Prior to its launch but following its debut, the sixth-generation 2021 Ford Bronco was originally supposed to be offered with a Shadow Black-painted hardtop, in addition to other possible color options. As most Blue Oval fans are well aware by now, that never happened, as the pandemic and supply chain issues prompted the automaker to pare down its offerings to a Carbonized Gray molded-in color hardtop only, though two Bronco models now offer painted roof options – the Heritage Edition with its Oxford White top, and the just-revealed 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor Black Appearance Package with its Shadow Black piece. Now, Ford Authority has spotted a 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor equipped with a body-color roof – shortly after reporting that such a thing may soon become an option – signaling that more choices may be coming soon, too.
This 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor is finished in Cactus Gray and is equipped with the optional graphics package and Code Orange Appearance Package, which adds that particular tone to the graphics, wheel beadlock trim rings, and front tow hooks. The high-performance SUV is also equipped with body color-painted fender flares, which just became an option for the 2024 model year due to customer feedback.
Of course, the most interesting thing about this 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor is the fact that its hardtop is also finished in Cactus Gray, which isn’t currently an option. This doesn’t necessarily confirm that Ford plans to offer customers the option of adding a body-color roof to their Bronco Raptor, but this model is equipped with manufacturer plates, so it seems like a good possibility.
Either way, it certainly seems as if Ford is past its hardtop woes, given the availability of two painted options currently, coupled with the fact that customers just gained the opportunity to purchase a MIC top from the automaker last month for the first time.
We’ll have more on the 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford Bronco news, Bronco Raptor news, and continuous Ford news coverage.
