If you have the budget, get the First Edition. No question. A wired tow hitch and a roof rack can be added later no problem.

You had good foresight to grab two reservations - gives you flexibility. Even with the update to 7000 FEs, it’s going to be a desirable build. I wouldn’t let the late availability weigh on my decision. Weren’t not sure what late availability even means - maybe FEs are prioritized in the build process so you could have your Bronco by august!?! We’ve waited this long...
Unless you are getting Lightning Blue or despise orange interior accents, there is no reason from the actual product standpoint in my mind to go with the First Edition. Ford doubling the number of FEs to 7000 doesn't make it very special. 4DR FEs are a compromised vehicle that you paid extra for. You might get yours sooner being an FE, but I would go with a Badlands to save money and get additional payload which it sounds like you want.

Yeah they said that, and then weeks later said there is a shortage of 2.7 and Sasquatch. I hope your right because folks that are tossing out that much money need a bone... but then again, the Black interior for FE was announced as late (22?).
Its all a crap shoot right now but until the lock in date, no need to do anything rash..like cancel your reservation.
Agreed. My take on the 2.7 and leather etc shortage announcement is that depending on your config and Rez date, it _may_ delay your order. For these items, I expect them to be allocated to FE builds first. In fact, I’d expect everything possible to be allocated to FE builds first to ensure all that are ordered are produced in MY21.

pretty sure the FE number will be whatever gets converted, Ford isnt going to come back and say oh we have extra now. It could be less then 3500 too.
I was in a similar boat, I think i settled on FE with lightning blue, because,
A) Lightning Blue
B) Lightning Blue
C) Lightning Blue + Black interior
D) somewhat unique because .... Lightning. Blue
E) Most likely prioritized Production
F) Towing isn't really that much different than a badlands,
You could almost def sell at no loss if decide you want to get your 22 with your second res

Good. Then move those remaining 3500 sas and 2.7 engines to other trims
Other intel has indicated they’ll build 7k no matter how many convert

Do I need an FE equipped Bronco with all the bells and whistles, f*&k no; do I want one, hell yeah! If it was a need I would get an OBX with lux, no Sasquatch but where is the fun in that.
