I will add to some comments about 1st year production runs. True lots of issues will come up with those first compared to as the model evolves but don’t forget inline changes as well. There are at times parts or systems being changed due to material availability that wasn’t tested as long as original oem and in consequence causes more issues as well or change from outsourcing vendors for what ever reason. Original e85 didn’t have same issue with the abs with the m54 that changed when the n52 came about on the facelift for example and there’s many many more such as that. So keep in mind you necessarily never know when a reliable part got changed due to supply or material change until it happens. No matter what make you’re talking about.
I cancelled our order for a 2022 because after almost 6 months the order was still unscheduled clean and it was clear we may not get the vehicle in 2022. Also I'm not confident that the MIC top issues have been ironed out and boy there's a lot of problems with these vehicles from the roof to the 2.7L engine grenading, electrical issues, etc. I like the idea of the Bronco but the timing was just brutal for the release of this vehicle as the supply chain issues combined with the MIC top issues have conspired against this vehicle. Hopefully in a few years if things get back to normal these will be ironed out and plentiful on dealer lots as I know a lot of 2021 reservation holders still haven't got their Broncos which must be really frustrating.
