Last month, Ford Authority reported that 2022 Ford Bronco production was scheduled to begin at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant on December 15th, 2021. However, sources familiar with the matter have told Ford Authority that 2022 Ford Bronco production has now been pushed back five days to December 20th, 2021. As always, these dates are subject to change, particularly in light of a number of recent supply chain issues, including the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage.
In recent weeks, 2021 Ford Bronco production has been ramping up following a number of supply chain-related woes, including defective hardtops that the automaker has been working on replacing in lieu of scheduling additional orders for production. As Ford Authority reported yesterday, 2021 Bronco in-transit inventory has improved significantly as a result, as have sales of the reborn off-road SUV.
Meanwhile, the Bronco will receive a number of changes for the 2022 model year, including the addition of the Ford Bronco Raptor, Bronco Everglades, and Bronco Heritage, as well as two new exterior colors, a “Capable” front bumper, a roof rack option for four-door Sasquatch models, and dealer-installed tube doors, which will be available by the end of the year.
For 2022, customers can also pair the Sasquatch Package with Ford’s seven-speed manual transmission, as Ford Authority recently reported. Meanwhile, the Heavy-Duty Modular bumper is now available on every trim level, and the Wildtrak four-door has dropped its standard MIC hardtop for a soft top. Pricing for all Bronco models and some options are also set to increase in 2022, as Ford Authority recently reported. Those that want to take delivery of a 2022 Bronco sooner can do so by ditching options such as the Towing Capability package, paint protection film, and the molded-in color hardtop.

The perfect vehicle to embody "horsepower."
The original owner's wife wasn't a fan, so it sat for decades.
Closing the week at $11.74 per share.
Still offers the same equipment, though.
At least both drivers seemed aware of the situation and could avoid it.

Not surprised a bit longer won't hurt.
When are you going to start focusing on the constant delays Ford is experiencing in its woefully long going "roll out" of the new big Bronco, and why the company is incapable of producing body paint matching roof and fenders like Jeep can. Or do you just do happy talk for the company?
I had Jeeps and the reason I’m buying a Bronco is i had Jeeps I learned from my Jeep ownership never to get another one i can weight 😁
More delays for the Bronco is coming oh yes more set backs are in order
I think it’s very possible that by the time my order gets filled I will be so filled with hate for Ford over being treated like garbage I’m going to light mine on fire.
I think you would be better off in a Jeep I will hang on for my Bronco
Complain… complain… complain… go buy a Jeep
It’s like a little boy‘s nursery that have stumbled across!! You guys need to find a woman!!
Hey, thank you for timely update. Even bad news is helpful for most reservation holders. It helps me plan, anyway. Lots of uncertainty in these Covid times.
If Ford wants to do something right it will fill all the orders placed by March 19, 2021 before it puts Broncos on dealer lots to be sold $30 K over sticker like the one sitting at Montrose Ford in Fairlawn, Ohio.
You need to take that up with the dealer's for ripping people off. Like what went on with the last Gen Thunderbird
Something to look forward to. Can't wait to get the call that mine is production.
Got word mine is built got a delivery date of 1/17/22 but no window sticker yet anyone have a answer for that ?
Notified by Ford dealer on 21 January that delivery of our 2022 Bronco would be 7 February. On the 2nd, my son e-mailed the dealer to firm up the delivery date, and was told that delivery now pushed back to between 10 and 15 May. Only Broncos that we're seeing available on lots have been upcharged by $10-15K. Looks like Ford is being selective on which Broncos get the chip.
