All Model Year 21 (MY21) will be build in calendar year 2021. However, not all orders placed in calendar year 2021 will receive a MY21. That's probably the subtle distinction in wording from Ford rep. Peter

good catch. Guess we'll see if the manufacturer or the tester clarifies. Peter

The description of the Elite system mentions that it will raise the hood opening height by 8 inches. That's probably the difference? Peter

I don't think height will be an issue. Not because people are all tall enough, but because the way a hood prop is designed, you have to lift the hood slightly before undoing the prop. So a shorter person wouldn't be able to use the hood prop anyway. Peter

is this going to be street legal? it looks more like an electric RZR than a Bronco/Wrangler competitor edit: nevermind, you did say offroad vehicle.

that image is from ford.com. Here's some side by side at the end of the first post https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/%F0%9F%93%B7-factory-broncos-modular-black-top-headlight-assembly-tail-light-assembly-puddle-lights.12190/

f it... cancelling. I still do need/want an offroader, and there really isn't any better available options out there (price and capability taken into consideration). However, the Bronco fiasco is just causing me too much grief. And for reference, my build was a base 4 door sasquatch with...

need a new option for looking at other cars.....

That's bravely optimistic, if TFL's Defender is any indication. Peter

yah, I saw the official release, thank you. My "wishful thinking" was posted a few days ago, before the official release. and this is only available on the Rubicon and the 392, so not nearly as flexible as what the Sasquatch package does for the Bronco trims. Peter

Now the OP needs a nice F-150 Lightning for the middle "blank" spot

looks like it also lists spring rate difference?? slightly lower front, and slightly higher rear, with the tow package. very interesting........ EDIT: i'm an idiot.. it says spring weight, not rate, but the springs themselves can't be that heavy.. so i'm not sure what that means...

wishful thinking: $5k package, and you get Rubicon axles. edit: 5.13 1st gear ratio on the manual, 4:1 Rock-Trac low range ratio, combined with the 4.56 axle ratio, gives you a 93.5:1 first gear crawl, using existing gear box and parts bin transfer case. Definitely evens the playing field a bit...

The painted top that you are referring to is indeed a MY22 option(whether immediately available for MY22 or late MY22 is unclear yet), so ordering that will give you 0 chance of getting the vehicle in 2021. The MIC hardtop (available for MY21) seems to be the biggest constraint right now. If not...

On the Bronco, I wonder how strong the trail sights are, for fore-aft force. If the top of the brush guard/cattle guard/bull bar can be secured against the trail sight location, it should make it a whole lot stronger. Peter

Yah, and if they do it like the Sasquatch package, where they include the 35" tires and both lockers, available on all trims, AND can deliver faster than the Broncos... then Ford is likely going to lose some (a lot of?) sales over this. Peter

I suspect that driving impressions are still under embargo. Next Monday has been mentioned (by one of our forum regulars who hinted at being at a Ford event as well) as a date where more will come. Let's give it a bit more time. Peter

I strongly believe that if your order is not built in MY21, and your chosen color is no longer available, you'll be out of luck and must chose a different color. I recall seeing @Gloff (a dealer) mention that all MY22 orders needs to be re-entered. If that remains to be the process(as dictated...
