I hate the look and I live in FL.
I'll definitely get a mash top at some point.

You can take off the hard top if you want the wind in your hair. You can't turn the soft top into a hard top. Soft tops are ugly. What's the mystery?
If anyone actually receives a 2 door 21 Bronco, you may have a rare collector car as soon as you pick it up.

I called Ford what a waste of my time they know nothing about delays
I really want to like the soft top. The function of it folding all the way down to the tailgate easily is awesome, that's exactly why I want it. I am super concerned about the longevity though, like other posters have said, it seems like the material has already lost its taught-ness over the frame. The way it bunches up when it folds looks like it stresses the material way too much and is going to wear way too quick.
I don't know why Bestop is only offering the regular trektop, not the trektop ultra that folds all the way back like the factory. Bestop produces the factory Wrangler softtop that does that, and it looks a lot better than the OEM Ford. And the regular version of the Trektop that only folds back to the big bunchy sunrider position above the rear seat is....not good looking either.

I plan on going topless most of the time anyway, so going to a soft top should work out just fine for me as both the hard top and soft top will be stored away anyway.

It's not hate of the soft top, rather it's preference for the hard top. My plan is to see what Bestop comes up with as a simple soft top (no frame) that keeps the elements out if I have the hard top off (really the clamshell part) for a road trip.
The factory soft top with framing and flip back functionality doesn't interest me.

Same here in Central NY. Dumped on with snow and the soft top on my Jeep has never been a issue. Going 2 door with the Bronco so will be a first with a hard top. Will probably end up ditching it for a softie down the road. Looks be damned I'm all about ease of use and not needing a spot to store a hard top. So nice to be out somewhere and the weather breaks and just take out the windows, chuck them in the back and drop the top for the ride home. Can't do that with a hard top.

Living in the sunbelt, not much need for defrost. A clean ride means you don't need the swiper. I agree that the hookups is really a non-factor for me.
I'm a former jeep owner and I just remember the noise, heat, cold, and security issues. The soft top versus hard top really comes down to practicality. The take rate probably speaks to the demographic of Bronco buyers here. Most of us have been around the block, have experience with soft tops, and we weigh things differently. With all that said, I have been toying with the idea of switching to the soft top.
this is exactly the reason i'm opting to wait for MY22 and the dual top option. i'm a little leary of just going full soft top since i've got hellacious allergies in the area i currently live in.
with retirement looming, i can live somewhere else and become allergic to a whole different set of pollen. took about 10 years in my current location to become sensitized to the local pollen, so there's a window for a soft top!

Ok I will give in, if Ford would put a Diesel engine in one I will take a soft top
Currently have a black softtop on my Wrangler. It’s too hot in the south to have the top down during the day for a daily driver, and when it’s up it’s not much better except that the sun is not on you directly. It’s like a greenhouse. The A/C cannot cool the interior enough to compete with oppressive June-September heat. I have to have a hard top, for this and other reasons.
