Another proud Ford launch moment. No wait for Jeep’s.
Originally, Ford was supposed to launch the two- and four-door Bronco in spring 2021. Before the end of 2020, the automaker delayed the vehicle because of coronavirus-related supply issues. At the time, the launch of the highly-anticipated SUV was pushed back to summer 2021. Now, according to a report from Autoblog, the Bronco is facing yet another delay because of the optional painted modular hardtop roof. Buyers that want this roof will have to wait for a 2022 model.
The latest delay for the Bronco is because of COVID-related production delays that supplier Webasto is facing. Buyers that aren’t interested in waiting for a 2022 Bronco with the painted modular hardtop roof have a few options. They can switch to the Carbonized Gray molded-in-color hardtop roof or the soft-top roof. Buyers that decide to stick with the modular hardtop roof will take delivery of a 2022 model at the same price as a 2021 model. For Bronco buyers that are interested in going with a different roof, they’ll have until April 8 to make the necessary changes
