Official correspondence from Ford:

Subject: Bronco Production Update

Our team at Michigan Assembly Plant, where the Bronco is born, is on track to begin deliveries this summer, however, today we will be announcing to all Bronco customers who have placed an order the following production changes for 2021MY.

• The black painted modular hardtop and dual top roofs will move from 21MY late availability to 22MY
• The Carbonized gray molded-in-color (MIC) roof is now the only roof option for First Edition and WildTrak Broncos
• A no charge Sound Deadening Headliner for hardtops (previously announced to Dealers 3/19)
• A customer price protection policy for 2022MY all current Bronco order and reservation holders (as of March 19, 2021)

While we know this news will be frustrating for dealerships and customers, we want you to know we are committed to getting customers the Bronco they want as soon as possible. We are making millions of dollars of incremental investments to increase production of Broncos to meet demand on all these high-end models. We hope to share more information soon.


Updated with further correspondence / info:

CONVERSION TO ORDERS:

• Updating you today on Bronco conversation rate: We have seen 125,000 customers convert their order from the more than 190,000 Bronco 2-door and 4-door reservations in the U.S. and Canada
  • 70 percent higher trim series (Badlands, Wildtrak, First Edition, Outer Banks)
  • More than 60 percent + 2.7-liter V6

PRODUCTION CHALLENGES:

• COVID19 has had an impact to our hardtop roof supplier.
• The hardtop roof challenges combined with orders of more than 125,000 compounds an already short 2021 model year production schedule and means more customers will get a 2022 model year Bronco.
• The black painted modular hardtop and dual-top roof options will now move into the 2022 model year
• Customers who currently have the black painted modular hardtop or dual top roof selected will have the following options (your MSRP price will be adjusted accordingly):
  • Order the carbonized gray molded-in-color hard top roof
  • Order the black soft top roof; Excludes Wildtrak and 2-door
  • Wait for black painted modular hardtop or dual top roof option for 2022 model year
  • Customers will now have until April 8 to work with your dealer to update/modify their order

HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED:

• We are sending letters today to thank customers affected by the roof change for their patience

COMPENSATION:

• Ford is providing up to 200,000 FordPass Rewards Points (a $1,000 value) which they can use to personalize their Bronco through Ford Accessories. (applies to all First Edition and customers who ordered Mod or Dual top roof and switch for 21MY)
• We are maintaining 2021 model year pricing through the 2022 model year for all order and reservation holders as of March 19 waiting for their Bronco.
• In addition, 2022 model year customers will have new choices for colors and special editions starting next year
• In addition, providing waiting customers a $250 voucher for all order holders as of March 19 deadline for early access to any one of four Bronco Off-Roadeos so they can get behind the wheel of a Bronco in the wild.

And some MY2022 UPDATE:

Question: Although I am a first-day order, since I want the painted black roof, my Bronco will, by default, be a MY22. My dealer says that I do not need to do anything with my MY21 Order to change it to a MY22. Is that correct?

 

[ZackDanger]

Can you expand on this? I haven't heard anything about a new roof design. What is that about and will the future roofs be compatible with the 2021 models?

There's nothing to expand on.

Originally when asked why you couldn't spec the roof rail on some trims, Ford said it was a GVWR issue in the ordering system, and that the roof rails were going to be changed to allow for it later on.

Wild speculation ensued.

Fast forward to today, and now the GVWR issue seems to be at least somewhat resolved, in that some the prohibited items can be added to orders.

There was never anything said or implied to indicate a change in the roof design.

Hey @ronstar - can you post or send a version of this with ole’ 97 still in Cyber Orange?

You mean like this?

 

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

You mean like this?

Yep - thanks. (debating if I want to get the MIC top painted white or not - will have to see what the MIC top looks like as produced when I get it).

Here's what I am thinking:

How about Velocity Blue?

How about Velocity Blue?

This is close

I'm secretly hoping I'm pushed to MY22 and I'll change the MIC to a white top. Secretly as in there a microscopic chance I'll see anything in MY21.

 

[Ryuk]

Thanks!! Looks great

 

[jafrazie]

Any chance the black interior on FE suffers the same fate as the Top?

 

[NotApplicable]

I don’t get the obsession with the white top when the rest of the plastics are all black. Flares, handles, mirrors, bumpers, etc

Alright @ronstar , since ^^^^^^^ this put it in my head. Any chance you could add white flares and grill to the pic below? or white flares and bumper?

Here's something rough. With a softer shade of green too.
