As stated, I do not know what they are saving, but I hope they are making good use of it.[/quote]
That is about red as you are going to get with Ford Motor Co. GM and Mopar have different shades too. Before you know it, you will have several different "reds" or something other in the fleet. We ran into that problem year’s back and switched to white for all no apparatus. Hard to tell a different shade of white unless you get some "creams" shades!
Unless you are buying a lot of sedans, vans, SUV’s, and having them painted a special color, the cost is very high for a few.
The explorers are too small for the BC’s. Richmond tried them and the Tahoe’s and went back to the Suburban model, for the room they needed.
