How is this one dealer in the know about production issues? He states "we have converted reservations to and locked in your order" (or something very close to that at about :28 seconds in) This a lie... NO ONE has "ordered" a Bronco yet..
Some dealers have already asked customers to submit their build so they can be prepared when ordering begins.

I have not made a reservation yet, so I'm looking at 2023!!! Things look very confusing at this point. Distribution could be a mess concerning who really gets what and in what order. One or two years out in this crazy world is an eternity. Reservations will be cancelled, lives will change. My best option might be a previously owned 2021 Bronco. Fortunately, I can enjoy my sweet 77 until a new one comes my way.

Alright my question. Who makes the Jeep hardtops I tried to Google didn't really get an answer. I never in my wildest dreams thought Webasto was in china. Thought they were USA based. Interesting!
Webasto is a German supplier. Also has a plant in MI.

For sure, but that is a bit misleading to the customer as they are not "ordering".. I hear ya, I just think it is a way of setting the hook with us anxious customers who might be trigger happy to cancel or switch dealers

I will agree that this is annoying about the tips being made in China... always prefer made in the U.S. However, my guess is that Ford literally wasn’t able to find a manufacturer to make it here. Whoever makes Jeep’s hard tops(which do seem to be made in the U.S.) probably doesn’t have the ability to double their capacity in a few short years. And I doubt there was any way to make it themselves or a manufacturer besides Webasto to step up to the plate. Also, I don’t think we should necessarily trust that video 100%. That dude had some seriously erroneous info (estimating when people are getting their Broncos) so I wouldn’t even say it’s even a 100% guarantee the tops are Chinese made. I wouldn’t doubt it but @Used2jeep may be right about the MI plant and them being built there.

I guess Ford was listening and black was a fantastic choice.

Now we’re back on the gravy train with biscuit wheels.

I’m just curious to know with the cut off reservation date for a 2022 model year will end up being.
