Will Enough Customers Switch to Soft Tops?

[_bxt]

I'm curious how many people are interested in taking Ford up on their 'free hardtop prep kit" offer and getting soft tops now. I wonder if enough people will switch that Ford will be producing only customer pre-orders.

It's basically like ordering the dual top and paying for the hard top portion at a later date, isn't it?

All of you should!

I’m switching on Tuesday… had to switch trims as well since I was originally a Wildtrak. I really wanted the painted Mod Top so didn’t feel like waiting to 2022 just get the MIC. Figure I will drive the soft top for a year and then order either a black or color match top when they become available.

I switched to soft top a few weeks ago with 7/23 res. Fingers crossed for 2021…

I hope enough switch so that I get my MIC in 2021. Haha.

This new option is weighing heavily on my mind(and wallet). I will probably do the soft top now, and wait it out for the MOD top later and see what color top will go best with Velocity Blue.
But now I'm considering adding Sasquatch to my Badlands...

A few percent I suspect. Not without some sort of at least estimate of what the hard top would cost later.

Soft top orders were around 10% of all orders.

I really don't understand why people care about the wiring. I've never even had a car with a rear wiper before, and have no intention of ever using it.

I switched last Thursday!

Soft top orders were 7% of the USOB as of June. My guess is that they will be 21% or higher by July 16th.

I switched last week after my dealer confirmed with their Ford rep that I will NOT be scheduled before that September switch, was told only FE will be scheduled over the next weeks. (and if I do get scheduled I have it in writing and they can deal with installing that stuff for free later on on their own dime).

I wanted dual top because I never had a vehicle like this and wasn't sure what I'd like, keep one, sell the other. One of the main reasons for me to buy this thing is the convertible aspect and dealing with panels and all that stuff isn't all that appealing, especially when out and about. Bring the panels? Drive around in the cold when the fog rolls in? Or mount the softie and open and close when ever I want? That's what I really want.

But ideally I want a hard top in the back, soft top in the front, a large 'sunrinder' soft top for the two front rows, but the convenience of a real hard top in back. Anybody listening out there in aftermarket land?

I love that I can close the softie when ever I want, be it too much heat or parking in the sun for hours or driving along the coast and that damn fog rolling in.

We'll see how I like it....

I'd happily compromise on the top, but not on the 2DR

Don't let the secret out!!!

I also hope that enough switch to keep the reservation holders getting their broncos and not too many ending up on the dealer lots...although I know they have to make their living as well.

I really don't know the answer to that Mark. My Jeep Wrangler has the rear wiper, and defrost. The only time I use the wiper is to see if it still works, and with the window standing straight it rarely gets any frost on it. But, we wants what we wants. So if that's folks want that's cool beans in my book.
