Yeah it's not the WT specifically..

It is a 4 door combined with either the HD bumper, V6, or Sasquatch that makes you lose the rack.

But, regardless, I should be able to purchase and install myself with no issues right?

Yes... But Ford said that if you want roof rails, wait till 2022. And rumor has it they may be changing how the top bolts to the Bronco so that the roof load is supported better... So I dunno.

I plan on ordering separately through the dealer for my WT. I speculate aftermarket parts will give us options too

Meaning, wait for a 2022 Bronco? Or just wait for the 2022 roof rail system? I'm beginning to think that going 100% aftermarket on the roof will be easier.

Do not wait.

Get the Bronco you want now and sort out the roof rack situation later... whether that be the Ford option, or the inevitable myriad of aftermarket ones.

The only actual Fact we know is that Ford officially stated that if you want the Roof rack on the trims that do not allow them now, you need to wait until the 2022.

With that said, most if not all WTs are probably going to be 2022 anyway... But I agree with the others... Unless you require a roof rack on day 1, aftermarket shall provide.

Thank you. That is helpful for sure. All except for my WT being a '22! I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve....don't want to wait any longer!
