You would think so, but as a former Doze owner and current Baja owner, it amazes many if use how many times people still ding them, pull into our lane, or walk in front of them.

My current JKU Baja A-X was less than 1,000 kms old and a kid in a BMW sideswiped the front bumper (earned a free swap from body colour to black front fenders). Itā€™s truly amazing anyone could miss Dozer, Baja, Sunset, Crush, Geko, Mojito, etc but it happens, and I expect more of the same with Nacho unfortunately.
Yup and sadly thereā€™s people out there that can still manage to run into emergency vehicles as well :facepalm:

The color is not my thing but of course I'm totally ok with it being someone else's.

What I'd really like though is to be a fly on the wall at FCA when color choices and timing their release is being made. How much of the decision is market analysis? How much is price margin. How much is part of the give and take of corporate execs?......

Definitely not Dozer, right? Looks more orange and less school bus.
Depends on the lighting, it can shift quite a lot in pictures... and in person. Looks very Dozer to me, but Iā€™ve seen it in many different lighting situations.

Dozer Brand New (tyres still shining) no sun fading/bleaching, no filter.

Ape: you always provide great color commentary: words or pictures based.

I hope Sting Gray looks similar to Anvil in real life!

You might be disappointed, I donā€™t know if this has changed (been away for a bit) but last I knew, I thought StingGray was supposed to be lighter than Granite, so likely not looking very Anvil-esque.

... plus Anvil has a hint of blue in it of course.

Itā€™s gonna be hard for someone to say ā€œDidnā€™t see you there.ā€
Def a color that screams...here I come bitches!!! heh...

Actually a nice color but I like to tread around up in the hills or to family property and don't need everyone to know I'm there. :bandit:

Looks good. Missing my Baja that was totaled three months in by a kid who also couldnā€™t see a bright yellow jeep in front of him.
Now Iā€™ve got to decide between Nacho and Hella Yella. But if Hella Yella is only available in a special ed Rubi, I might be priced out of it.

Except if you are in the Kraft parking lot, when their Mac&Cheese factory explodes. The rescue workers might not find you until after several lunches.
