Should Ford just cancel MY 21?

I want a 21, it is a 50 year anniversary bronco to my 1971!

Other than a small contingent that wants the supposed cool factor of a limited run first model year, I feel you'll find most would agree or jump on board with many more delays.

I suspect there is a price increase planned for MY22. My dealer didn't respond when I asked if I ordered a mansquatch (likely MY22) my price would be locked in. I suspect they believe MY22 ressies will get options along with a slight price increase. Seems to be the way the game works and has been baked into the model if I had to guess.

They did the same thing with the RS. I got my 2016 on Dec 28, 2016. Not sure how they figure shit out because I got my 2016 AFTER some people got their 2017s. And it's not like there were tons of options for the RS - you either got the RS1 package or the RS2.

Ford's awesome with this sort of stuff.

I talked to my dealer and they said i was on top of the list so heck no. I want my MY21. I wonder if it will add collector value.

Probably, but not during my lifetime...

Its my understanding that legally one can sell MY22 car after Jan 1, 2021. Should/could Ford just launch with MY22 for an extended production run?

Orders and deliveries would still start and proceed on the same timeline as we are currently expecting but would just have the MY22 designation.

This would make things easier for them to get all reservations into one model year and not have to do a production changeover just a few months after production is ramped up.

I'd prefer they do the Mustang thing and just call them '22s. It would certainly reward us early adopters with not taking a depreciation hit just because our Bronco was 2 months older than someone else's.

I just saw this from Motor Biscuit. Ford will start production in May 2021.

Don’t be too harsh on Ford they have only been doing this for 117 years, they need a little more time to get it right.

I reserved hours after launch (once the website started working lol) and I wouldn’t mind this. He’s not saying delay the bronco further but making them all ‘22 MY makes sense.

Should someone get a ‘21 while you get a ‘22 just because they ordered mid package and you ordered lux? Just make them all the same to prevent people from getting upset

Should/could Ford just launch with MY22

Yes. Cancel 2021 models for those who ask.

Resale values for the same vehicle between MY21 and MY22 aren't going to be different except for mileage.

If you go to sell in 3 years you will most definitely see the difference in a model year 2021 versus a 2022 with the same mileage.

Says 7/14 on mine, but Ill be pissed if they cancelled cause a few people aint getting '21s
