2021 Bronco delivery now "targeted to begin June 2021" and possibly into 2022

Excellent for the drive off the lot depreciation hit.

/sarcasm.

Order your 2021 in 2020, take delivery in 2022....sounds brilliant.

Fill the books for 2021 to match prod capacity til 12/21, open the order books in fall of 21 for delivery of the 22 MY starting in January.

I guess they thought they’d sell more Bronco Sport. Not sure why higher demand for the 2 and 4 door would push back begin ship date by two months ?

Supply and demand. The bronco sport is going into production first, and indigenous protestors are blocking railway lines down in Mexico, which is delaying production. Covid restrictions and problems with UAW are lowering forecasts here in the states. They wont be able to build these as fast as they originally planned.

I'm personally hoping to get mine in the Summer of 2021. If I have to wait til late fall (November or so) I'd be disappointed. I was able to get a reservation within the 1st hour of them opening up.

I think this is more or less a CYA tactic by Ford (smart idea).

Given the timeline (forget it if it was pre or post COVID) Job 1 would have been early December. With April deliveries. June is two months after that, so maybe things have shifted to the right and Ford is padding time, but is willing to spend the money to make things happen faster (as possible with OT and whatnot) because demand is strong. Plus we don't know how COVID is going to affect things the rest of the year...will it start to die out or will we see a spike in cases towards the fall/winter? Who knows.

Then figure the shake out from reservations to orders...how many of them are double orders from people trying to "game" dealerships or people not being able to complete their orders due to changes in their lives or getting a new car before then because they need one sooner then later.

I really hope this is just for IF you reserve it now and not for every reservation....

It says "initial deliveries" start June 21 sooo

 

[regularbronco]

Yeahhhhh same. Have my Ranger on a short little 2y lease ending in April 2021, directly planned that way for a shift into the Bronco. Oh well....hopefully I'm only extending by a few months and not 8.

Aren't you going to miss you Rangers Bed?

I just turned mine in and save the monthly payment I was making in my "down payment" fund. It's like my own personal "Go Fund Me" account.

Well, this is unfortunate. What's the chances the early reservations still make it in fall '21?

 

[Frank N]

She couldn't drive it. I said AND? I told her this was going to by MY toy! not hers she could buy a auto if she wanted to.

I did that with my last Porsche, the sniping never ends on that....hence I will be getting an auto on the Bronco

 

[DrKennethNoisewater]

If its a first come first serve, I'm banking on still getting the truck April/May of 2021 if we reserved within the first couple of days.

I'm guessing the reservations overshot expected numbers, so they're doing a CYA date push-back that may or may not affect those of us who got in relatively early.

 

[PatrioticArms]

When the reservation is converted to an order will there be another payment required ??

 

[Nickp]

The way I see it is I just have more time for a bigger down payment. So I'm probably the only one happy about this lol

Same here. If I was getting mine in spring I would be cutting it close. An extra 6 months to a year is fine by me honestly.

It definitely sucks for people who are going to write a check though.

 

[Phil_Is_My_Middle_Name]

Since it may be until 2022, I may start considering the 6th gen 4runner when it comes out.

But then a few months later you see a Bronco at the light ? That feeling is hard to erase....lol

 

[killaz05]

I am with the others saying more time to save for a bigger down payment. Also more time to save for accessories haha. I am hoping to not be too far down the list as I reserved the night of but we shall see. I just want the build and price to be up so I can spend hours on there.

 

[BroncoJay]

I’d be out if it took that long!
My lease is up this winter and I won’t wait another year to buy another one
