I can't say that this email is giving me a lot of confidence as a FE holder with no VIN.

At the same time, their FAQ says:
If I placed an order for a 2021 model year Bronco, will I get my Bronco this year?
Due to the high number of Bronco 2 and 4-door reservations and a short first MY, not all customers who placed a Bronco order will get a 2021 MY. The only exception is the limited-run First Edition series which is exclusive to the 2021 MY. All First Edition orders with an eligible reservation will be built as the 2021 MY.

They are very careful with their wording, but there is a big difference between "will" and "expect."

I'm with ya on that one. I was so pissed off yesterday I had to call that number and let them have it. So now ours won't even get a build date until September/October which is BS as I had a First day reservation within the first 2 hours. They have completely taken away my enthusiasm for the Bronco. Will I wait, yup. Will I be steaming mad about this year long cluster F the whole time I'm waiting, yup. I've bought Ford's for the last 20 years and this will be my last one due to their incompetence.

Reservation 7/13 at 2100, ordered morning of 1/21. Priority 1 now dealer says. Still now word on 4Dr. LB FE. How? How?? Called Ford every week.

Anyone know the process if one just wanted to say screw the FE, 99’d their order and waited for the warthog/braptor without losing their time stamp? Or would the warthog be it’s own independent order bank?

I have a FE ordee but concerted to priority 99. It crossed my mind to be "one of those guys" and flip it but dang I've been waiting to see this thing since the concept in 04. I'm enticed by the future green on the gas can. While I love the idea of the FE, I can't forsee myself enjoying it the way a Bronco is meant to be enjoyed. Who knows I may change it back to an order as I have upto 8/27.

The warthog/raptor might be extremely special like the gt500. To 99 it your dealer will probably have to call the regional rep.

Is that what your dealer said? You can go back. I know earlier people who dropped the FE tried to go back and they couldn’t it was locked it.

Early on reservation it showed FE to have exclusive interior and to be preshipped prior to other orders. The day was April, 2021 while the rest of the Bronco line was to ship in June. Again, this was what was written when we submitted reservation.

I swear I read it too but I can not find it anywhere...do you still have something from your reservation submission? I tried to pull up a old version of the launch but I can find anything searching...anyone else?

It also still states on the site "unique interior" but it also still states 3,500 only!

With all the people canceling/99ing it probably will be 3500 or less. Little birdie said it’s around 4500 orders now.

@Monster1926 Yea, I know a lot were cancelled or changed...I work with 2 other guys both had FE reservations and one cancelled all together before converting to order because color choices and the other converted to WT because of color choices.

I was very very close to going BL my fiancé talked me into keeping it so she can have it. Now she doesn’t want.

I can’t find it anywhere either. I spoke to several other FE people who remember as well as the dealership guy who remembers and ordered an FE.

So let me get this straight...

• You're mad.
• You're still going to wait for your Bronco.
• But to make yourself feel better, you called a customer service person, who had nothing to do with anything, and yelled at them for something they can't control or help

...what.
