In my area it is Black, White, Red, and Grey/Silver. Not much else selling. Do you want to blend in or stand out? Do you want popular colors at resale or not? Concerned with heat reflection? Are you accessorizing? To me, Desert Sand is more regional, Carbonized Gray has broader appeal. If I lived in Arizona again or SW, Desert Sand. If not, Carbonized Gray. Black interior with both. Lighter interiors show stains more than Black to me, especially from shoes on the trim at door entries.

Pulled back from the order.
I looked at some of the wait times from others who ordered.
YIKES!
I'm going to search and see what colors may be available on the lots.
Marsh and Avalanche I found not too far away.

My dealer in Springfield Va had 6 in stock when I bought mine a month ago. They are out there; I got mine under MSRP on my 2025. I could not get under MSRP on 2026, which is fine as I like my mirror turn signals.:like:

I moved the front tires to appear like a leveled lift.
Both colors look great to me.
What do you think?

Carbonized gray metallic. I refused the tan. Also, spend $250 for the bed steps!

I ordered Desert Sand with Sandstone interior (XLT) on 01/31/26. It shipped on 03/28/26 and will be in my hands by 04/11/26. It will also have the bed steps.

That's not too bad a wait.

I'm finding that I need to keep options opened if I want a Ranger sooner.
Different color maybe.
Avalanche with a leveling kit:

As many have observed, buy a 2026, and you are paying more for less. If you see a 2025 that you like, buy it.

Velocity Blue and each of the Reds are sharp too. Dirty Snow, Swamp Mud, Desert Dust, Azure Primer, Cactus Juice, Brown Green, Carbonized Conformity, Men In Black, Dull Silver, or Boring White, get what appeals to you!
