IMO, the Shelter Green polishes up real nice and would be my choice between the 2

Are you saying the marsh gray is easier to keep clean looking? I'm into that.
Marsh grey has been the best for me at not showing dirt as well. I live in the sticks so it’s always dusty as soon as I get it how. From the wash. Can hardly see the dust in it. Thick dirt will show though after I take it through my muddy field but that will show on just about anything.

Nice, what wheels are those?
Method 705s, 25.2lbs by mfg. spec, my cheapo bathroom scale confirmed that weight, so as far as off-road wheels go, these are pretty lightweight, but the spoke design is still pretty meaty for hard use.

Ford sells Method 703's for the Bronco's and lots of people use the 703's on the RR. 705 is the same wheel but with a different spoke design. Same size and offset, has bead grip tech, but it's lighter than most other options out there.

Personally, I really like the spoke design, I think it fits the boxy industrial body style of the RR.

Also the SGM color changes a lot depending on the lighting, without direct sunlight it's more of a dark "army green" look, giving it somewhat of a stealthy look:

But in the sun, it really glows a beautiful metallic green with gold flakes, the Method Titanium grey color kind of has a similar chameleon effect, they look really dark without direct sunlight, but then brighten up a lot in the sun, so in my opinion it just vibes with the SGM RR:

Marsh Grey is a great color too and it was my second pick, I don't think you can go wrong with either aside from Marsh Grey maybe being a bit easier to keep looking clean...then again it's a truck so I say get it dirty and just have fun with it. There's always a car wash after.

So...If you don't like the look of the dirt that shows, why buy a truck the color of that dirt? 🤔 LOL!!

Brought the Marsh Gray home today. Color looked awesome in the sun. Numbers lined up. My biggest hang up was telling the wife. She's over it now. Plus I felt a little uneasy trading in a perfectly good 5G XLT. But the drive home helped ease that.:)
We're gonna miss you over at Ranger5g!

I just purchased a 2026 Ranger Lariat in Marsh Grey. Very distinctive color. Everyone that has seen it really likes the color.

Awesome! Congrats! My wife and I took it out today. She's over the shock and loves the color!
