At this point I think the tremor I ordered last weekend will get here before my Bronco...

I didn't get the email. Maybe it's a good sign!

I am more concerned with the line, "We now have to produce more soft tops than planned and we won't be able to solely produce customer orders, as hoped." That pretty much means dealer stock orders and IF that effects dealer allocations, that means it effects when everyone gets their's. I'm an early 7/14 res and #5 out of 100+ at my dealer which has received 0 allocations so far, so I am really starting to wonder if I'll get a MY 21 or even MY 22 this year.

You should all join me in the cancelled orders club, Ford does not deserve your loyalty as they give NONE in return.

This is all a lot less stressful when you're just watching for the entertainment (IE everyone who already has a VIN who is telling you to calm down)

As a lifelong Ford guy, well adult life that is, I hate to say it but it really is front and center on my mind to cancel my order.

I certainly hope ONLY after reservation holder soft top orders are filled.

Nope, they just told us they were NOT.

So, if our production date (build) is prior to September and we have the soft top option...we're unable to get the prep kit? Or we just don't get it for free?

How are you all reading that?

"Until then, we can offer the carbonized gray molded in color hardtop as the only hardtop option for 2 and 4-door Broncos."

Does anyone have clarification on this? Does this mean they are only making carbonized gray Broncos, or are all MIC tops considered "carbonized gray" despite the Bronco color?

No one will probably click this and read it, because no one reads before they post, but BN posted the FAQ that went out to dealers. It answers a lot/some of the questions that some of y’all have.

big thing to point out though: producing tops at a 60% MIC to 40% soft top ratio

Thanks for providing those details!

So, what does it mean for those who didn't get the email? I have a BB, 2 Dr scheduled for 7/22.

 

[NewBroncoOwner]

Immediately switched to soft top 3 min after email hit the inbox. I know I stated that I would not change to a soft top, but if they are offering a prep kit for later on, sure, why not

I believe all MIC tops are considered carbonized gray so you only will get the gray tops that were on so many of the pre-production models.

Join me on the pain train, all. I switched to soft top in May after the first “heads up” was provided by Ford.

Personally, the soft top looks like absolute shit.

Don’t sit around waiting for their garbage OEM hardtop. Hoping some companies take advantage of this blunder and start cranking out some alternative top options sooner rather than later.

I read it as we do not get the prep kit because it will be built prior to September..

 

[P52Ranch]

I ordered a soft top anyway. So does this email mean that I will be getting the hardtop wire kit too? Hopefully I will be getting my scheduled date email soon, but the way this thing has been playing out, probably won't get my Bronco till 22.

If you are "lucky" Ford will produce your soft top on the last day of August and you won't get the hardtop prep kit.
