“We’re anticipating that it will be through 2022 before we’re able to satisfy the demand,” said Mark Grueber. “Part of that is the ramp-up of the plant that’s still happening, so it will be into next year. Ford had 190,000 reservations, and 125K converted to orders, so about two-thirds.”
A fair number of those who placed their orders later in the year are already being bumped into the 2022 model year category. Fortunately, prices will be unchanged. The Blue Oval also recently confirmed it is replacing the hardtop on every single unit, sold or unsold. Owners discovered the top’s poor build quality not long after taking delivery. Ford ultimately concluded it was best to replace rather than repair.
