Good question. I don't like the stock rims on Badlands so I'm also wondering if selecting the optional 33" Badlands wheels (with silver beauty ring) mandate change of tire, like the optional rims on Bronco Sport. Hope not.i am so with you on the 33” dilemma. Another factor. MT vs AT. my neighbor, who has a raptor, just replaced his 35” Mud tires with “35 all terrain. Said it drives like a new truck. Will their be 35” AT option with squatch? If not have to go with 33” on badlands, no?
Same here.Good question. I don't like the stock rims on Badlands so I'm also wondering if selecting the optional 33" Badlands wheels (with silver beauty ring) mandate change of tire, like the optional rims on Bronco Sport. Hope not.
This was discussed and I believe it was mentioned at the Tennessee super cel event.. something to do with the supplier and building a New plant to accommodate the needs??Are there rumors of modular tops being late delay?
Ok, I tried searching.Came up with nadaThis was discussed and I believe it was mentioned at the Tennessee super cel event.. something to do with the supplier and building a New plant to accommodate the needs??
I will see if I can find it... but I could be making all this up in my drunken state of mind..Ok, I tried searching.Came up with nada
Yes x1000. DM me if you ever find this. We getting into the home stretch for hard decisions.I am set on Badlands and 33” tires. I am not changing my mind again. Lol... Sure I will
However, I am really hoping to see a real Cactus Gray with Black Top / Next to Area 51 Black Top (Badlands with 33”). In addition, my understanding is that it should come with the Black Grille on Badlands if you get the Black top.
Is that correct?
Who else is deciding between Area 51 and Cactus Gray??
If you opt for the painted black top, you get the black grill and black mirrors too.Yes x1000. DM me if you ever find this. We getting into the home stretch for hard decisions.
It was posted on here a few weeks back. They're building a whole new plant or something where these tops will be made. Could lead to them being short on them. I'd have to do some digging to find who originally posted it.Are there rumors of modular tops being late delay?
I finally found something. @Carolina Jim and @BroncoGuy mentioned it. I wander if they could shed some more light on this?It was posted on here a few weeks back.

Pretty sure this is where I originally saw it. Towards the end of his post.I finally found something. @Carolina Jim and @BroncoGuy mentioned it. I wander if they could shed some more light on this?
I’m in a similar boat. 33” tires and torn between those two colors. I actually prefer the carbonized gray MIC look with these colors, especially A51 (we haven’t seen much with a CG in production). I have a feeling A51 is the rising star versus CG because we are seeing it more often. Line them up side by side and I think CG might outshine.I am set on Badlands and 33” tires.

Conflicting info....but then again what's new?I finally found something. @Carolina Jim and @BroncoGuy mentioned it. I wander if they could shed some more light on this?
Thank you for the very informative reply!Conflicting info....but then again what's new?
MIC + Painted tops supplied by Webasto Plymouth MI....well-established international company, but building a new production facility for this Ford contract.
One of the Ford dealers on the forum says Ford told them 2-3 weeks ago, "little to none MOD tops available initially."
Bronco Guy said a week ago he has heard zip about that. Plant construction scheduled to be completed Dec 2020. I think the reason we've seen such varied appearance of the MIC top is pre-pro units have been fabricated in different places/countries....plus Ford has changed the color spec at least once.
For sure?If you opt for the painted black top, you get the black grill and black mirrors too.
