Blue Crush Metallic Thread

I could have gotten mine in a manual. Only reason I didn’t is a left leg injury

 

I've had an auto 2022 and it shifted great and I got 24mpg with it but it was an sr work truck and I wanted a blue 4x4 manual.

 

That color looks close to the Cobalt Blue on the 96 I use to have. Some people thought that color looked purple too.

 

This was the first daily driver I've bought with an auto in 25 years. It's not the best auto in the world, but any wishes I had gotten a manual have still been fleeting.

 

I just signed a deal yesterday for a 2023 access cab 6A TRD off road in Blue Crush. I have a mint 2017 with only 32,800 km on it. I don't know what came over me lol, but they had one in the show room and the colour really got to me. Got a great price for my trade. My new truck will be here sometime late February. I'll post a photo when I get the truck.

 

Welcome to the Blue Crush AC club!

 

Congrats!!

 

His first dusting. Pretty steep incline/declines in blue ridge mountains. The Ridge Grapplers did just fine. saw a lot of mixed reviews about them. no issue in light snow, ice and a torrential downpour on the way home today. The tahoe next too me on the other hand, found himself off road involuntarily. I'm glad i didn't have to take a stab at that puddle.

Love this truck and I didn't realize how much i missed stick.

 

Here is my blue beauty, brand new and just got it today. MT OFF ROAD. Love it.

 

Same as mine lol nice!

 

Congrats!

Did you spec it out yourself? Curious how long you had to wait for a 2023.

I was at around 4 months just to get my 2022 with a couple compromises if I wanted that blue.

 

I went into a dealership here in Alberta on Saturday looking to trade in my Model Y for a Tacoma (had enough of Elon's antics) and lucky for me they had one incoming in less than 2 weeks - TRD Sport Premium in Blue Crush. I really wanted Lunar Rock but I can't be picky given how lucky I got to get one so soon. So here I am lurking these forums trying to get a sense of what the color is like. I had a 22 Lunar Rock 4Runner which I absolutely loved and should have not traded it in for the Tesla... you live and learn...

 

Picked up my TRD sport today. Gotta say the colors really growing on me!

I did not spec it out myself. I wanted the tech package but there was a mix up so I didn’t get that. Which I am fine with though, my car was losing value so i needed to do something fast. I never owned anything newer than 1996 except the car I traded in that I had for 3 years 2014 VW JETTA WAGON. So I am used to not having all the bells and whistles anyways. The truck did come with the led package so I was happy about that. I haven’t had a MT in years but love it. I am still getting used to reverse being on the left. I keep throwing it into 6th sometimes when trying to reverse. I don’t regret not waiting. I got it a week after calling the dealerships since someone backed out of it. The other dealership said it would at least be a couple months for MT or a long bed(only way I would do automatic) I love the truck and couldn’t be happier. Well maybe after modding it some. I feel like a kid when I drive now. I didn’t want blue at first until I saw this thread when he said it was available. This thread made me want that color only!

 

Ok somehow I botched that reply. Newbie. How do I reply to someone’s comment? Thanks for the love!

 

My truck before this one. I am tired of diesels but I sure will miss that old beauty once I sell it.

 

The blue crush is a magnificent color but I love blue so I'm biased!

One of the best looking fords imo from 91-94

 

My wife had a MK6 JSW! I had a MK6 Golf at the same time and we dumped them back with VW during dieselgate. We enjoyed them for what they were!
