It will be going to wildtrak and fe orders first for those that want to wait. It came with those models prior to them realizing they would have production timeline issues due to the interest. It will be available at a later date for parts counter and vehicle orders. Probably 2022.
What color Outer Banks are you getting?
I'm sure we get a couple of more pages of rants and rages about black hardtop late availability. ?
I see a bunch of Wildtrak's with the soft top (BLACK) lately, and I'd sure like to get that top, while I wait on the Black Modular... but it's not currently an offered option (maybe Ford will change the Build and Price to offer the matching color soft top) on the Wildtrak and FE trim... or if we accept a Late delivery, is that a year late, like November-2021, like it infers in the newest Ford (Dealer build sheet) correspondence.It will be going to wildtrak and fe orders first for those that want to wait.

Everything else is the same. That was one of the differences with trims. The top delays are due to production constraints and limitations due to more interest than previously regarded. If you had an fe or wildtrak reserved and chose the mod top at order you will not get a vehicle until they are available and scheduled for your build.
Ok. So, the question was: can we get the same Black soft top that is being shown on the recent Wildtrak’s?
Yes they changed the grille after the fact. My guess is because of the top constraint they didn’t want wildtrak buyers to stray. So they blacked it out. There is a reason there was only 1 bronco being displayed with a black top. By the way it didn’t look good on the black 2 door badlands.. I don’t know about the soft top. I doubt it. I was never a wildtrak guy. It’s just a blackout package minus some parts. An fe is an optioned out badlands with a shitty interior.
Since I can't get the vintage look one that was teased in cactus gray with the white top, I think I might switch to the Wildtrax and wait for the painted black top and have the body wrapped in a military green. If I decide for sure to have it wrapped, I will just order it in onyx so when the doors are opened the black will ok. I'm still deliberating really...but I just don't love the color choices.
I loooove your plan
I have an FE reserved and I've been wondering the same thing about Ford definitely having the option to wait (would rather be patient and get what I want) for the painted black top, and if this will be clearly spelled out when we go to oder, which I now understand will be through our Ford account.
It also depends on your slot. If you are early reserved you will get it sooner when available. First deliveries are June. I would just say assume November before 22 production start for deliveries with mod top for your worst case. Only ford knows when they schedule. It depends on if the initial reservations stay true to form. There is not going to be a 75% conversion. If it is 40% I see them being a May or June add which is July or August for earliest delivery with a mod top. Don’t hold your breath though. There may be other commodity restraints. So can you wait a year?
