Just curious why you wouldn't get an OBX now?

I reserved a OBX because that was the first trim level that allowed to choose Mid/High/Lux packages . I can still build it out as a Wildtrak but the metalized dash and interior trims available sux for me . You can build and order any Bronco you want though , you just can't change models to a Sport . People go crazy over the slightest thing ,LOL .

I was just curious about your reasoning. I agree about the OBX interior, and it has me looking elsewhere also.

I went to the Ford Chat and asked about model change and this is what she sent to me.

Customers can make changes to their vehicle configuration such as door options, interior/exterior color, powertrain, and accessories when they place their order at their selected dealership. If a customer wants to change their model at this time, they will need to cancel their original reservation and make a new one. Their reservation place in line will be based on the new reservation OR they can wait for the possibility that a process is put in place.

im pretty sure that might mean, for now if you want to change your trim as of this moment get a new reservation, I say hold on to ur reservation and wait for your dealer to ask you to place an order

If that is the case then I'm glad a made a reservation for a BB and a BD.

I don’t understand why everyone is upset. They gave you the option to pick what you want. It’s not like they showed you one model and added six more models after you already placed your order. They are not telling you that you can’t buy one. Y’all should have been researching which bronco you wanted vs rushing to be the first to hit the buzzer.

Lol those ford reps don’t know shit. You guys need to stop posting things like this. Some forum members are making this process almost as frustrating as Ford themselves

First- you make trim changes ( except upgrade to FE ) it’s in the official email Ford sent out to all about 8-11-20. Second, can’t research something that has not been fully priced and optioned. Hell can’t even do that with the current B & P

I think that’s the most likely scenario. A Ford rep can’t change the model/trim when you call in, but when you order, you’ll be able to.

This has all been discussed before . It's even listed in the Ford Bronco FAQs that you can make changes .

@marjen

Same. I’m done with OBX. For many reasons. Switching from AMB OBX to A51 Badlands. Mostly due to no mod top day 1, poor interior choices and AMB clashing with MIC top. Going A51 badlands. I’m actually saving money in the process given I’d stick with the MIC top, no need to buy 33s on OBX, marine grade comes standard where OBX is 2.2k leather. And the mod top at a future date for OBX will probably be 3k w sound deadening freight and tax.

That better not be the case because its not our fault that Ford went and upped the cost of all of the models to the next trim level price!

Huh? Prices haven't changed...the Build and Price numbers just include the delivery and not just the MSRP. MSRP + delivery is exactly the same and you were going to have to pay both all along.

As mentioned previously, changing model is completely different than changing trim. This thread is just causing confusion and should be closed, IMHO.

FAQ Ford.com:

Can I change the equipment series?
If you want to change your vehicle equipment series such as changing from Base to Big Bend, you do not need to make a new reservation. You will be able to make these changes when you place your order.

Don't panic. By "Modell" I'm sure they mean Bronco 2/4 door vs Bronco Sport.
