All I read was, "hey I'm getting a green bronco!".



Fake edit: Maybe

22lbs package is a 10kg worth of scrap V1 MIC Top showing how bad it is. It’s a collectible edition.

Comes with a plaid print embossing

I wish Toyota would come out with a newly redesigned 4-runner. I would probably pass on the Bronco.

Hi all. We hear you and are working hard on getting you out in the wild in your Bronco as quickly as possible. Depending on your build, we are actively starting to communicate where we are and what we’re doing to make it right. In the meantime, please check out our latest FAQs here: https://ford.to/broncosupport

“actively starting to communicate.”

Sums this up perfectly! A year too late.

Assuming you had to put additional money down at the time of order (in addition to the $100.00 res fee), has anyone who canceled their order encountered any resistance to getting their deposit back from the dealer?

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I didn't see it. I have a 7/13 blend date and my tracker says "in production" as of 7/14 and has been that way ever since (i.e., it hasn't clicked over to built.) Does this mean I am in the group that can expect an update in September (build date has passed) or the group that is in October update (vehicle is scheduled for production)?

Bring back an updated FJ, (that you can actually see out of)!

No, my build START date keeps getting pushed. They haven't even started on it. I'm not in the bad batch group. Every time my build date moves it's >2 weeks before my build date was supposed to start. I'm in this group:

I may be missing something… but my comment still stands. You’re getting a bronco. That’s awesome. You’re scheduled. You’re in a very small minority here. They rest of us basically just got news that we’re going to have to wait even longer for that.

Yours is scheduled *and* you’re going to get the updated hardtop with it.

Also, you say build “Start” date… do you mean blend date? What’s your Blend date? That’s when the parts start going together. The “build” date is when the last part is on it and it’s been cleared to be shipped. (unless I’m confusing some stuff here, which is not out of the question)

Will be going through this today.

Not interested in paying full pop for a vehicle that sat outside through 3 seasons in Michigan.

They (Ford) needs to let customers opt out of a 2021 build that has been sitting since July...

Thank you. Now, since it is cosmetic, send her out. I'm likely going to scratch it day 1 so I am not too concerned if functionality isn't compromised. Does it turn lime green after a few rains? Don't care. Does it honeycomb? Not worried. The edges fray some? I live in the Desert, what is humidity again? We have a few weeks of Monsoon and that's about it. I can figure out how to deal with winter, which is usually light.

So prioritizing the delivered units. Those are most important. We are worried that those are leaking. What we are REALLY worried about is a bunch of pictures on social media of leaky roofs. That would really make for a bad Thanksgiving for the Ford family. So embarrasing.

What we are not worried about are leaking MIC roof problems on built broncos sitting on some gravel lot in Wayne, MI. Nobody can see those, or document those, so let them leak. Who cares.

Get ready for a brand new, moldy smelling bronco that has been leaking, sitting in the sun and rain for 4+ months and is housing a mouse condo.

you done messed up now...

Fuck all... Ford already HAD an new design in mind as MY22 Squatched 4 doors with V6's would be available with factory installed roof rails... Remember?
We better get more than 110Lbs dynamic rating too!

I really think the "new design" roof is NOT a thing and was NEVER a thing, this forum is the only place I've ever heard about this, the unavailability is by design, Ford's choice, I've never heard anything from an official source?
I also find the dynamic weight rating a bit puzzling considering Ford will provide you a 130lbs tent to put on top of it with warrantee!
