Since Ford is already scheduled into May, leaves maybe four months and change of scheduling before the presumed 2023MY change, My supposition is that they are going to concentrate on high profit Raptors with the limited hardtop production capability for at least three of those months (don't forget, they are not exactly cranking out hard tops and they could still spam the remainder of normal Broncos as softies), so it sounds plausible at the least.

Not saying I believe it, hence the question smart ass.
Obviously somebody believes it and you put enough faith in it to post it here. In the last 2 days we have seen Broncos won't be scheduled at all in March and now another thread with no hardtops for the rest of the year. Use common sense folks.

No truth to it. Store I work at had 2 Hard tops scheduled today out of 3 that were scheduled.
Thanks for the intelligent response with actual facts.

I have the MIC and I was sent a VIN today with a week of 5/2 build date.

lol...the nonsense people believe.

Considering all that has ACTUALLY happened with this roll out ... and the MIC in particular, at this point pretty much anything is PLAUSIBLE.


They have issues with MIC 2.0.
I have one. It has serious flaws.
Honey-comb pattern shadowing .... The windows won't stay seated in heavy cross winds. Many reports of bad seams, delamination, etc etc.

I can easily see them stopping or DRASTICALLY reducing the few MIC builds they do have.

Not just the Raptor, but the Everglades will eat into that production. The Everglades only comes with a MIC. And as a special edition, you can guarantee that unscheduled orders that opt for it will receive priority over stock trims.

Now, I doubt what the OP had heard is 100% true. But no doubt the MIC will become even more constrained on stock trims as the production capacity is barely adequate as it is.
