Anyone else angry about the Bronco Raptor announcement this morning? Normally I'd be excited for a Ford Performance Version but now my First Edition is obsolete before it's even delivered. Sure we knew a Ford Performance version is in the works but I was hoping for a MY23 release and could...
Ford is extremely tone-deaf to current situation with the Bronco. They can't even get people's now "regular" Broncos out in a timely fashion and they're now already making them obsolete with the Ford Performance variant. Don't get me wrong I'm all for a new Raptor version but they could have...

Ford could sit on these Broncos for a year and probably still come out ahead financially instead of shipping thousands of tops out, having the dealer install them, and then disposing of them. Even though we might not wait it out they know someone will buy them once they get shipped.
I wanted...
Looking at this who knows when my 7/1 build FE with a MIC top is ever going to get a new one. They have a lot more Broncos to work through than I thought
