I thought it meant that of orders built in september, 19% could be 2dr. So if 10,000 are built in September, 1900 could be 2dr. And 5500 could be hard top.
This would make sense! Okay so up to 55% of the orders they can make in the month can be hard tops, so 46% will be soft top. Crazy. 50% of orders will be soft tops when only 20% of people want it.

The Wildtrak should be any day. The Big Bend should be in by the middle to end of July.
@Zach@Granger , Thanks for the update. We are coming to Des Moines in August, will we be able to make arrangements to go for a test drive or are they going to be off limits for test drives?

Which is why there will be some on dealer lots soon.... doesn’t upset me like others.... I still don’t want a soft top 😉

Well, since I like you , I’ll be mad with you 😉
I understand the situation and why they’re doing it. It’s just annoying to know Karen is going to walk into the local Ford dealership and buy a new 2021 Bronco for soccer practice runs before we get our reservation we placed last august lol.

No, of course they'll be available to drive.

Hey, does this count for Mach 1 orders as well? (No, I am not stalking you on two diff forums, I've been a very active member here for years until I opted to go with the Mach 1 instead)
I don't think this will fit as well with the Mustang.

Any idea of how to get on vehicle door storage bags for a soft top OBX. They are not orderable during build and don’t want the garage bags. Thanks

Misery loves company.

I hate this outcome as well. Drives me bonkers. And if dealer allocation filled for MY21 with stock soft tops…..dufuq! Brutal. Hoping for best expecting worst.

We are long overdue for an update, but better late than never right?

06/25/21 Email

I'm sure most of you have received the email, but if you haven't here is a link to the active thread on Bronco6G from the email yesterday. Obviously some disappointing news for those wanting a painted hard top, and I can understand some running out of patience if that is a "must have" option for their Bronco.

I like to think I'm a glass half full guy and there is some positives in this email. First, there is a large number of people who have reached out to us before this email saying, "I would switch to the soft top, but not being able to get a hardtop later ruins it for me!" I'm glad Ford addressed this issue and I'd expect a much larger number of customers to switch their order to a soft top with the announcement of the hard top prep kit.

I have updated both of my orders from WT to these production friendly orders to try to get my personal reservations in sooner (I'm a late September reservation, so these aren't on top of the list). In my opinion, this is a nicely equipped Bronco and shouldn't have any constraints. In 2 years if I have 20,000 miles on it, I really am of the opionion that the resale value is going to be high enough that it is better to enjoy the Bronco for 12-18 months trade it in, and then get what I "really want" at a later date.

Pricing Update

1. I've Updated a few people that have reach out and we are absolutely honoring our pricing. If you decide to switch to a soft top for an earlier delivery, decide to wait for a 2022 for a MIC or hold off for a 2023.

2. $2000 off Invoice pricing - This is our current pricing offer. This offer will run through the end of July and then we are going to end this special. So if you are on the fence that gives you a definite time and then we are going to focus on orders after that date and managing our existing reservations. We will still be aggressive on price, but we are going to revert back to our $1000 under invoice for August 1st and moving forward.

What the future holds for Granger Ford

We have had a little bit of restructuring with our staff. As many of you know Albert has been the catlyst for a lot of our involvement on the forum. He has had to take on less responsiblities at this time with our store. I won't go into the details, but I have nothing but positive things to say about him, he's still employed with us and is an important part of what we do, but we've had to reorganize what we do. This is part of the reason we haven't been as prompt with updates.

Upfits - A big part of what our store does is custom upfits. We don't have a lot of vehicles on the ground currently but leveling kits, lift kits, supercharger kits are a big part of what we do customizing F-series, Ram Trucks, Mustangs, Wranglers, etc. Needless to say, we are very excited to get our hands on a Bronco here shortly and be able to put some of these packages together!

Lastly, I can't go into detail, but we are working on making the experience special for those of you who take delivery at our store. We're waiting to receive Ford's blessing but we will update as we know more on that!

We have received a lot of email on the Friday afternoon email from Ford (6/25) and our staff is currently out of the office and will do our best to make any ajustments/changes to your order once they get back into the office on Monday. Thanks for your patience.

Appreciate you all!
Are both of these orders Badlands with the smaller engine and non Sasquatch? I'm just trying to confirm what you think doesn't have parts constraints. Sorry, I'm not great at reading the options list/codes.
