Interesting, my current unchanged order is a 2-door badlands, Mod top, Leather, keypad. I am going to change it next week to MIC, drop leather to MGV and drop the keypad. I'm kinda thinking this a win for me!

Except this memo doesn't talk about options at all. If I ordered a sasquatch for MY21, and the price of Sasquatch goes up for 22, will the certificate cover that difference as well?

It's definitely because of mod top

I'm with you. I switched from a Wildtrak to a Badlands *yesterday*. I've been thinking about what I actually want and the Badlands works a lot better for me (I live in Colorado). However if I had received my Wildtrak in a reasonable time after I ordered it I would have been fine with it.
I certainly don't have the oldest order/reservation date on here by a large margin (I placed my Res/order back in early February) but getting hosed on price protection kind of sucks. I've been patiently waiting and now because I switched a week late past an arbitrary date I wasn't told about I've now lost my price protection?
That's pretty messed up.
The only reason I'm at a point where I have the option to change is that they haven't delivered my vehicle. The price protection should have been open for people switching to at least equivalently priced models (my Badlands actually ended up @$1000 more than my Wildtrak).
If it goes up by $800ish then whatever...I'm not going to lose much sleep over it. But it's honestly the principle of the thing. I know that Ford certainly didn't create these delays on purpose...but man what a crappy way to take care of your reservation holders.
So my reservation of a BD, but 99'd order and going with a WT is not protected?

I don't disagree with your frustration; I think you're right for the record. However, if I had a trim on order and was thinking of changing it in 2022, I would have updated it with the dealership right away for my 2021 order (knowing it wouldn't change my order getting built anyways). My reasoning for that is just so they have the most up-to-date info for when the 2022 order bank opens up.
But maybe that's me; I'm just paranoid something will be missed/forgotten.

I didn't make changes because I wanted to see the details about MY22 trims and options first. But I guess I should have blindly changed trims to maximize price protection.
Every piece of news lately is hostile to the reservation customer.
Great thanks for the Info!Everyone should have switched to a Badlands/Wildtrak even if you didn't want one. Kind of like the Mod top credit from earlier this year. Also sounds like there's nothing to compensate for the capable vs modular bumper difference on Badlands/Black Diamond. I'm sure people will be upset once the full details come out.

Announcement:
I wonder how Ford intends to deal with accessories and added options. For instance If I ordered a Wildtrak and added the Lux package, will there be price protection for the Lux packs or will price protection only cover the standard package on the Wildtrak?I know they indicated in the past that it does not cover accessories but it would be good know if that is still the case.
Hopefully, THE CHART will clarify.

Out of curiosity, why did you want a WT to begin with? I don't understand people who go WT over BL. A BL can be spec'd with every option a WT has but not vice versa. Even ford is downgrading people who didn't convert FEs to BL. I do wish BL had body colored door handles though.
Depending on how it's calculated, you might be ok. For example, Wildtrak base price is higher than Badlands. Unclear how they will determine it yet.
The sky was the limit and I was holding my breath that the price increases would be like Jeep where they added $3000 to the price of a 4E because of the demand. Ford has a huge demand and a about a 2% increase is better than I expected.
I dont get all the jockeying for price protection on something you dont have ordered. What did you expect. In my case on my BL I get the voucher flat $ if I go changing the order, I pay whatever the new cost is for whatever option.
