Ford is apparently dropping the ball big time regarding aftermarket accessory makers.

[Dr.Detroit]

Long term, you bet. Immediately, Ford can't fill customer orders. Why would they worry about mules for the aftermarket?

why would they care about aftermarket when they can do some of it themselves.. some...why would a company who make a platform to make more products for not participate? Business 101.

Agree wholeheartedly that Ford needs to meet aftermarket demand. Which is why, as @Evolkidbell stated, Ford handed the car over to SEMA - allowing SEMA members access to measure as well as provided CAD models to SEMA members.

KC highlights and GooseGear (SEMA members) have more than enough to produce their accessories, they probably don't have a vehicle yet because there's only so many vehicles to go around.

I talked to both companies recently and there has been complete radio silence from ford. I dont know where you are getting this idea that they have enough info when they are completely in the dark

you don't seem to understand that sending out 10 broncos that ford has laying around somewhere , or simply inviting these companies to get measurements at an off rodeo really doesn't put a dent in fords ability to deliver vehicles

you don't seem to understand one is not related to the other...you are all over the map with complaining and you just want your Bronco...dude, you can make 10000 threads as to why you are upset...not one of them will get you your Bronco quicker..do you see this or no?

Waiting on KC Hilites for sure...

Well that's because in the future ford wants "aftermarket" to go through them. Example there plan with the 100 bronco stores, there Ford accessories Catlog, Bronco Offredo, etc.... they want to be the one stop shop for your Bronco.

Maybe the guys you talk to are insignificant to their business model...ever think of that?

Maybe, Ford don't give a shit if they want to make parts to make a living off of their product...Maybe. Maybe, they want to make the products with their business partners, Just maybe....they don't give away the store because spoiled brats complain about whatever.
Maybe, that is how they have 100 year old company and you are waiting for your product from them..? Bro you are a good dude, but man c'mon this is getting ridiculous...

why would you assume this is me mad about not getting my bronco quicker? are you projecting?

Im concerned that once everyone gets their broncos we will be waiting a year for stuff to start hitting the market because ford was so slow in giving out cad and measurments

which as of right now 2 major accessory makers have nothing

I wont really ever understand why a person would argue so fervently for less aftermarket support so ford could have us spend 400 dollars on rigid rock lights

you have to explain yourself here because it does not make sense
