Why no factory soft top for Bronco Raptor?

[raptorusmaximus]

Has Ford ever stated why there is no factory soft top option for the BR? I don't ever plan on putting the hard top back on if I can find a decent soft top.

The Raptor is the top of the line Bronco, and soft top is not top of the line.

I’m pretty sure these were supposed to come with the painted hard tops from the factory, but we all know what happened there.

80k vehicle with de-lamination/snake skin/rattle issues? (some of these are fixed? idk)
No win situation for Ford here...

Both tops are flawed, but I would take the cosmetic flaws of the soft top to the physical flaws of the MIC top. Hoping that the MOD top will be a passable replacement.

Not sure I’d call the MIC top top of the line

Well, you can spend 90k on a jeep 392 and get dual tops..... whats the point of having a pop top if you need three people and a heard of elephants to remove it AND if it does rain you get whet because your top is at home in the garage.......

It looks like JEEP has it all over the bronco when it comes to top options. Maybe Best top will get it right....

I don't need any help removing our hard top. I also don't compare options on a vehicle that's built a following over 80 years to vehicle in it's second year.

Why not? It's its only competition. And that vehicle that's built a following over 80 years is already copying options from the Bronco.

I’ve got both tops for my wife’s Jeep so I don’t have to f#ck around with the hard top all the time. I put the soft top on in April and she’s good until October. I want the same flexibility with the BRaptor.

Have you seen the hard top? it's not top of the line either...

The softtop has mechanical flaws for sure. I'm hoping for a recall and an updated version of it. The fabric is super stretched out on mine at 5k miles. Flaps and rattles plus with a widewind at highway speeds you can see daylight the sides lift up so much.
