Since they did away with velocity blue which I think is a mistake just my personal opinion I would say the next best blue is Atlas Blue 💙

What’s better, Apple pie or cherry pie?

Both are good. Depends on mood as to which is chosen to consume at any given time.

I actually got HPR last year because I didn't like how bright velocity is... But Atlas is just darker enough so got Atlas this year... Would love a blue halfway between Atlas and Alto!

The Velocity Blue is obviously the best color, but since you 2023 orders can't get the best color...Atlas. 😎

I agree with person who said Cactus looks good on an overcast day, but washed out on a sunny one. I originally wanted CG until I saw it in both lighting conditions. I've seen two Rangers in the Atlas blue -- it's a striking color. In a parking lot full of vehicles it's the one your eye will always be drawn to.

Tough choice! When ordering my MY22 Mav I liked both the Velocity blue and Cactus Gray colors. If Atlas blue would have been available it would have been right in the mix. I went with Cactus Gray for a couple of reasons - 1) my current car at the time was blue so I wanted a change and 2) I felt the Cactus Gray would look better when considering the Navy Pier blue interior. In my opinion, Cactus Gray complements the interior nicely. I also like the contrast with the black plastic trim and tires.

I would prefer "Atlas Blue" to "Velocity Blue" but like them both, but then entails my problem. For me, it's the type of color that I would love when I first see it, but I don't believe I would enjoy looking at it in my garage over a span of several years. I would choose Cactus Gray, or Area 51 (which is what I ordered). Also, really like the Carbonized Gray. Looks great in person.

I’ve had variations of the blue and like it.
I get compliments all the time of people liking cg that I rarely got with the blue.

I've always wanted a blue truck. And it will live in a garage most of the time anyway.

Cactus Gray, I actually love how it changes color slightly based on the lighting conditions. Also goes excellent with interior as well as black wheels. But really it’s a coke/pepsi question, you like what ya like.

Both look great. I ordered Cactus after seeing a Bronco with the same color. Not part of the question, but I loved the Alto Blue. Kinda wished I would've gotten that.
