DIO

[BroncoDave66]

So I was finally able to place boy order yesterday. The dealership tells me that I can't order the winch, pod lights or Bimini top but will have to wait and order them at a later time. These options were all available on the Ford website builder. Has anyone been successful in getting type of accessories/options added to the dealer order?

Those all should be easy to add later. But the dealer risks losing you to the aftermarket.

My dealer told me the same thing on pod lights and Sunrider top.

I was able to order the Bimini top with my original order.

I find it hard to believe that Ford wants... what is it... $1,300 for the Sunrider top? That's crazy. I got a Sunrider for the wife's Jeep 2 years ago, I think it ran me around $600 or $700. I would absolutely wait for aftermarket on that one.

I'm confused about why you would buy a Sunrider top for the Bronco seeing that the roof panels can just be taken off and you get the same effect. Seems like alot of money to replace a removable top with a fold back top.

FYI I don't think Ford prices include the install on DIO. From what I understand dealers are still waiting on the install hour quotes from Ford to put together pricing sheets on those so I think adding them has to wait for that.

Jeep twill Sunrider is $950.00 installed. So Ford is getting about $350.00 more. Not sure if these will be available aftermarket. Their rep told me Ford owns the rights to these.

It's mostly paying for the ease of just flipping the Sunrider open as opposed to removing the panels and stashing them and then need to reinstall them later. If you're making multiple stops and don't want to leave the roof open, that quickly turns into a PITA.

I could not order the Bimini. Apparently it was not in the system. So it's on a sidenote to add later.

My dealer assured me that the DIO items are in my build but will not show up on the preview order. I'm not worried about them getting done at delivery, either way.

Jeep Sunrider: I must've found it somewhere else or on sale, I paid around $700 I believe. And it's easy enough to install. So, for me, if I want a Sunrider, I'll wait. Ford definitely asking a premium.

Same goes for the tow package, but I'm paying the $600 to have Ford install it. Mostly because I plan to tow from day 1 and don't feel like waiting for aftermarket to put something out there. Then again, by the time I get my Bronco, the aftermarket might be flooded with tow kits for $100+.

If you're married you'd understand. I tried having that discussion with the wife, it is her Jeep after all. Spending the money easier than fighting the fight.

BestTop has a service now where they will come to your house/work to install it. No dealer trying to figure out the aftermarket part.

Waiting, assuming it is the same for all mfgs as it is for that parts company @618TRVLWILD had links to, was "after the first 100 units were sold". So what's that? 2 hours after the first week of June?
