I have to admit, with the lack of information on the top delay, I have some concerns about build quality and other issues from the first year hard tops. It may have nothing to do with design and be a material supply / not enough workers at the plant issue, but who knows aside from Ford and...

1) thank you for sharing! 2) Ford has had the reservations for almost a year, so they know what people wanted. That being said: 3) this is infuriating, ridiculous, and unacceptable. 4) no, they can't blame covid for this.

That looks great! I've been looking around for one with the specs I want. One is perfect aside from the interior color, and others are close. I could order and right now Defenders are not being stopped by semiconductor supplies (other LR vehicles are), but I worry about the same long delay I'm...

Webasto? More like WebastNO, amiright?

Eh. I wouldn't be shocked if at some point next year, Ford switches to 50/50 reservations / dealer stock. That'll make people who reserved and are still waiting extra happy.

I'm going to offer to start producing tops. The prices will have to go up a little bit because of lumber prices, but I already have all the tooling I need to get started making wooden tops. So retro! I'll also offer several stain choices so you can still get that black top if you want. Modular...

If the soft top thing turns out to be true (not calling your dealer a liar, just waiting on more confirmation), that tells me the only way I'll see a new car before October is to not buy a Ford. I need to call my dealer next week and then maybe either move to a 99 while I shop around, or just...

Remember when the 2021 build cutoff was mid August reservations!? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Glad all of this has been clearly communicated, vs being discussed on a fan forum...

Who knows - this may not be semiconductor related. Mod tops, perhaps? I mean, it's not like Ford is talking so we can let the conjecture run wild!

It benefits Ford to not get too specific and keep stringing people along.

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a 110. There are a few out there that would work for me, or I could order one - Defender production is not being affected by chips and delivery would be earlier than my Badlands build.

I've already spoken to a dealer of another vehicle (not a Jeep) and it is legit NOT being blocked by chips. There would be a wait if I don't want something on the lot, but I'd have a real date vs a mystery date, and it would be sooner than a day 2 Bronco res. I'm not angry or ranting here. It...

They're making it hard for me not to bail. I've already been waffling on it and have something picked out. I'd like to take advantage of the current high used vehicle resale values and I'd also like something new before '22 so this is tough. Damn it, Ford.

You would think someone at Ford would have had the bright idea to offer the soft top with the rear washer fluid / defroster connections run, because you could probably convince many people to start out with a soft top NOW if they knew that would be easily available for a later hard top purchase.

This is just pushing me to want to unload my current vehicle now. We can probably survive with just one for a while. I checked Truecar (price was so-so), and then KBB which was drastically better so I'm not sure what to believe yet, and then it's like the stock market - trying to wait for the top.

Ford already dropped the ball. Now they're running after it and keep kicking it further away when they try to pick it up.

I'm going after May. I think they'll let it slip until June 3rd, around noon eastern.
