Fulfilling orders will take awhile, but Ford is building 10K a month. Slightly used Broncos at near original sticker will likely be available soon.

But I don't really want a vehicle until spring.
check out bronco6g.com you'll find a lot of info, including weekly build numbers etc..

R1S, Bronco Wildtrak, Tesla Model S
I have both an R1T and a Bronco Wildtrak it is a very hard choice. I have had many Tesla's so I am keen to the EV world. The bronco was actually my first ICE vehicle in the last 5 years. Now that I have it and the Rivian... one must go but they are both very capable which makes it a hard decision.

-The Bronco is more comfortable for me, the R1T has more tech
-The Bronco uses expensive gas, I have solar for a R1T
-Both are capable off-road but if something breaks on the Bronco I can usually fix it myself(Tie rods lol)
-Both great on road, but damn the R1T is fast
-Bronco has been reliable for the past 7k miles, R1T jury is still out as I'm only at 300 miles
-Insurance on the Bronco is dirt cheap, expensive on the Rivian

The list goes on lol...

With that said if the R1T has to go I will try to sell to this community at current new order MSRP and not gouge folks.

I highly doubt that.
There are still day 1 reservation holders who don't have a build date yet and the Bronco will be in its 3rd model year.
There are still chip (and other) constraints that are limiting Ford's ability to produce significant volume of higher optioned Broncos
Which dealership you order from (but they have put new orders on hold for an undetermined amount of time) plays a huge factor in when you will get scheduled for a build.

I've been a reservation/order holder since April of 2021 and don't expect my Bronco until Fall of 2023 at the earliest. I actually think my R1S reservation will come up before the Bronco. My plan is to keep whichever is delivered first and likely cancel the other (unless I don't love the first one as much as I expect).

my biggest problem with Ford is poor quality materials. they use mild steel and cheaper suspension design and components. the mild steel is much more forgiving and hides the poor design issues with a smoother ride, but in 5 years it will be badly rusted, especially if using in any wet environments. The dealers drain your wallet for frequent required services. and the Rivian is much more capable off road in stock form plus double the power.
