Love my soft top (really). So glad I switched in early May. It probably got me my Bronco 12-18 months sooner based on this latest news. (I was a 7/31/20 reservation)
I didnāt shop dealers, I simply went with the one Ford directed me to when I reserved.... with all the website issues the first night, I was just glad my reservation finally went through!
Fartastic!Not a to of new info but itās almost in stone now that the initial number of orders wonāt be 100% fulfilled until 2023
Ford Bronco Production Will Be Limited Through 2022
https://fordauthority.com/2021/09/ford-bronco-production-will-be-limited-through-2022/
Fordās molded-in color hardtop supplier, Webasto, had major issues producing enough tops to meet demand, and then, quality issues arose, prompting Ford to replace all MIC tops and push all unscheduled Bronco orders to 2022. Thus, many are left wondering how long it will take Ford to fulfill all of its 125,000+ orders, and unsurprisingly, it appears that this will take some time, as Ford Bronco production will be limited through next year.
āWeāre anticipating that it will be through 2022 before weāre able to satisfy the demand,ā Ford Bronco Brand Chief, Mark Grueber, told Ford Authority Executive Editor, Alex Luft, in a recent interview. āPart of that is the ramp-up of the plant thatās still happening, so it will be into next year. 190k was the reservations, and 125k converted to orders, so about two-thirds. That 125k has been pretty steady, so itās been pretty constant. New orders are coming in, but theyāre not coming in nearly at the pace that they were at the start.ā
As Ford Authority reported last week, online Bronco reservations have been paused temporarily due to the high number of orders already in the system, as well as supply constraints. That means customers interested in ordering a Bronco must do so the old-fashioned way, for now ā by visiting a dealership. On the bright side, those that arenāt married to certain configurations or options may be able to take delivery sooner this way.
For those that have had their order pushed to the 2022 model year due to these constraints, 2022 Ford Bronco order banks are scheduled to open in October, with production starting at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant in late December. The Bronco will gain new colors and features for the 2022 model year, including the Capable front bumper, special edition models, a manual transmission option with the Sasquatch package, and a roof rack for four-door Broncos equipped with the Sasquatch package.
I have a bottle of Eagle Rare. It's not bad, but given the choice between it and Buffalo Trace, I'll take BT every time. They are the same mash bill, but BT tastes better to me. If you have the opportunity, you should give Redemption Wheated a try.
No.
Fellow Nats fan here, the baseball season was brutal enough. Couldn't add waiting for a hard top to the 2021 disappointments. Switched to a softie 3 weeks ago, got a build date emailed to me yesterday.
well sum-bitch, look what I found on my front stoop tonightā¦.the swag keeps rollinā inā¦..āhang in thereā everyone
Perfectly understandable. I admire your patience. God only knows how you held on for as long as you did!
Thanks for your understanding, means a lot.Perfectly understandable. I admire your patience. God only knows how you held on for as long as you did!
Always hate seeing the forum lose another old-timer.
Nope. I think this forum is full of whiny bitches, who want everything done exactly on their schedule, under their own terms; and those same crybaby whiners refuse to accept the reality of everything that has happened that is/was completely out of Ford's control. Those are the shitbirds I am talking about, when I say that folks just want to blame Ford.
