I'm not even a MOD top guy, but the idea that they couldn't give people a heads-up that the black MOD isn't happening before now is shameful. People have had these things reserved for literally over two years.

Also, let's be real. The problem isn't Webasto. If that was the problem, they could have gotten someone else on the job during the last two years. My guess is that there's some weight issue and the only way they can skirt the issue is by introducing the MOD top with a new design (Heritage) where they can do more to modify weight and balance.

As a side note, anyone remember when Ford used to say that Broncos would have trail maps?
Sure, you can have trail maps, install on-x on your phone... voila, trail maps.

@Ford Motor Company, where are our trail maps?

Anyone that opts for any of the Heritage Editions will be able to command a hefty premium to sell their Mod Top.

Would we need to actually have class to participate?
No because itā€™s ā€œclassā€ as in a group of aggrieved people and not ā€œclassā€ as in level of quality such as elegance in which Ford has not used in dealing with the aggrieved.

Not surprised Ford pulled the bait and switch on the mod top, saw this coming over the last couple months. Gonna look on the bright side though since I really wanted the white top but wouldā€™ve paid for a black one and then have to pay to get it repainted.

Whenever they get around to producing them, Ford should make the mod tops affordable to Bronco owners who want to replace the MIC. Whatā€™s the chance that happens, zero to none?
I would say that one of your two predicted outcomes will prove to be correct: zero, or none.

I think you just pinned the tail on the Bronco! Based on what we know about the issues with weight, you probably are spot on.

And just wait if the mod top doesnā€™t transfer to a bronco that didnā€™t get ordered with a mod top. šŸ¤Ŗ

Broncos of the 60's and 70"s didn't build the legacy with all this GRAY!!!!!!!!
Let's not forget the fixation with "Black Onyx" on the interior.

I don't foresee any change in mounting points on the chassis. But then again, the Heritage does have different quarter panels to accommodate the squared flares so there may be a change. There haven't been enough Everglades delivered and swapping tops to confirm if there are any body changes to the mounting points.

I can already see the rash of white top thefts that Ford has created by not openly offering mod tops across the whole Bronco range. Guess I'll have to deploy a theft deterrent to keep mine safe ...

Fear not!

In their infinite wisdom, Ford decided to build 1,966 2 door and 1,966 4 door Broncos the correct way (badlands starting point, unique color, brown int, mod top) so every dealership owner\GM\influencer is not screwed over like the rest of the peasants.

"Ford bet on the dealers". I will sleep easier tonight knowing that they are taken care of.

Bronco for 2023 will have a total of ten different Model's / Trim levels available. If you segregate 2 Door and 4 Door body styles that is 18 different Model/Trims/Doors.

That seems to be too many choices but yet there aren't enough options to satisfy anyone.
