So if you have a reservation already can you switch it to a raptor?

Edit: I don't really think this is going to happen, but one can dream!
No, you're stuck. Without a vehicle.

How about ... offering a black interior with black leather seating on MY22 Broncos instead ... I simply don't get the orange fixation at Ford ... it's like the episode of The Simpsons when Powell Motors let Homer design a car ... The Homer ... for $82,000 ...
  • The Homer has two bubble domes; one in the front, while the one in the back is for quarreling kids, and comes with optional restraints and muzzles.
  • According to Homer, the engine sound causes people to think "the world's coming to an end."
  • There are three horns, as Homer claims that "you can never find a horn when you're mad." The three horns play the song "La Cucaracha."
  • The car also features gigantic cupholders, which actually became a feature on many cars in the 1990s onward.
  • The car has various outdated features such as bubble domes, shag carpeting, and tailfins. It also has a metal bowler as a hood ornament.

Is it me or now I feel kinda bummed. This seems underwhelming and it looks like there isn’t any changes to the body. The F150 Raptor has wider fenders. This looks like you can just do these as after market add ons..
good luck with the after market engine upgrades whilst maintaining a Ford warranty. The only people really getting screwed are the First Edition suckers who are paying the same base msrp (pre dealer markup) for a 2.7 with no tune.

oh I understand, but i rather go to a reputable person who tunes and they offer some protection I might add, then go all out 30K over MSRP. I am okay, I have my dealer, I’m first on the list and I purchased Ford performance vehicles from them and never paid over sticker. I feel for others. That’s what sucks.

Why wouldn’t further vehicle development cease on the Bronco when that haven’t been able to meet their own current promises? I think meeting the promises made to their current customers at this point should be priority. From a customers point of view, there is a lot of effort focused on “future development” and keeping our focus off the fact that many of us are still waiting on some communication of when we will get the trucks we reserved 15months ago and ordered almost 9months ago. Future planning is always ongoing, of course, but a 2022 Raptor Bronco is ridiculous to tease when they can’t even meet current demand on the basic vehicle they’ve promised.
Ehhhh... it just doesn't work that way, my man. R&D doesn't get put on hold due to supply chain or delivery issues. They forge ahead... as they should, lest they get left behind.

Also worth pointing out, you don't have to do one thing exclusively at the expense of another when you're a massive company like Ford. It's not like they're gonna bank that time and effort on the R&D side to get you your Bronco faster. Duh. LOL.

I mean the expectation of a V8 is weird. Could it happen? Sure, but the people acting certain of it make no sense. The F150 Raptor isn't even a V8 and that's on a platform that actually has a V8 option. I would bet it'll get the same 3.5L as the Raptor F150
3.5 is too heavy. Never happen. It will get the 3.0 from the ST. Anyone want to bet…..

To be fair, warthog is just a nickname for the A-10.
I mean....isn't Raptor just a nickname for the F-22?

It very well may be an option for '22, we haven't seen the full order guide yet.

I'm buying a Wrangler and ordering a Bronco. When the Bronco finally arrives, I'll decide which one I want.
That is what I did and figured both vehicles hold value very well. Been loving the Wrangler while I wait for the everlasting Bronco. No regerts.

Keep the reservation Bronco like new - no mods, light mileage, and pay for the Hot Rod Premium with it's sale.
