Full sized Broncos are all made in the USA.

Bronco sport and mavericks are hecho en Mexico.

I was an early reservation holder, didn't convert to an order until October 22. Blend date was 12/13, but according to dealer and Ford chat it's on a chip hold currently.

4 door Outer Banks Hard top
Carbonized Gray Metalic

Wow, if true! What an absolute cluster!

I will sell my softtop badlands bronco for 90k only 14k miles

So, 2-door orders are screwed? Supposedly more info will be out tomorrow.

I'm upset on all of y'all's behalves. ESPECIALLY the 1st-day reservation folk who deliberately code-19'd themselves to 2023 to get the MOD (not MIC) top after that was stricken from 2021/2022 options.

I imagine they're going to have a soft top (Bestop maybe) stockpiled to keep the 2-door orders going.

If this had affected my order, and I couldn't find what I wanted on the secondhand market, it would be a headache but I think the following is doable:
- to replicate Sasquatch, switch trims to non-sasq Badlands since they use the same suspension, and buy someone else's low-mileage wheels/tire takeoffs on FB Marketplace (+$2,000-2,500, locally). Sell BL wheels/tires to partially offset (-$1,100-1,500).
- pre-order the ADV Fiberglass non-OEM hardtop, probably in the 1-piece variant since I don't expect I'm going to be taking the top on and off repeatedly.

So how does the money shake out?

If I originally wanted a 4D Sasquatch Wildtrak, 2.7L, MIC top, and midrange options + a few small add-ons, I'd be looking at MSRP $57,890.

Compare to downgrading to non-sasq soft top Badlands, same options, that's $55,245.
Minus $2,500 for the shabby private offer = $52,745.
Plus $5,875 for ADV aftermarket hard top = $58,620.
Wheel/tire swap (+$2,500), (-$1,200) = $59,920.

So you've got a functionally-sasquatched Badlands with a hard top, manufacturable in 2023, for not much more than what the Wildtrak was going to go for. It's a move of denial and desperation, sure, and will take tons more effort on your part! But it's possible.

that is how you problem solve

I agree, but there's no reason to pay over MSRP at this point. There's lots of volume at the moment

What other vehicle does Ford make that would be a replacement for the Bronco? NOTHING. And $2500 is a crap offer for those who have been waiting 2 and 3 years.

Comes with a V8

I just got scheduled for the week of Feb 20!

Apparently that week is all manual transmission models.

Son of a ! Congratulations! After that notice posted above, I have abandoned hope of getting what I ordered. But, isn't your build a 2-door? Or was it the manual holding you up?

I have a four door. Hardtop holding me up.

Just be patient. It's not like you're walking.

How much legroom is in the backseat? Are these good for a family of 4?

The leg room is equivalent to a sedan. No rear vents and no rear seat heaters. My kids complain about all 3 but what ever, it's my car.

I have a 4-door with MIC and Lux so i'm screwed. I'm ok dropping the Lux as the only diff between lux and high is the adapative cruise control and wireless charger, but I don't care too much about those.

MIC hardtop is a necessity for me. Joe Myers Ford has my exact build but to soft top and high package so I went and test drove it this weekend... and I can't do the soft top. It was louder then I hoped, sounded like the rear windows were cracked.

I'm gonna drop the Lux, stick with the hard top, and see if dropping Lux is enough to get mine built this year.

My salesman said you have to drop all constraints in order to get the $2,500, and its not per item dropped. Was hoping it'd be enough to buy a hardtop aftermarket but they are like $7k.

Like MJ says "F dem kids"

Have you driven a hard top? They're not any better.

Nope, but it cant be worse!

I plan on adding Kilmat or dynamat pretty much anywhere I can help reduce road noise.

I can say with 100% certainty that the wireless charger is a useless piece of *****

Ordered in Oct 2021 and delivered in Oct 2022. I'll be selling it as soon as I take delivery of another vehicle I have on order.

Why would they open the order banks when they can't build what they have on the books? Or, is this for 2024 models? Ford is weird.

TYPO 2023s not 2024s

Because they will roll all the unbuilt 23 orders to the next model year while removing price protection. Then they will repeat for the unbuilt MY24 orders.

When will they stop building 23's and move to the 24's?
