From my friend that is a designer at Chrysler:

The camo is designed to mess with camera lenses. The goal is to not see these cars in the magazines. The car you saw may have design features that are not known yet. Hard to say but camo is hard to remove and underneath may be mismatched panels or poor paint.

This reminds me of of the WW2 “dazzle” camo. https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/dazzle-ships/

I think it would be cool if Ford would offer that paint scheme

OP added more pictures since the thread was posted. based on the bolted on rear fender flares and holes where a wing would be mounted on the trunk, im guessing this is an old pre-production unit they just never took the camo off. probably those other reasons too

I know Ford & other manufactures have used Hoosier pass between Breckenridge and Fairplay & Mount Evans and Pikes Peak Roads as their high altitude test drive.
The GM Corvette has been seen on Hoosier Pass in the summer as well as Ford F150’s.
I saw five F-150’s all in a row going up Hoosier Pass.
They were all painted Silver with no emblems or name plates with Michigan license plates.
i’ve also seen Audi in camouflage on top of Mount Evans in the summer.
I looked inside the Audi and everything was camouflage except for the steering wheel.
Mt Evans will be closed next summer because the roads are horrible and have to be repaved.
Mt Evans is over 14,000 ft. elevation.
several years ago on top of Mount Evans, I met a gentleman and his wife who built mustangs at the Flat Rock Plant. very interesting. Yes, they were driving a Red Mustang.
There was a brand new Porsche Cayenne that wouldn’t start at the high altitude and they had to push it down the hill to get it started. I felt bad for the Youngsters in their Porsche. The car still had a paper sticker on it.
Enough Said.
