This was confirmed to Cars Direct which was told that “you configure a Bronco on Ford.com and then contact a dealer to place an order.” In other words, no more online reservations for now. Ford is so serious about its Bronco backlog that it has even stopped customers from building 2021 models on its website. They are instead being directed to the 2022 model which has a price increase of $800. According to the Ford website, all unscheduled 2021 orders will now have to be converted to a 2022 model directly through a dealer.
If things remain on schedule, 2022 models will go into production by the end of the year. This has compounded the issues facing the two and four-door Broncos, which has been affected by the global logistical slowdown and chip shortage.
