Breaking news: January ordering, Summer delivery, Black First Edition interior, no manual Sasquatch & more

Just spitballing here.. because I have no clue

I wonder if there are design issues with the hard tops due to the unique design of the frameless bronco doors. I’m sure the supplier Ford is using has dealt with Jeep but nothing similar to what Ford is trying to do with their door concepts...

Just thinking out loud..

I doubt it's the door areas or even the side pillars..... those areas are well supported and have strong edges.
I'll guess it's the large flat portions that are not staying flat.
Same issues with sheetmetal..... curves and high crown areas are more structurally sound than low crown flat areas.

Plenty of time now to pair the 2.7 with a manual. Lets have it Ford.

They are listening my friends.

I sincerely hope so. There seems to be movement on the interiors for the FE, but I haven't seen anything for the WT. I just hope the delay gives Ford time to make the corrections to the roof tops.

As my Dad taught me, “Just relax and enjoy.” I, for one, am really enjoying the experience of this forum and the adventure of new revelations, etc. it’s a great break from ordinary life.

I want some of what James is smokin'

I would prefer to be driving my Bronco while paying it down.

If they would offer black interior with WT I'd be sold, just don't know how the two tone is going to look and so many pics don't show anything consistent or appealing with the color of WT interior. To spend this much money I don't want to settle for anything but what i want. Really worry about the ability to modularize and dealing with non neutral colors

The problem with the 4Runner and Lexus GX is they are 10 year old designs and people won't stop buying them! Never a fan of the 4Runner, but I did look at the GX earlier this year and it is just dated. No apple play and the dang thing still has a CD player! If they redesign these two (same platform and factory) I think they would get even more looks...

I’m on my second 4Runner. They’ve been the number one seller in their class for years like the Tacoma.

BOTH tops are having problems. Given Ford's preoccupation with weight issues, that might figure into the problem as well.

Well its certainly in Fords best interest to really fill their B&P with accessories as that could have been balancing their books with expected profits.

Well - this is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Afraid I’m going to have to cancel and get a used raptor.

So for me on the upside I will definitely be able to pay cash by mid-summer, the down side is it may be more cash than I figured on if the accessories I wanted are available by then.

Pay by credit card and get the airline miles. Pay off the credit card next month with your cash. Boom.

I feel terrible that this feels me with glee everytime someone says it
