It’s not splitting hairs when you’re discussing the cost of a hardtop. Many believe the hard top is $695 because “that’s what I paid”. It’s not. It’s the $2400 plus $695. Then there’s the fact that you can’t buy a complete hardtop for $3200 either if you order one, It’s more like $10k once you piece it together. I’ve had people argue with me on here about buying a hard top for $695- several times. I simply stated both facts- it’s not $695 and it’s been discussed ad nauseam on here. Not insulting the poster.
Guess Ididn't understand the other dudes post. Fact is if you didn't want one to begin with you ain't getting one for $695 or even $3200 after the fact. But it is only a $695 option when buying a new Bronco.
Yes- that’s true. It may have increased by now though. I haven’t looked at the increased costs in awhile.
Agreed. Why reinvent the wheel, when there already were time tested "in the field" hardtop construction methods.
Of course ADV is going to promote their own hard top, I would be concerned if they didn't. Honestly, I think their videos are informative and well done. Marketing material, sure! And it worked. I forked over $7000 to be on their waiting list.Translation:

I know this is old, but it still comes up in hard top discussions. $695 was the cost to delete the soft top and replace it with a hard top. It is incorrect to think of this as the cost of the hard top. The dual top option cost $2545, and it makes sense to use this number when comparing the cost vs aftermarket tops, as in both cases you have the dual top option. Of course it's still much less expensive to order with a hard top than buying aftermarket, but nobody paid $695 for a hard top. Honestly, ADV tops are made in California. I'm suprised they aren't a million bucks!
$1895 on the Ford site and it's been that way since I first checked a few months ago.
