This morning we talked with our dealer. They have a 2-door Black Diamond w Hardtop in transit as Dealer Stock - For Sale - NOT Customer Order -

Ford tells us that HARDTOPS are the BIG BIG BIG constraint in producing our Customer Orders ??
Then at the same time, Ford ships those precious constrained HARDTOPS for Dealer Stock ???

That 2-door HARDTOP could've built a Customer Order -
What gives ??

Reservation holders may get heated - and why not -


UPDATE: from other comments - it could be a Canceled Order - don't know - it's definitely for sale -

Out of curiosity, are you 🇨🇦? I've read on multiple accounts that this is occuring at dealerships all across Canada (4dr with MIC tops and everything).

Heck a 4dr Badlands w/ MIC top wall sold to someone off the street just last week from reservation's dealership as their first Bronco (They still don't have a Mannequin yet....)

Mannequin vehicles may have hard tops.

We saw a 2-door at a dealer that was not a customer order, and it had a hard top.

Same, but different color and not upgraded wheels... we had to stop and have a look. A real unicorn find.

Because they ordered them. Same reason customers are getting them.

2-doors can only come with a hardtop.

Nothing to see here.

So it's same thing happening with other Dealers -
( Nah we're not Canada )

You wonder how Ford justifies shipping Hardtop Dealer Stock units for street sale when they have thousands of Reservation Holders waiting for those same "highly constrained" Hardtops ?
Enough to make my blood boil. I live in a small town, and I've seen this Bronco multiple times already driving around...

My sales manger didn't even notify me they had one on the lot (ie. So I could see one in person for the first time or even test drive it seeing as they were letting strangers do the same)

And I mean, I'm happy for the new owners, he looks like he's having a blast, but I'm 365 days financial committed to this vehicle now, and many more emotionally so it stings a bit.

2-doors only have hard tops. 4-door dealer orders and mannequins are only soft tops.

Although I don't know why your dealer was allowed to order a 2-door for sale.
