Sonic blue not available

I am sure disappointed that the sonic blue color is not available in a new ford truck anymore. I have this color on my older 96F150and I just loved it now Ford dropped this color from there color scheme. I now have to settle on the other blue colors that I don't like as well. I wonder why Ford dropped this color. I just loved it. Oh well maybe they will bring it back next year. This may sound silly but i think color really makes the truck. Maybe they didn't sell many trucks with that color. Anybody out ther no.Thanks

It is still available on other vehicle lines (05 Escape) so I would wait and see if it will be available next year if it is that crucial.

I was disapointed that I could not have the Dark blue metalic on my Lariat. I settled for the Medium wedgewood blue. Everyone that comments on the truck seems to mention the color first. I'm glad I have the color now. I sure turn a lot of heads. That feels pretty good at my age,even though they are looking at the rig.

Guys, didn't you know that Ford will paint your vehicle ANY COLOR you want? There's just one condition: you have to get 24 of your friends to want the same truck, in the same color.

Seriously, Ford will do any color you want as long as we order 25 of them at a time.

Never thought about it, but the new F-150 would be AWESOME in Sonic Blue!

Hey 1956MarkII Do you have any idea why they dropped that color. My guess is that they didnt have to much call for that color. Sounds like Imight be in luck though. Maybe I should just buy 25 of themand sell the other 24. Have to think on that one.

My vision shows me a medium blue. I do not know why, but one guy said it changes from grey to peach color? What the heck was he smoking? It is strange the number of people that see different colors in it. They normaly ask me "what color is that?"

My answer "blue"

markII, try explaining to my wife 25 vehilcles in my driveway. Good luck!

Jeff,

Could you broker a deal with several other dealerships to get to the 25 unit figure?

Nope. All 25 orders have to come from one dealer. So, when you've rounded up 24 of your friends that have agreed to buy the same color truck, you know where to find me!

Wait a minute- I think there might be a way. One dealer would have to order the 25, but they all don't have to be delivered to that dealer. NOW I understand your question! Get 25 orders from around the country, order through one location and then drop-ship them where they need to go. Getting the other dealers to go along would be impossible, but it works in theory. If only it were a perfect world..............
