To Recaro or not to Recaro?

[pierceography]

Shocking how many dealers are stocked with 19s without recaros I do not get it.
Take a stupid hood sticker off and throw recaros in . I have seen only 1 dealer stock with recaros and ive looked quite a bit online locally

This is speculation, but speculation based on quite a bit of supporting evidence: It seems the Recaros are causing delays. Myself and several others who ordered Recaros have had orders kicked down the road by Ford. Seems the supply isn't able to meet the demand.

So it's very likely you're not seeing dealer orders with Recaros due to the delay.

And let's face it, dealers love the stickers. You can spot the dealer ordered Raptors a mile away by the bedside graphics.

This is true, so I’m thinking when this delay stops they will start stocking trucks with recaros then

You are not alone... the Blue color already has a "dingy" hue to it, and over time it can only become more so.

And that's why they make chocolate and vanilla icecream. Some people like silver, black, red exteriors and others find those colors hideous.

My point is... Why would you offer an option that only goes with half of your color options? I know you can get it with Blue paint, but that starts to look like your trying to match and the match game only works if the colors are nearly identical... two different Blues don't go together. Might as well stop by Pep Boys on your way home and find some other Blue bits to put on it to go with the Blue seats and Blue paint.

So what color would go with all the paint options? The standard seats are already black/gray.

My preference would be to offer multiple color choices for the Recaros. Black or Gray inserts would obviously go with any color and be the most popular, Blue is fine, a Red hue is probably the only other color that could work, but of course that one would still be limited to Black, White, Gray, and Silver paint.

Baller makes a good point.

The first gen in white with the blue interior was a very popular color combo.

The blue stitching was pretty much everywhere on the gen 1. On gen 2 not so much. I know some people will still like it on any color regardless.
