Why would there be a delay at all if they gave every trim a black interior option? They already have it on the badlands. It would be as simple as adding a box to check upon order.
Black is too hot here in the south.
Maybe their suppliers are working now, to produce x amount of materials (MGV, Roast leather, etc) based on Ford's allocations and assumptions for take-rate. Suppliers are gearing up and stocking everything in the background, so Ford could power through the assembly. If 25-50% converts to black, you dont think that would throw a wrench into things?
I guess I could see a little disruption there, but Ford really doesn’t know what to expect yet as far as orders are concerned. They don’t know how many of each trim or interior color. It’s all a guessing game. Also, if they thought it would delay things, then why offer it up to the FE holders at all? All I’m saying is that Ford really missed the mark on the interior options and color schemes and for me I’d rather wait a little bit longer for the Bronco I really want instead of settling for something that I’m just tolerating. Wouldn’t you? My opinion is based on ordering the WT and that interior doesn’t match with any exterior color. It’s hideous. But the WT ticks all the boxes for my build.
Because that's not how the supply chain works. Orders for materials were placed long ago based on an anticipated mix of offerings. They could possibly move that direction as they need to replenish inventory. How quickly would depend on the ability of their suppliers to meet the change in demand. But it's not as simple as just adding a check mark on the order form.
Because it will take even longer to make them it is basic understanding of manufacturing the more something is similar to its counterparts the faster they are all built
