Does Ford monitor these forums? Are they listening to us future owners? It seems everyone wants the bronco prewired for hardtop. Will they listen?

[HypebeastDad]

I’m just wondering does Ford monitor this forum and are you listening to the customers. This could cause you guys a lot of sales due to lack of transparency and kinda snobbish behavior. We were never told at the time of placing orders that the soft top meant no hardtop down the road. That’s almost a dealbreaker for me and a lot of other future bronco owners. I feel Ford needs to make this right and give us prewired Broncos or slash the price of our builds for purposely not letting us know their plan. They knew about the wiring issue from day one why not say anything. Also how many will leave Ford due to the hard top nonsense?

They might but good luck with them getting an actual idea of consumers. There are far too many entitled crying kids on here.

Seems like a lot of people don't mind that it's not prewired when getting the soft top option. So if they're listening, who would you like them to listen to?

If you want the hard-top, then wait for the hard-top. If you’re fine with the soft-top, then switch to the soft-top and get your Bronco earlier. I don’t know how much simpler it can get. Ford is literally telling you how to get your Bronco this year. No matter how upset people get, Ford can’t make hard-tops any faster. The damage is already done. Im not sure how much they care what the forum thinks at this point. Because all they can do is invest in manufacturing of the hard-tops. And that takes time.

Yes Yes No

Understood. I just feel if they let people know about the wiring earlier they’re would be even less soft top orders.

I ordered a Wildtrak. I’m not even able to opt for the soft top. I would love if Ford allowed the Wildtrak and First Edition orders to be able to order a soft top with the electrical/plumbing components. Just build the WT and instead of putting the MIC, just put the soft top. Problem solved for WT and FE orders battling the MIC challenge.

Uh, we knew this in Oct/Nov at least. Confirmed.

But in all fairness, we did not know that you couldn't get a hardtop for a while.

I agree this should be an option. “Prewired for hard top”.

I think you give the pissing and moaning on this site too much credibility.
First, have you ever heard the axiom, “you can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all of the time”? That’s what your dealing with in this forum.

Second, what are there.. 10,000 members on this site? From What I can see from the threads, there’s maybe 100 who are all wrapped up in their undershorts about the pre-wiring for the soft tops/hard tops. Even so, let’s quadruple that to 400. 400 is roughly .4% of the roughly 90k reservations Ford has. In my book, that’s called “mice nuts”.
I’m guessing they lost more Bronco orders because the color green wasn’t available.

Anyway, just relax. Order the Bronco config you want, and sit back and patiently wait until it shows up. Good things come to those who wait. The best thing I did after placing the order for the Bronco I wanted is to stop checking this freaking site every day. In general, most of the complaint posts are created by ppl who could use a prescription for Xanax.
If you can’t wait, then cancel your order and go get something else. You‘ll be happier, (hopefully).

If Ford had said exactly that, then there would be no question. The problem is they left it open and added in the reservation number factor, and that they would continue to schedule hard tops as available, and that they were dumping millions of dollars into the hard top issue. So, if you have a day 1, first 10 minute reservation and #1 allocation as I do, it’s just not that simple. You don’t know if you’re build is next week or next year.

Since I also ordered a 2dr, I would have to compromise on two fronts (doors and tops) to get (possibly) an earlier build. That letter and Fords lack of communication transparency regarding issue specifics actually made it much worse for some of us.

Immediately begin discussing pineapple pizza while discussing this issue and see what happens.

 

[Rivers90]

I hope Ford is not listening to this form. For every good post there seems to be 10 bad ones. Too many posts from people who want to turn the Bronco into something besides an off-road vehicle.

I originally ordered a 2 door WT, slightly prefer the 2 dr looks over the 4 door but it’s not that much of a difference in my eyes and I actually prefer the soft top for the convenience of it so I switched my order to a 4 door BL. Got a build date . I am happy but I do understand and sympathize for the customers who don’t want to switch.

I feel you. I’m new on the forum. Just wondering. I have a vin and a June build date. Just wish it was prewired for me then.
