Remember how ford said they will prioritize 2nd Gen Tops:
1st Replace tops on already delivered Broncos
2nd Replace all tops on built but not delivered Broncos
3rd Produce new Broncos with 2nd gen tops

Well, they LIED! My First Edition was built 8/17 (right before they shut down), my brother's First Edition was built 9/8. He got a "shipped" email today!!!! I have NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH!!!

Oh, and for what its worth, we live in the same town!

edit:
Mine was reserved first, ordered first and built first. Both are First Editions with the only difference being color.

For further clarification....I'm not mad he is getting his sooner, in fact, I'm happy for him! My frustration is with Ford sending out a press release on how the rollout of the 2nd gen MIC tops would happen and then NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THEIR OWN COMMITMENT.

I realize there are other threads discussing this. My thread was created to show that:
1. Mine was reserved first
2. Mine was ordered first
3. Mine was built first (8/17..day before plant closure due to MIC tops)
4. They are the exact same First Edition build except his is Lightening Blue and mine is Cactus Gray
5. His was built "after" plant started building again 9/8 and he has a ship date of 10/8

Hey Ford, how do you explain this?????!!!!! Does your word mean ANYTHING?

Man, your brother must have called you in the middle of the night to spike the football and dance on your undelivered bronco to make you this mad.

Sucks to here. Sounds like your issue is similar to this thread topic here: newly-produced-broncos-being-shipped-with-mic-top-2-0-ahead-of-dirt-mountain-replacements.23710/

Did you expect any different?

Ford is going to handle the tops in a way that gets the most revenue in the bank as quick as possible.

How did shipping a later order of the same build generate more revenue for Ford?

Someone on here said that Ford wasn't going to search for build dates or res dates when it comes to replacement....just whichever is easiest to get to logistically.
