I "re-ordered" the new slide out tailgate on 1/10/22. Does anyone know if this has been considered as a restraint? I want to say i saw where they said it would be a mid-22 availability. I already have three "sins", MIC (debatable if still a constraint from what i've read), Advanced 4x4, and towing.

My original order was 7/12/21, reorder for MY22 on 10/26/21. (Black Diamond, MIC, Advanced 4x4, towing)

I know there are many more ahead of me but I'm just wondering if this will cause me to wait longer.

I'm also having doubts on the status of my order. Dealer has sent me signed order preview and is a Priority Code 19 but i also get the following when i put in the reservation link https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=:
Ford Bronco New Slide-out Tailgate as a constraint? 1643122623579

but when i close that window:
Ford Bronco New Slide-out Tailgate as a constraint? 1643122874410


Maybe i'm being paranoid, but does it look like everythings a go for eventual scheduling?

Thoughts?

I have a similar build and I believe the biggest constraint right now is towing. I’ve read that it may be due to the 7 pin harness needing a chip or Esteban recently said on a Bronco Nation Q&A that installing towing is slowing down the lines and creating bottlenecks. If it is slowing down production, then it makes more sense to run the builds without towing so MAP can get more Broncos out the door.

I am pretty sure that not one slide out tailgate has been delivered yet....

From my understanding and communication with a dealership (which really doesnt mean much) it will be released late 2022 which ultimately means youll get a MY23.

I have also heard mixed reviews of whether or not it has to be factory installed or if you can order post delivery.......
