2024 Ford Ranger Lariat w/FX4 and 2.7L EcoBoost
My first vehicle was black. After that I swore I’d never get another black car, and in 25 years I haven’t.

Are they all the same trim? Do any have the appearance packages (black or chrome)? Integrated step? Interior colour?

I need up with Iconic Silver, because it was the only one I could find with the options I wanted (Lariat, FX4, 2.7), as well as some nice to haves (bedliner, advanced tow, steps). I would have preferred colour (hot pepper red would be my first choice), but I think the silver does look good (especially with the grey grille and fender mouldings Of the Sport appearance packages).

I haven’t seen it in person, but if I were in your shoes I’d probably go Cactus Grey, though

Barring surprises, I'm planning to buy a new 2024 Ranger this weekend. The dealer is offering $5K off, close to $9K compared to the equivalent 2025. They have 3 equivalent trucks available, each with 2.7L engine, FX4, trailer towing package and running boards. One is black, one is silver and one is cactus gray. I like black, but the cactus gray is a little different. Which would you choose?
Cactus gray, dare to be different. You see a ton of black and silver pickups everywhere. It think the Cactus grey will age better. No matter what you choose you are getting a fun truck, you really can't go wrong.

Yup...my thoughts as well. I was tempted by the silver truck, which was better looking than I expected. But I went with the cactus gray for all the reasons you mentioned. Brought it home yesterday, and the family loves the color!

Good choice on the Cactus Gray. 2024 was the last year for Cactus Gray and Iconic Silver. I got in a rush to get my Ranger as soon as one showed up at the dealer and ended up getting Carbonized Gray. I like the color, but even that gets hot in the sun. When leaving home one afternoon, with outside temp around 87, dash temp read 113. I don't ever remember seeing that high of a temp in my white '21. Thank god for remote start.

Had my share of black vehicles. My last was a 22 Camaro which was black. I told myself I would not get another black car again. Had 2 blue Challengers so had to go back to Velocity Blue on my Ranger. It reminds me of my 09 B5 Blue Challenger R/T. Beautiful blue esp when in direct sunlight.
