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

[Spooled]

So I may not get my hands on my day 1 reservation until Aug/Sept? Big ooooof. At this point make them all MY2022. More time to think about just saving up for a 392 Rubi ?

Yes, especially in the Wildtrak, if Ford wants to make more money then make the upper trims more desirable!

Exactly! I’m getting the Wildtrak and would prefer all black interior also! So frustrating! Then some people are like, ohhh Ford is listening. F that. ? If they were they would’ve given it on all trims!

When does 2021my start?

Thank you for the update.

So glad I didn't downgrade my FE to a Badlands. Thanks for listening Ford!

Not surprised, quite disappointed. I keep feeling this is like when you ask a woman out, and she says yes then when you try to set a date she keeps pushing it back over and over until you finally realize she never wanted to go out in the first place and....I hate this :'( **** this year

 

[Heelabaloo]

Already planned for ‘22 b/c I want a white top. Though I wonder how far that pushes me back if a ton of ‘21 orders get reprocessed for ‘22? Gotta think this schedule slips more as they get up and running and have to work though manufacturing growing pains.

Was really hoping for news of an interior option other than black for Badlands....

They should just call em a 22 model. If your 2021 model isnt delivered until Sept Oct time frame you're essentially getting a brand new 1yr old vehicle at brand new vehicle pricing.

It was expected - but definitely feeling a bit salty about only FE getting a second interior option and not WT.

Crazy that very early reservation holders that go with manual SAS will still be waiting well over a year and a half from reservation to delivery.

On one hand, I'm glad Ford was upfront with the info, and it's a little more time to build up my down payment.

On the other hand, my wife's car is nearing the end and I'm starting to feel this is a race against time. If her car craps out before the Bronco gets released, and we have to get another vehicle, I may not be able to get my Bronco, at all.

Any of you Bronco specialists who got this info directly from Ford, was there mention of if dealer switch deadline is moving along with order deadline?

Isn’t the answer in the FAQ?


What can customers who have placed a reservation expect next? And what does the Bronco overall timeline look like?

1. Customer placed reservation (since July 13)
2. Customer uses Ford.com Build & Price tool to spec their dream Bronco (since October 23)
3. Customer finalizes dealer selection by March 19, 2021
4. Customer places order and agree to selling price with dealer between mid-January through March 19, 2021. Note: Bronco will not have online order conversions and will require dealers to place order
5. Ford receives all orders nationally and begins to forecast a production schedule against key product content and features (commodities) – Q2 2021
6. Customer receives dealer delivery window in May 2021
7. First customer deliveries now begin in Summer 2021

They need to put that black interior into the Wildtrak!

Was really hoping they would as I wanted the Wildtrak but just can't do that interior. Was kind of expecting the time line changes, don't really have a problem with that.

What is there to figure out? It literally says they will be taking orders in January...I'm sure even Granger would be able to process all their orders in just a few weeks if even.

Dude...seriously..
I’ve never ordered a new vehicle before so
I’m not an expert..are you? With Ford giving a timeline of placing orders from potentially Mid January through March there has to be a reason in the somewhat long timeline, and yes my dealer here in Iowa has well over 1000 orders so
I’m not sure how priority is taken as far as who gets access to place their orders and the timeframe in which the dealer has..

So I’m sure I’m worrying for no reason but the delay has caused me a
Little concern...
