Wow Zach, you are great. These are the questions I had for my dealership and they have yet to get back to me at all even on other questions I had since the day I placed my order. I even went there in person 4 weeks ago. The sales guy claimed that I would have to get in line again- he was not sure. The reservation did not seem to mean anything. He would need to check with management or the owner.

So can we change dealerships? I have an early AM 7/14 reservation and would love to use it........but if at the current dealership, I am opting out completely.

Because MIC hard tops are the biggest bottleneck on Bronco production. Many more customers want a MIC hard top than will be available to fill orders well into 22MY, so stand-alone MIC hard tops are not expected to be available as an accessory from your local dealerā€™s parts department until 23MY. Ford would rather sell more Bronco units with a single top (MIC or soft) than artificially limit unit sales by selling some Broncos with two tops (MIC and soft) until the bottleneck is resolved.

TL;DR - Ford makes more profit by selling an entire vehicle at $40,000+/- than by selling an additional top accessory.
So what you are telling me is to order just the mic top, cancel the soft top and I will get mine sooner? Also my reservation was within the 1st 12 hours of reservations, so my number is good. But they have been told they have unlimited soft tops? So why canā€™t I have both? Can I get the mic then order the soft top right away? This whole process is just whacked up!

The quickest way to get your Bronco would be to order just the soft top now and pick up either the MIC or MOD hard top later, once they become available as accessories.

If you switch to just the MIC hard top, which is the largest current production constraint, then there are a bunch more variables that come into play which could delay your delivery (e.g., your dealerā€™s allocation, your spot in the order list, FEs that have to be built in 21MY).

Ford hasn't officially announced either way, but I've heard rumblings that the option to switch dealerships may open when 2022 order banks open up.

Bold and underling by me because I dont believe this is accurate... Anyone that reserved and ordered with a Black Painted Modular Top will not be getting their Bronco in Model Year 2022 ( unless they change their order)

Zach,
My dealer says not to touch my order and it will roll over automatically into 2022.
I wanted to add Capable Bumper for 2022 but he advises against it or I could lose my sequence.
FYI no VIN yet.
So I'm getting conflicting info.

I would get an updated order summary from them showing it's a 2022. They may have the function of rolling it over, I could be wrong, but my impression is reordering. The options you change will not change your sequence unless that part is a restricted item.

Yea I'll verify my 2022 order.
I don't think I can get any more restrictive than I already am! lol

I live in the upper Midwest and a soft top is not going to do it for winter months.

All this does make you wonder what if this rollout would have been smoother if people had skin in the game.

$100 reservation? Fine.

Want to order, it's another $900.
In a way I agree with this. There should have been a higher buy in.
