Oh I see. The online builder even let me change to soft top but it was so expensive
It says at the bottom of his post: Ordered 2/5/22 - OBX 4D - area 51 - sasquatch - soft top - 2.3L - high package
I have a day 2 res (7/14/20) and I first ordered my Bronco on 1/21/21. I waited through the entire MY21 season and then converted my order to MY22 in mid Oct 2021. From the accepted order email I got from Ford it would appear my dealer submitted it during the first week of Nov 2021 . I have yet to get a build week from Ford. It almost seems like Ford has realized they're so far behind on early reservations/orders that they figure these people have lost faith in them, so they decided to move ahead on newer orders with people who haven't yet lost the faith.
Reservation Jan 2021. Paid deposit and formal order 3/2021. Re-order 10/2021 for a 2022 model. In production e-mail 1/18/2022. And nothing since. My old ride is acceptable for now but I have no patience with Ford. As soon as I NEED a new ride, the Bronco order is history.
The two door forces a hardtop (no retractable soft top is made), the online configurator that shows a soft top is an additional option that you get with the hard top, that is why it is so expensive. It is a top you have to remove and store at home, much like a hard top, it is not something you can flip back on a whim while you are out and about.

Actually the soft top on the configurator is the Bestop fastback soft top which does flip back with the side windows and back window being removeable.
I am one of those people who followed the rules and I reserved before your date, however at some point its hard to rationalize why one would have to deal with being treated poorly and or led to believe that their order would take precedence over later orders etc,. etc.. AND still stand there waiting obediently waiting for the bone. My point is nothing is worth it. I still read these forums every now and then and it honestly shocks me that people allow themselves to be treated this way. I am not trying to insult anyone but it fascinates me.
I suggest you follow what you feel is right for you and at the same time not allow yourself to keep chasing a dead rabbit. Do not be afraid to walk away if need be. I personally think there is no way to speed this up it is what it is. I waited 2.5 years and enough was enough for me. There is a rainbow at the end of this. Step back and decide for yourself. It is too easy for us to be treated like crap and take it. One look at the gas prices will show you that. Wherever you end up honestly best wishes.
I am confused. I said I had a July 2020 reservation. I did not say which day. How are you so sure you “reserved before my date?” Even if you did, is July 13th, 22nd, or 31st really that different? I am frustrated by people who walked into a dealership THIS January and already have their vehicle.
