Ford has stated numbers at maximum production at MAP of about 120k Broncos a year.. Maybe slightly more if they cut back on Ranger production. The F150 plant is way different the the Ranger/Bronco plant
You are in a similar position that I am in. I have an 08 Escape on its last leg. Bronco will be a nice upgrade. If you go to a soft top, you will likely be 21MY depending on your dealer allocation. I reserved August 7, 2020 and switched to a soft top and I am scheduled. You are day 1. Check out a soft top at a dealer near you and see if you can live with it for a year or two. Who knows, maybe you will like it better. Maybe there will be an aftermarket hard top that you like better. Or more importantly, maybe your wife will like the soft top. Good luck! You’re in better shape than I was in with your early reservation.
It's really cool to know other people do it too. I used to only buy used vehicles for the value, but the 10 year plan makes the value for a new vehicle worth it.
Thank you! She actually saw a soft top at a dealership and said she would be ok with it. I know I'll be happier with a hard top, but I think I will use some of that incentive cash Ford was talking about giving to the dealers to keep us hooked, if I can. I thought Ford was putting credit into our Ford Pass accounts at some point too.
You will get the Ford Pass points about two weeks after taking possession of your Bronco. I’m a hard top guy too, but I really like the ease of the soft top. Looking forward to it now.
If your last name is ford and you buy a jeep. I mean cmon man.
Oh nice. Thanks I didn’t see that one posted. You think they will be able to reach 60k? That would mean if they built 9k this month they’d be at 30k and we both think they dropped production from August’s numbers so maybe 5-6k in SEP. that puts them at 26-27k produced. Meaning in October November and one week in December (maybe) they’d have to produce 33-34k and the haven’t even topped 10k in a month. I think that the numbers are going to be in the 40k range for final MY21 built. Just my thoughts. Thanks again for the info.And here's the August Release showing 21,623 Bronco production YTD (end of August) -
You'll see them posted early every month - the August Release was posted 9/2 -
So 96,000+ MY21 by Dec prob looks unlikely, but 60,000 might be possible - maybe more -
The Sept numbers will be interesting - w all the shutdowns & re-work problems - Sept production might be less than August ?? - who knows -

Getting a Bronco will be worth it. It's a nice ride, though you might be able to benefit from getting the 2022 model that way us that have one can report all the gremlins so the 22 won't have them. The rides smooth, the 2.7 has plenty of power (unless you own a g-wagon) enough room for two adults and some kids. Once the aftermarket start putting out products it will give you the ability to customize the heck out of it
So true. It's been something I have to deal with all the time. I'm just glad Ford makes good products. My Grandpa drove Chevys. But he also lived alone in the woods.
As long as I get a build date this year, I think I can make it work. It's the not knowing thing...
Actually, they have built over 20,000 but probably less than 30-35k. I don't expect production to exceed 45k this year, but it will be +/- 5,000 units from that number is my guess.You’re also incorrect. You are looking at fleet VIN builds. This is what you need to look at. It isn’t in build number sequence. It is just a unique number given to each build. Ford hasn’t even Built 20,000 Broncos to date and they wont build 96,000 this year. If you think that you are delusional.
