Switched to soft top

[Herbie]

This was the case for hardtops, yes, but I believe there was also a cut off date for scheduling. I could be mixed up, though!

You are correct:

• 21MY Bronco Balance Out – Final 21MY Bronco orders will be due on Thursday, September 30. Please note: All Scheduled & UNSCHEDULED spec changes and cancellations will be shut off in WBDO on Friday, October 1. Therefore, please make sure all your unscheduled orders are spec’d exactly as you would like them prior to October 1.

Ooh, based on a 9/30 cut off, they may squeek in if allocations work in their favor!

It should help speed up the build process but ETA is so difficult to project. Hopefully within 30 days you will have it but no one really knows sadly.

In the meantime. I have the soft top on my badlands and love it. So does my wife. Its not like the thin flimsy soft top that was on my 1991 Jeep Renegade lol. Plenty of headroom and Im 6'1, pretty quiet considering--I can hold a conversation at speed with 37 inch mud tires to boot. Soft top also very versatile. Examples. I like how the rear of soft top lifts when you need something in the back cargo tailgate area. Plus its lighter, easier/faster to open/close than MIC, superior for hard offroading, and it looks better in person than you might think.

I do plan on getting the 2.0 MIC some day to have on hand for whatever reason down the road i.e. if I move somewhere rainy or lots of snow or bronco outside 100% of the time 24/7 365. You can't go wrong having both tops.

Just trying to give you something good to chew on and look forward to while waiting. Hope this helps

Switched 8/24, got a VIN and a build date on 9/7 I believe.

It was a week for me. Switched it on a Wednesday and got the 9/6 build week email the following week. Just got the shipped notification this morning. Should have by October 12.

What engine did you order? I was told that even if I switched to the soft top if I had the 2.7L it was still going to take longer so just left my MIC top asis.

I'm at 366 days since first reserving. I switched from dual tops to soft when it was only hinted the soft top would jump you up the line (late April).

Today is 365 for me my friend. I know exactly how you feel just one day behind. Maybe you can tell me how I'm going to feel tomorrow every day until my bronco shows up.

Thank you! That’s good info to know. Makes me a little less nervous about the soft top

Damn that was fast! Pretty sure I switched 9/10 and nothing yet.

I also had a 7/14 reservation. I switched to Soft Top in August, just a day or two before Ford's "no new hardtops until 2022" email, and then I got scheduled for production the very next week.

Dang! I was hoping I’d get something the following week but still waiting…. It’s almost been 2

Well, I believe they are no longer scheduling for MY21, so you are likely a MY22.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe they are still scheduling soft tops (just no scheduling this week). Ive seen builds out to like second week of november and rumor mill says the switch over to 2022 is December 13th so still a few weeks left to schedule for 21

Reserved Oct 2020, order 3/18 switched to soft top july 16 before shit totally hit the fan with the hard tops and still waiting to be scheduled

 

[bbkat]

Like many are saying, hard to give a definite timeframe with so many variables. Here's my experience for reference:

7/15/20 reservation
3/2 order BL, 4dr, 2.7, non-SAS, MIC, high, tow
4/22 production scheduled for 6/28 (VIN)
6/26, 7/6, 8/5, 8/7 production dates pushed
8/12 switched to soft top
9/2 BUILT
delivery estimate by 9/30 (Los Angeles)

My build had everything that would delay it. 2.7, lux, tow package, sas. I was a day two reservation. I am willing to bet yours is going to go into production soon.
