue plastics for some reason. But it's not that noticeable with the XL interior.

XL, BAP and Tremor interiors go best with EG.

Why does white depreciate so much?
It's a classic color

That's ok, I plan to keep it a long time.

I think most associate white with a fleet vehicle. Used fleet vehicles are seen as abused and worth less than one that wasn't used in a fleet.

In the south a white vehicle should sell much better than black though.

Correct, White is the king in the South. I bought a Yellow Honda S2000 years ago and it was the worst to sell. Everyone liked it but it was the most difficult to sell.

While Azure Gray would have been the proper choice to compliment the interior I have never once while owning an Eruption Green Ford (Bronco, now Maverick) felt the exterior clashed or didn't go with the interior.

Some of you don't remember the plush velour red/burgundy interiors of the 80s and early 90s.....

If you buy a new Maverick in 2025 intending to keep it for 5 years then you really need a depreciation chart based on questionable statistics for the year 2030.

P.S. Everyone knows that Velocity Blue is the best color.

Exactly,
Color preference ebbs and flows.
OMG, there was a lot of years when you could not give a way a green vehicle. And that… is why I will never own one. It reminds me of 1970’s TV.

And that is why I own a white MAv. IT will always be non-offensive.

Velocity. Would have been my color choice as well.
All my Pickups had been,
White 1985 Ranger
Blue (Lapis, very close to Velocity) 1994 Ranger
White 2008 Ranger..
The First Maverick, I got to see and touch was exactly what I found in Indiana...
"Blue" Again ... :ROFLMAO:

Personally feel that Atlas is nicer than Velocity, and Eruption Green is nicer than Atlas. But any blue doesn't add value.

Saw this new article on resale values based on how color affects resale value.

Looks like for 2025, Eruption green will be the resale king!

weird that green retains more of its value in that green color vehicles only account for about 2 percent of overall vehicle sales, you'd think that if green holds it's value so well then why are only 1 out of 50 of them being sold?

Manufacturers rarely offer it anymore. The take rate of Green on Mavericks is pretty high.
