I just checked with my dealer on my order (2022 Base, 2.3L, auto, aux switches, roof rack, HD bumper) and Ford told him that if we want to see the Bronco delivered in 2022, the HD bumper needs to be removed from the order. Delivery won't happen until 2023 with the HD bumper. To be clear, I am a late reservation/order holder - 8/16/21 reservation; 10/15/21 order. Has anyone else had this issue?

From dealer:
"your order is converted and the build time will go off the reservation date however I had to remove HD front bumper/front steel bash plate as Ford has told me no orders will be built in the 2022 model year with that option."

I'm definitely bummed out about this, since my bronco is already super basic, so the options I selected stand out and are important to me. This is a small local dealer that I trust. My father started working there in college rustproofing, and retired a few years ago after working as controller for decades. And, we've worked with this specific salesperson on other purchases. So, I know it isn't shady. Competent? Well, I'd say the Bronco is testing the competence (and patience) of salespeople across the board...

I don't think that is the case. I had the HD Steel Bumper and I am still scheduled for 12/20/21. I will keep checking. But I haven't seen anything stating this would be an issue.

Yeah, I wonder if early reservations/orders that are close to their build dates are fine. But, maybe Ford is anticipating supply issues for HD bumpers as they start moving into the year and getting to those of us who were asleep at the wheel when we should have been reserving/ordering in 2020?

Pushed back a little and got this response: "We are 100% sure as we were told directly from our Ford Rep."

Anybody who thought 2022 might settle down and things will be predictable - was wrong. Was I the only one?

It seems like no one else has heard of this so i don’t think your dealer is correct

I ordered Heavy duty bumper with my basesquatch last month and had no problem. But I’m a July 2020 reservation holder.
