📣 Ford announces MIC hardtop solution (program 21B49): unscheduled orders will get MY2022, delivered & built Broncos will have tops replaced

@Ford motor comp

We’re starting to actively communicate how we are going to make this right for each of you, but we hear you. In the meantime, please check out our latest FAQs here: https://ford.to/broncosupport

Can you please ensure that these communications are more specific to situations

1) Built with VINs sitting in the lot
2) VINs assigned but with build dates in the future/in flux (I have a Badlands in this situation)
3) FEs with no VIN/No scheduled dates (I have a First Edition in this situation)
etc....

Please consider the feelings of owners taking deliveries of 2021s in 2022. We will all need GAP coverage due the depreciation hit.

I know they exist. But they're not selectable as an option and for some reason Ford hasn't budged on that decision

Yes! Which is another kick to the nuts!

Attention passengers please take your seats Ford has everything under control.

I hope to see the Bronco Green in real life before deciding to go with that colour on my now-certain MY22 build. Here’s hoping for Jerry Can Green…

I just hope that there are no design changes to MY22 or MY23 that prevent the top I want (body color modular) from fitting my MY21 (if I get one) in a year or more. I switched to soft top as a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. Fitment better be the same then!

From my understanding, dealers will be removing all glass from the old MIC and re-installing them in the new, replacement MIC

That makes sense, although I know lots of folks in body/mechanic field around me and the majority I wouldn't trust. Family member was a previous employee on shop side as a mechanic at my dealer, but a state job pays way less but with benefits. Hopefully, he can leverage me onto the best guy they got for it.

I wonder why Ford doesnt just hire Jeep's supplier for hard tops. Problem solved.

This is now Ford. You know, the the company founded by that dude that frekin invented the assembly line and mass manufacturing ...

My fear as well!
We may need to start thinking about whether we want to trade our MY21 for a MY24 to get the top we want

Shit by then we will have a hybrid or electric option anyway

 

[dweskamp]

The upside is now those of us moving to MY22 get any potential updates even if its just a color change, but I suspect after the laundry list of Job 1 issues, more stuff will get addressed.

Like the fuzz on the second row seats. That needs to go.

Feel free to do what you all will do with this.

They're Fords design

This doesn't sound like just a supplier problem

 

[xmod]

who is making the newly designed tops?

 

[Mrpenn46]

I 100% am hoping the same thing, or a new FJ-style vehicle. Something similar to the Bronco in tech and fun. I had an FJ for 10 years and now own this 4Runner but I'm tired of their weak engines and low tech.

If the 4runner had slightly better power and MPG I'd probably already be in one. It sounds like 23' is the earlies they'll redesign it, and frankly I may trade the Bronco (if I ever get it) in on one depending on where they go on the redesign.
