First Edition Bronco bumped up to 7,000 production limit!

[SeventyOne]

I honestly don't get the big deal of 3500 vs 7k. Still just a small fraction ( likely 7% or less) of the MY2021 produced, and then decreasing after each model year after that. I think if it was originally 1750 then it went up to 3500 people would still complain

At the end of the day, having a 6g bronco in general won't be that unique after a few years

What's the talk of a blue interior? I missed something.

This can actually turn out good for some. At the launch we all had to jump in line without the benefit of understanding fully what the hell the different options were. I jumped on the FE because I like limited run, well optioned vehicles. Now that this has come out, how special is an FE now? I’m glad that I now know that I am not limited to my FE res. I may ultimately stick with the FE but now I’m going too look around a bit. I want to make mine as retro looking as possible with the most appointments/options I can get.

This is turning into a complete mess for Ford. If I can’t change my model at order to Black Diamond or Badlands I will be canceling for good. I will not be getting a First Edition anymore. That’s for sure.

Still no FE offering for Canada !!!!

You can have mine no point in it any more.

Well I don't know about that since they do mention in the email that they understand the desire to cancel. I think they might even be counting on folks to cancel. They may have massively oversold the FE reservations to the point where 7000 doesn't cover it. I'm really wondering if anybody has gotten or will get an email stating that they didn't make the 7k cut. From Ford's perspective that sounds so unpleasant to have to decide when to send that email out. Glad I'm over here just consuming their goods.

I think their ‘understanding to cancel’ is because the FE is less rare now that they’ve doubled the number because Increasing the production number may turn off buyers. I doubt the understanding comes from the disinterest in the interior color, lack of exterior color options, over valued, etc...

Ford - if you want to give all these First Editions some value better have them all autographed by Kenny Rogers (from the first First Edition) - oops that is not going to happen.

Yes, the email today from Ford says you can switch at the time of order.

There are several threads on it. One of the ugliest interior color combinations (in my opinion and the opinion of many others) might be the only option for First Edition trims. Hopefully Ford will at least offer a solid black alternative or something.

Ahhh. Thank you. Great news.

Right, I was just saying that Ford can do this again and make 15K or more First editions since it's more profit margin for them. They probably found a stockpile of F150 blue leather in the abandoned warehouse.

My hope is that if they can make this change for the quantity, they can make a change for the interior. In fact, I am willing to wait a bit longer for my FE if I get a better interior. I always have the option to go to reservation number two, which is a Badlands. I am not stuck on it being an FE, especially since the future value of it was just diminished.

I'm not a huge fan of exclusivity, but I did like the fact that I reserved 1 of 3500 that would be made. Having that number jump to 7000 makes it a little less special and is making me consider just saving the money and going with a lower trim. The aftermarket parts I want like BFG 35's, Method Wheels, possibly an ICON suspension, etc... would put me in the same price range, I assume, and I wouldn't shell out the extra cash. Decisions decisions, we'll see what August brings with the Build site up.

You'll be able to change the model according to https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...co-model-trim-dealer-when-placing-order.2141/

Dealers probably want every Bronco to be a First Edition.
