What was the point of a reservation, order and being loyal? 2022 model on a 2020 order...and doing me a favor? I got an F250 a freaking 75 and excuses from Ford. Soft top, engine, base models, Sasquatch, towing..blah blah blah.
Everyone thinks the delay is on the 2021---- Ford has been goofing around with this Bronco since 2016 and it is just annoying.
I posted this elsewhere in reference to why Ford isn't calling them all 2022, but many points still are valid for your question:
I think you have to understand that there are extenuating circumstances. The Bronco has likely been in development for 4-5 years. The plan for customer deliveries was initially going to be December of 2020. This was probably in place until March of 2020 when the world entered a global pandemic. There's a lot of behind the scenes work that has to get done to sell a vehicle in the US. It's not like Ford can just flip a switch and say it's a 2022 now, the industry is regulated, there is paperwork that has to get filed, tests to be done, and legal to get through.
Think about it logically:
What's more likely? Ford, a company who has been manufacturing vehicles for 118 years and 3 days, not knowing what they're doing; or a global pandemic and an unprecedented semiconductor shortage wreaking havoc on the entirety of the auto industry causing a delay with our beloved Bronco?
