Ford has confirmed to CarBuzz that order banks for the 2023 Bronco will begin later this month. “Bronco retail ordering at Ford dealers will reopen again on March 27,” a Ford spokesman told us. It will be open for just 24 hours.
Ford Authority first reported that buyers could once again place orders on that date, but additional clarification was necessary, and now we have it. Interested buyers should be aware that it’s possible Ford may not provide price protection or ’24 model-year transition offers if any of the ’23 units are not built prior to the model-year changeover, which typically happens over the summer or early fall.
Production has clearly gotten back on track, and it appears Ford will accept orders from new customers rather than fulfilling an order backlog. The Bronco has been immensely popular even before the first examples rolled off the assembly line in Wayne, Michigan. Unfortunately, this was getting underway just when the coronavirus pandemic struck the world.
