Is the 2023 MOD Top still in play?

[Last Ride Bronco]

Is Ford still saying 2023 models can get a painted MOD Top? We all know people who have literally held out for almost 2 years for this one item. What a kick in the pants if you can’t get MOD tops in 2023.

Nothing confirmed, but best guess is yes. Basing this on the semi-confirmed rumors that next year’s special edition will be heritage edition that would include the mod top

Despite what is rumored about, we won’t REALLY know until 2023 order banks are opened.

bet it will be late availability just like Heritage Edition will be.

My thoughts precisely.

That would be another "kick in the nuts".

Yeah, I would probably not buy a first year of a new top given their track record.....

That would be another "kick in the nuts".

At this rate, what is another six months or so?

II wouldn't expect it till this time next year, if the 23MY launches in November(?) of this year.

Didn't people have trouble with the replacement tops too? It's a crapshoot either way

Not going to lie... I'm half tempted to take mine to a boat painter and get my MIC gel coated gloss black. I think the gel coat will hold up better than paint and resist scratches a little better.

I bought into the Mod top for 2022 promise and priority 99'd my order until I received the June 25th, 2021, email from Ford.

Hello,

We're happy to report that Broncos are officially rolling off the production line. Here. We. Go. But the ongoing challenges with our hardtop roof supplier continue to impact our plans. We now have to produce more soft tops than planned and we won't be able to solely produce customer orders, as hoped. This also means a longer wait for those who ordered a molded in color hardtop. Additionally, for the 2022 model, hardtop roof timing has taken another hit: our black, contrasting white, body color painted modular, and dual top roofs will now arrive in the 2023 model year. Until then, we can offer the carbonized gray molded in color hardtop as the only hardtop option for 2 and 4-door Broncos.

So glad I didn't waste my time, took it off priority 99 right after that email and had it built.

So glad I'm at 4800 smiles and not worrying about this....

Ford will say yes, then it will be a no.

A more entertaining thread would have been, "Ford's Marketing Department's Top 10 Reasons for No 2023 Mod Top."

If you do this, I am interested in how it goes, cost, and how it holds up on the trail. So please post.
