So my dealership called to tell me Ford is not allowing anyone to wait for MY23 that everyone must convert to 22. Anybody else hear that? I was waiting on white mod top but told must convert to either soft or MIC. "That I could have the MIC top painted" I am pretty sure the dealer is blowing smoke up my ass and pulled the trigger on converting my order for 2022 ehhhh but who knows. Sent an email to Mike Levine. Oh yeah and by the way the dealer also said that anyone who wanted rapid red or the other color that was going away "ford is making all of those black and we are having to get people in right away to change colors before VIN numbers are given"

I'm waiting until MY23 for the Mod top... and my dealer agreed on the plan.

I believe Ford even specifically said themselves that if you want the Mod top, you may wait until MY23 and still receive the price protection...

...sounds like your dealer either is the first to provide brand new info, or is mistaken.

You do have to convert your order to a 2022 orderā€”it should actually already be converted automatically by Ford. But you can leave it with a 99 priority code (the ā€œdo not buildā€ code) and wait until 2023.

If you dealer doesnā€™t want you to have an order on-hold until 2023ā€¦ then I guess itā€™s time to switch dealers.

Edit: Although should be noted that there is no guarantees that weā€™ll get a white painted top in 2023. Ford hasnā€™t announced which colors will be availableā€¦ all we know is painted tops are delayed until 2023, but they never mentioned the color. You may end up with only a shadow black option in 2023.

Despite all the knee jerk reactions, there have been posts on this forum regarding Fordā€™s communication to dealers that unscheduled 2021 orders will/need to be converted to 2022 and would be 99ā€™d by Ford. If you donā€™t want it built, leave it that way when you confirm your order.

The comment with respect to AMB and Rapid Red also makes sense - if the order has to be converted to 2022 and those colors arenā€™t options, one of the current colors has to replace it until the customer says otherwise.

Bottom line. If your order, regardless of what year it is placed, consists of a modular painted roof, then you are MY 23 . Ford has stated in black and white ALL price protection certificates will be honored for MY 23 if your Bronco canā€™t be built during MY 22. You want a top they canā€™t build in MY 22, then your are MY 23. The dealer is a jerk.

Casey, per my dealer (Granger). You can Code 99 your order, and it stays that way through '22. Code 99 tells Ford to not build this Bronco until the priority code changes. When the white top comes available you can then tell the dealer to change the code, and order your Bronco. But, please verify this. Ford has been known to change horses in mid stream.

My 2 door painted hardtop is a 22 order with an order code of 99 and ā€œ painted topā€ in the comments. Your dealer can do the same. If they wonā€™t ask them to speak with the zone rep.

Thanks everyone, this was helpful. Thank you all!

I feel like my dealer is avoiding answering my questions and is just badgering me to come in and order a MY22. So, Iā€™m not the most confident in their information
