MY22 B&P Timing and Interesting Call with Ford

[CADUC3US]

As one of the many without a VIN I am starting to feel the concern about getting a VIN before the new B&P is released in mid September. Getting locked in right before knowing the new options would be hard to accept even though I don't think there will be many changes outside of new colors and/or wheels. This leaves the decision to "99" my order and waiting till late December to maybe find out when I am getting a build or sit and hope I get a VIN before the middle of September and the new options are not massive changes. It would be nice if Ford just announced the options/changes now as some of us might be convinced to switch to a MY22 and give them more time to figure out the rest of the MY21's. This leads me to the phone conversation I had with Ford (1-800-334-4375) while thinking about this. The representative made it seem that it is very likely that after this last round of scheduling (7/19) there will be very few scheduled before the MY22 even though there are roughly 3 weeks till mid September. I know she does not have all the information but it felt like she was trying to backtrack a little after saying that, almost like it was a slip of information. Anyway, anyone else feeling the pressure to just press pause and see what the MY22 options bring?

Model year changeover isn't until mid-December. So we have 3.5+ months of MY 21 production left. Lots of folks with 4 door soft tops should be getting scheduled up until the model year changeover and the rest of the FE's as well.

Those phone Ford reps are never in-the-know. It's been well-documented that there is more factual information on B6G than what they typically know.

Unless it's a mod top, (no chance) then build me a MY21 and ship it!! There is nothing they can add that I could need, they could take away options I've been drooling over for a year, or make them cost more(like mod bumpers now option for Badlands in MY22)...or remove colors (please don't take away Velocity Blue ) we will find that out tonight it seems though.
I am ready for a MY21, and I hoped with all the delays and people being bumped out to 22, they wouldn't change anything. Some people will be upset will changes, some will be very accepting...

Quite a few of us just received build dates and VINs yesterday.

Just put a hardtop on it. No worries until next year

I’m trying to tell myself that as well, to stay excited for MY21. I am curious to see what colors they reveal tonight.

yeah man. This has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride that's for sure.

After last week's news I switched to a softie on Friday, hoping to get scooped up in yesterday's scheduling. I did not.

Now I'm getting a trickle of info about new options/colors... so then I start thinking my plan to get my Bronco in Sept seems squashed, so I'm now I'm looking at a Oct/Nov, might as well just wait for the MIC (that I really want) and get a capable bumper or new color or whatever else they add... Or do I hold on the softie for a MY21...

When the 2022 B&P is released in September, my understanding is folks with 2021 orders will be contacted by their dealerships to basically convert their current order to a 2022 (add/delete new options, colours, etc.). However, with there still being a few months left to get a 2021 build date, does doing this take you out of the running for a chance at a 2021 build?

If you don’t do this in September, does that put you behind if you decide to do this in November/December, when you’re 100% sure you’re not getting a MY21 build date?

 

[RG7]

There are 0 guarantees on ‘22 B&P being online in September. That date is for the order banks. B&P was never mentioned in any of these communications. Very likely we’ll be ordering our trucks with no B&P, just the order guide.

I pressed pause back in March

Is your build a 4 door with soft top??
Then you'll have a better idea about getting a MY21 VIN
If it's a 2 door, well....

It’s a four door big bend, with a 2.7. I switch to a soft top over two weeks ago, A decision I’m fine with as I drove an outer banks soft top and found it to be just fine. I’m saving and waiting on the hard top to be available later next year or 2023.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Doesn't matter what you decide. Ford will fuck it up somehow.

I went baseBase so I could figure out which I'd prefer, 2 or 4 doors, Squatch or not, etc etc, but I definitely would have gotten a manual Squatch.....
Now, my shit is built but I won't see it until possibly Nov/Dec..... at which point, I'm only a short time away from ManSquatches rolling down the line.
I'd be thrilled with my rig right now ... not so much come Dec or later.

Mine was always 99'd but I ended up removing the constraint parts from my Bronco and sent it in as a 19 hoping to get it built before the end of the year. If not, I can add back the packages and parts I took off in an attempt to get it this year.
