I ordered a Big Bend soft top cloth seats on 4/7 what is the likelihood my car will be made this year?
I kept everything pretty basic I chose mid package, soft top, cloth seats, and added the step rails & agreed to do without the subwoofer due to it being a constraint.No idea. It comes down to dealer allocation and production constraints. The more basic the vehicle, the more likely you will get it this year.
So basically because I have cloth seats they will not make my car?There's 426 new BB's soft tops on cars.com right now ... just buy one.
You need to talk with your dealer about their allocation and where your spot in their line is, that should give you your answer.
edit: cloth seats on new orders is a constraint so unless your dealer is ordering it out of their stock it won't get built and then the subwoofer is a constraint for everyone, nothing to agree about on that, none of us are getting it right now.
Disregard that ... BB doesn't give you the option for anything else anyways but here's the latest for this week's scheduling:So basically because I have cloth seats they will not make my car?
Thank you for that! I was indeed panicking hahahaDisregard that ... BB doesn't give you the option for anything else anyways but here's the latest for this week's scheduling:

The part about asking your dealer about allocation and your spot at that dealer is still spot on though! Find out how many Bronco's Ford is giving that dealer and how many orders they have and which one yours is. IE, if they have 20 orders and you're number 15 but they only have 12 allocations for the year then no, you won't get it (but if you're #3 then you should).
Constraints are very important too, see the picture, IF you were a Wildtrak you have to go leather, IF you were a Badlands you couldn't get manual transmission or the optional non-Sasquatch wheels.
Sorry to give you a heart attack but everything else should be correct.
Good to know! Thank you! Issue with going out and buying one off a car lot is they mark them up dramatically & they’re used. I test drove a 2022 that was marked up over 15K than what I ordered a brand new one for. I’m fine with waiting just wasn’t sure what the time frame looked like!4-door Big Bend squishy top is the "easy button" for Ford. Only way he's not getting one is if his dealership has way more orders than allocations and that's only really true for a handful of dealerships any longer.
But otherwise I agree with Lowcountry, there are several hundred 4-door new Big Bends on Autotrader, Cars.com etc. Just go buy one.
They were still open when I ordered & I believe they still haven’t closed yet but will soon!I thought 2023 order-banks were closed?
That is a great idea, unfortunately most of those listed are retail orders that aren’t actually for sale, they just list them to generate leads, ask me how I know.4-door Big Bend squishy top is the "easy button" for Ford.
