I agree!!!!You all with VINs and build dates need to go post on your own thread. Not sure why this even impacts you. Day 2 res here just trying to figure out what to do with this news. I desperately want one, but was planning on doing aftermarket soft top so want MIC. I haven't received any emails since I ordered, so I have to use B6G as my source of info. I don't want to hear anymore complaining about your dates getting pushed. At least you know what year you will be getting it!
Except you have to let your dealer know by July 16th if you want that free wiring. So just let your dealer know asapThere’s a good chance if you don’t change it to Soft top you won’t get it this year if you don’t have a date. If you change it now you likely will get a build date before September and thus won’t get the hard top kit. So if I were you I’d wait until late August and flip to Soft top to get it ASAP with the kit or I’d just say F it and get it when I get it.
Yet I’ve yet to see anything scheduled for 60 days out.Yup that’s how it goes. Next week is FE week. Your missing the fact that scheduling is done 45-60 days out from build dates. Plant shutdown shift build dates back, thus production scheduling takes a pause as well.
So next week they will be scheduling August 15th through September 5th. Guess time will tell if that happens or another “Ford not scheduling this week” emailYup that’s how it goes. Next week is FE week. Your missing the fact that scheduling is done 45-60 days out from build dates. Plant shutdown shift build dates back, thus production scheduling takes a pause as well.
Yes it is.I'm a little confused. If I ordered the 2-door Base with the standard MIC hard top roof, is that the carbonized gray they are still offering to us?
I believe Elon Musk could give me a more solid estimate of when we will walk on Mars than Ford can of when I’ll get a Bronco.It’s started!
Here are the dealer FAQ’s as well:
Customer Communication FAQS – 6.25.2021
What roof options are available Broncos? See attached Updated Bronco Roof Options guide for a breakdown of each roof option, also available within the Bronco Dashboard → Additional Resources → Vehicle Information.
Why is the painted roof now pushed to late next year as a 23MY option? We are working as fast as we can to try and get through the hardtop roof Bronco bottleneck. We originally intended to build roughly 80% hardtops and 20% soft tops. That ratio is now closer to 60% hardtops and 40% soft tops. Our roof supplier is doing this by focusing all efforts on producing as many molded in color (MIC) hardtops as possible. The other versions of the top will come late next year. Our goal is to build as many customer Broncos at the highest quality this year.
- 2-door Broncos (only available with hardtop roofs):
- 2021 & 2022MY – Carbonized gray Molded in Color (MIC)
- 2023MY – Carbonized gray Molded in Color (MIC), Black Modular, contrasting white modular, and body color painted modular
- 4-door Broncos: o
- 2021 & 2022MY – Carbonized gray Molded in Color (MIC), Black Cloth Soft Top
- 2023MY – Carbonized gray Molded in Color (MIC), Black Cloth Soft Top, Black Modular, contrasting white modular, and body color painted modular, Dual top options
Are 2-door Broncos still being produced for 21MY given the hardtop roof challenges? Yes. 2-door Broncos will continue to be produced throughout the 21 model year. 2-door Broncos will only be built with the molded in color hardtop roof. Based on demand, some customers will receive a 22MY Bronco.
How are Bronco 2-door and 4-door First Edition customers impacted by this news? All Bronco First Edition orders will be scheduled and built throughout the 2021 model year with the previously announced MIC roof.
What is included in the hardtop prep kit? The hardtop prep kit is included on all 4-door soft top orders, effective with September 21MY production. The kit includes the proper connections for rear windshield wiper and rear defroster as well as the controls needed for these features.
If a customer switches to a soft top roof, does that guarantee them a 2021MY Bronco? Switching to a soft top will expedite a customer’s order, however, it does not guarantee a 21MY. Scheduling is based on a number of factors including reservation timestamp, part availability, and the number of Bronco vehicles each dealer receives.
Will the hardtop prep kit be available for customers whose 4-door soft top Bronco is built before September production? No. Hardtop prep kit will be included on all 4-door Broncos, beginning with September production
If a customer no longer wants to wait for a delayed roof, can they update their order to be considered for 21MY scheduling? Yes. We encourage any customer who would like to be considered for 21MY production to update their order to a buildable roof option (soft top w/ prep kit or MIC hardtop) and request their dealership remove the 99-priority scheduling code. Once their order has been updated, we will continue to use their reservation timestamp as one of the factors determining if their unit gets scheduled.
How will a customer be able to get a hardtop roof when available in 2023? Hardtop roofs will be available as an accessory ordered through their dealership. While we cannot provide a price yet, the freight shipping costs to get the roofs to dealers will cause the cost to be more than the factory installed option.
How do we handle a customer who wants to wait for a 23MY roof option? If a customer has already converted their reservation to an order, we encourage dealerships keep their scheduling priority code at 99. We will have more information available at a later date regarding the 22MY ordering process and recommended processes for customers choosing to wait.
What changes are coming for 22MY production? Customers can expect to see updated paint colors – including green, special editions, manual Sasquatch package, and 4-door Sasquatch with roof rack. We will have complete details when the Build & Price site opens.
When does 23MY production begin? 2023 model year production will begin in late Q4 2022.
Will a customer’s reservation timestamp still apply for 23MY? Yes. Timestamps will continue to be a factor in scheduling throughout future model years. At this time there is no expiration date for reservations. Scheduling is based on a number of factors including reservation timestamp, part availability, and the number of Bronco vehicles each dealer receives.
How does a customer know if they are eligible for the 200,000 FordPass Reward points offer? FordPass Rewards bonus offers are only visible to dealerships via the Member Portal dealer facing tool. All offers have been loaded into the system. Customers who were previously eligible for the 200,000 FPR point offer ($1,000 value) will not change; only the criteria requiring delivery of a 21MY Bronco has been updated to also include 22MY deliveries.
What does price protection mean? For any customers with a Bronco reservation or order as of March 19, 2021 Ford will ensure that you will not see an increase in the MSRP if you receive an equivalently equipped 22 or 23 model year Bronco.
How can customers receive their Bronco sooner? Customers willing to avoid key commodity constraints (Hardtop Roof, 2.7L engine, Lux or Sasquatch Package, Badlands/Wildtrak, Safari Bar or Trailer Tow package, etc.) will have a higher likelihood for 2021MY production based on part availability.
I have a 2 door on order, and I received an email. However, I am a late order.Hmmmm, didn’t receive the email and I have a two door ordered. Did others who ordered two doors receive email?
False! I have 2 family members that work for Ford (one for 30yrs one for 10yrs) and they both told me LAST august there will be top problems, so Ford has had a year to fix this and haven't. Also I think it's gross that they will break their promise and build dealer orders before converted order holders that have been waiting since last July!! You rewarded their loyalty by showing you don't care about them. Tell your bosses they should be embarrassed, jeep is laughing at them and taking customers away from them each dayThat's quite literally not the case... they've been pretty transparent about the delays in MIC production and what they're doing to try to fix it.
I get being frustrated, but this level of revisionist history isn't going to help anything.
Yep, and you can get it in white like a real bronco. The most important thing is you aren't stuck with a soft top for life. They should have figured this out and let us know in May with the first we f'd up email. What is the over/under on number of we f'c up emails still to come? I say over 3.if they are bringing it up in an email about tops i would expect this to be the case.
If you want the mod top (aka the better hard top) and you ordered a 4 door i would call your dealer and ask for the soft top and prep kit and save your pennies for the mod top
Shame that wasn't in California, where it would have been totally legal to take a shit right in front of their boothI went to the DFW Bronco ride along yesterday at the Duck Expo, I was surprised that Webasto has a display as well.
Being in California...this is accurate.Shame that wasn't in California, where it would have been totally legal to take a shit right in front of their booth
