Congrats to the Raptor folks. You've been waiting a while as well. For the rest of us, just another surfing trip to Disappointment Cove!

I'm officially changing my order from a Heritage to a Badlands. Ford also announced a Heritage+ trim. They can't even build the regular Heritage!

Where did you see a Heritage + trim?

Ford has not been able to produce a modular top for 3 years now. Ford = Lucy, customers = Charlie Brown, modular top = football.

My raptor order went from a PC 10 to a PC 01 today, hopefully good news this week

How or where do you find the PC status?

It's not like they really started building them to do a stop build, as far as we know not one Heritage has made it to a customer yet so who knows. This is the first written confirmation of an issue but of course they don't publicize the problem or an ETR so it's all back to us sitting around guessing. I can try to be an optimist and say yes, admission of a problem is the first step to actually fixing the problem but Ford's had over 3 years to figure it out if it's the top.

This is on a Dealers site in Canada. I have asked them to send me a couple real pictures twice but no response. You can see the window sticker on their site. Blend date 03/15

This is for the birds I was a July 2020 reservation holder and my origional dealer sold my 2022 bronco so I reordered a Heritage Edition in March because Ford will not honor my reservation so here I go yet again probably another 2 year wait for me. I'm so p%@#$d right now. Also, not only did I loose my reservation time stamp I lost a $997 certificate and $1,000 in points towards accessories ughhhhhh. I am so deflated right now it's not even funny.

How are they ever going to catch up to Jeep, if they don't build more.

They never thought they were going to catch jeep so they didn't configure their factory with that in mind. This idea, sadly, was dead from the beginning.

What's funny is that looking up the definition of premium gives you this:

a sum added to an ordinary price or charge.

If that's the case then Ford has made all Broncos premium with the endless price increases and the dealers are really providing a premium experience!

It's insane to me that they're going all in this hard, while doing flailing this hard on the production end.

I'm a 3/27 order and I'm 100% okay waiting. It's the fact they announce all these trims variations, while not being able to even produce then I find insane.

I think it's time for me to ditch my Heritage Limited order. I got pushed back over the weekend to August and now I see the "Stop Build" order from Ford.

I thought you couldn’t order a limited. All were allocated to dealer stock.. or did you get an arrangement with your dealer?

Yes I was offered one from their allocation

I just read an article on Ford Authority stating three additional Bronco models announced. “ Work, Premium, and Heritage Plus”. The Work trim is suspected to be for fleet sales, while the Premium and Heritage Plus models are still a guess.
