Ford Bronco Deliveries Have Been Postponed Again. Some Buyers Will Wait Until 2022

Ford has again postponed the delivery date for the revived Bronco. This time, the delay applies to SUVs in a specific configuration - with an optional modular roof in black. Buyers of such cars will have to wait until 2022 model (and certainly calendar) year, reports Automotive News.

• Ford has repeatedly shifted the start of production of the Bronco - due to the pandemic and again due to problems with the roof. Then it was due to the difficulties of the supplier of components - the German company Webasto.

• This time, the delay was also provoked by the supplier, but buyers have a choice: to reconsider the ordered configuration in favor of a regular roof made of unpainted plastic or soft top (then the car can be delivered in the summer) or wait and receive bonuses. You need to decide before April 8.
• Those who prefer to wait will get an optional $ 495 soundproofed ceiling for free. It is included in the equipment when ordering a fabric or leather interior, so for those who have already chosen an optional interior, the same $ 495 will be deducted from the price of the car.

• In addition, for those who pre-order the Bronco from the deferred batch and receive it as a 2022 model, Ford will keep the original price of the car, even if a similar one rises in price. Some customers will also be offered $ 1,000 worth of bonus points in the FordPass app that can be spent on service or branded accessories.
• Despite booming demand, postponements and long wait times, Ford estimates that 66% of Bronco pre-orders have become full-fledged. Today their number is about 125 thousand.
