So does this mean I need to take delivery of my Bronco FE if I plan on getting one. I was going to wait but essentially three years to get one seems horrible.

Yep.

Enjoy that interior.
Doug, I thought you could cancel your order at anytime or are the FE's different? I know even if mines built and I get to the dealer and don't like it I can walk away and get my deposit back.

That's exactly what I did and my only regret was waiting so long to do it! The only problem is now living in a FREE state I spent the first 3 years draining my bank account buying every gun and suppressor I wasn't allowed to have back in MA.
yep im from massachusetts but when i joined the army, immediately swapped my home of residence to NH, all the freedom youd ever want and no state tax.

I'm sure you can.

I was just meaning if he wants one soon, he should keep it.

You can cancel at any time. The problem would be getting one anytime soon.

Hi Folks,

We left Detroit on Sunday the 18th of July. Driving to Metro Airport we passed Oakwood Blvd on the Southfield Freeway on the way to the airport....Two Broncos merged off Oakwood behind me on the Southfield freeway. Then the Broncos passed me...both were M plate (manufacture) vehicles. On a Sunday??? Tells me there is a very serious problem with Bronco that requires engineers to be working on Sunday....What...IDK...very strange to see. They merged with me onto I94 westbound... I followed until we got of at Merriman to rental car return. Some Ting Wong....

Hi Phil,

There's been several who have had some software glitches with theirs. One had theirs stuck in 4wd and couldn't get it back into 2wd. He went through all the GOAT modes and it was stuck. He had to shut off his Bronco and wait a few minutes then restart it which seemed to work. Another had several warning lights going off so there's some software glitches in these right now.

The biggest issue is the hard tops. They still cant get these right and now they're developing a honeycomb pattern after sitting outside. I cant imagine what they would look like in our heat! :shock: Take a look at the rough jagged edges left on the one below. What a complete disaster! I'm glad I'm not getting one until '22 and even then I'm still leery as more and more issues are coming out now that customers are starting to take delivery.

Even if they get the Bronco Hard Tops figured out I think they will continually have problems with them. You will see many leaking and sealing issues.

It's the same darn company (Webasto) that's been making the Jeeps tops for years. You'd think they'd have this figured out by now. :explode: There are many who are now switching to the soft top but personally I think they look hideous!
