Posted this afternoon by BN Mods:

What items will likely delay my Bronco from being built sooner?

· Hard top
· Sasquatch package
· Tow package
· 2.7L engine

Chips are Not an issue with Bronco:
I've been suffering under the understanding that the hard top constraint was for the modular painted hard top only, not the MIC top. Are both hard tops on the constrained list?

I originally ordered my 4-door OB with the soft top, but changed to the MIC hard top when I realized the soft top configuration didn't include the wiring & plumbing connections for the MIC top I intended to purchase later.

I'm pretty amazed the number of people who don't seem to recognize that this is not a Bronco-specific or even Ford-specific problem. It's the entire automobile industry. Commodity constraints everywhere. Dealer lots are empty.

And it's not just the automobile industry. Tried to buy lumber lately?

So, yeah, I'll defend Ford a little here.
Seriously, lumber prices.... gheesh. Almost 6x what they were in November.

On the bright side, if you like gambling, then might I suggest some retail trading right now. The highs and lows are awesome in the markets (commodities, weed, crypto). Just make sure to close your investments before year 1 after investment ends since the guv'ment plans to change taxes on cap. gains. (Not investment advice, just gambling advice.)

The Mod top is not constrained - it is not available. Different problem.

The MIC top is constrained - meaning they have them, and are getting them, but they'll be a bottleneck for a while. There will be some (emphasis on some, not all) builds that get pushed back a week or two (or more, who knows?) because they are waiting for more tops from Webasto.

Same with tow package. Same with Sasquatch components (no idea which component(s) is the problem), etc.

Me too. Ford's problem is having a pretty much new tire instead of using one that is readily available and has been out and tested.
There are not a ton of "readily available" tires. My wife is a VP at one of the large tire companies. Their CSLs (that's fulfillment rates to retailers) are like 51% (when normal targets are 95% to 98%). Commodities are crushing every industry. (I work for a large Pet Food company, and our CSLs are also ~60% with similar targets.) It's just tough out there for pretty much most manufacturers. I really feel for the women and men in supply procurement. Commodities are a schizophrenic nightmare out there.

So a Base with Sasquatch and 2.3 and no tow will be built early.
MAKE MY DAY.

Thanks Woo. My fault on the Mod top, I knew that & should have been more careful with my wording. I really wanted the soft top but can't do without the hard top connections so I'll wait patiently (ha!). I speced my OB with the Lux package, glad to see that's off the constrained list at least.

In the boat with you - Badlands with MIC and Lux (and tow). Not gonna sacrifice the wiring for the hard top, so will hope the constraints don't push me back much, but glad to hear chips aren't a problem!

As is always the case with partial information:
2 Door Badlands Manual with Trailer hitch, 7/14 early AM reservation.
1 to 3 of 4 depending on if the 2 Door MIC and the Badlands suspension are part of Hard Top and Sasquatch shortages.

I’m pretty sure the guy was kidding about the tires

even if you sell before one year thats taxed next year and most likely will include the taxes....
