Did your priority code stay the same? I changed my order already and it went from 10 to 19
The priority code isn't used to prioritize orders for our Broncos, but a 99 does put it on hold. So that would be the only one to worry about, unless you specifically wanted to wait for MY22.

I've sent my dealer 2 or 3 build pdf's and I'm not done changing things. But I should be wby the time they contact me to place my order.

I feel stupid posting this because we all had eternity make our builds. Like many on here I was torn between the BD and BL. My current order is a BD 2.7 SAS MID. I’ve decided to go BL Auto 2.7 Non SAS and High package.
Ultimately I wanted the bigger screen, sway bar disco, LEDs. My plan is to ride on the 33s and upgrade to 35s and new rims at a later date.

My dealer is giving me crap and rightfully so. I’m an idiot, but when I’m spending 50k+ I can’t have any doubts.
Anyone feel the same way once their builds were put in. If it can’t be changed it can’t be changed, oh well I’m still getting a bad ass Bronco
I changed my build 2 hours after I put my order in

Don't feel bad. I changed my order two days after placing it. I felt awful, but Albert just laughed and took care of it. I offered to send him a dozen bagels or doughnuts from the nearest bakery to make up for me being an indecisive PITA but he passed.

Went from a Big Bend Mid to Outer Banks High with Advanced 4x4. Still two-door, still V6, still AMB. The advanced versus shift on the fly was the prime motivator and yes, I had MONTHS to figure this out, but it didn't really start nagging at me until after I placed my order. MUCH happier now and it felt good to get it out of the way.

Congrats on making your best choice for you, however and whenever you got there.
Still trying to determine the real world advantages of the Advanced unit vs Shift/Fly ? - We really are trying to make Big Bend work for us-

Here's a thread on it: 4x4 Part Time Selectable Engagement vs Advanced On Demand Auto Engagement

I have AWD on my little Suzuki SX4 (which I believe is very similar) and it's wonderful in heavy rain and snow, especially when I hit sudden swaths of dry pavement. I use it a lot in the winter, and have had no problems at all in over 100K miles. Worth the price, I think, at least for me.

At the end of the day I think I need to decide if having advanced 4x4 is worth jumping trims which we don't really want to do.

Heck Tom, my build has changed so many times I'm circling around to the beginning. :) I've went from simple, to middle, to all over the place, now back to simple. Imma gonna try too stay put now, but if my dealer doesn't call soon all bets are off.

I'm happy to hear you got yours changed. Now, don't think about it to much from here on out. :p:D

Your dealer should be happy you're even buying a vehicle... we're in the middle of a freaking pandemic about to pay 50K for a vehicle we can't test drive, have never seen and is delayed almost 2 years. Ford can jerk us around but we cannot change our minds?!?

What they need to know is they can give you the service you deserve or you can take your money and walk. Oh and they should expect you to change your order no less than 3 times before you actually receive the vehicle... IF you even want to by the time Ford get's its act together!!!

As for you shift! Makes complete sense to me. Get the items that you cannot or are too difficult to upgrade later. Interior packages are not something you want to have to upgrade later. Same with electronic sway bar disconnect. Tires and wheels are simple and lifts are affordable. Easy day, feel good about your decision and congrats on putting in your order. (y)

Did you sign a purchase agreement? My dealer said nothing about a window of time to change my order...

I feel so much better with the change. I happy I went with my gut on this. Now the waiting game begins as to when I’ll get it. I think the only thing holding up my order is the 2.7. So we’ll see...

You should’ve went with Sasquatch and lux. Just pulling your chain, seriously get what you want. It’s a big purchase.
Yeah, I wanted those USB dash outlets...wireless charging pad too. But 5k? I do want the Sasquatch but I figure I’ll add the lift later and get the wheels I want. Make my Bronco more personalized.

Not stupid at all....I ordered a Base Sasquatch 2.3 4 DR. I figured if I really wanted heated front seats I could just go aftermarket. But now, I'm thinking about going Big Bend to get the factory heated seats and going with the 32s since it'll rarely go off-road. And also to get the color that I really want.

Unless something significantly changes in my situation(changing jobs or winning the lottery) I'm staying with my Black Diamond order. I really wanted a Badlands but I didn't feel the 6K difference was worth it for Signature Lights and for what I will be doing with my Bronco. I really considered ordering the Base as well. I might add Advanced 4x4 and a tow package before it's scheduled for production. I changed my mind on the 4x4 option about an hour before my dealer called me to order.
