Ford delivered 97,315 Bronco SUVs to customers last year, but the number could have been higher if not for production constraints.
Beyond semiconductors, various part supplies remain tight and unable to keep up with demand.
These include the Bronco's molded-in-color hardtop, Sasquatch off-road upgrade package and the Lux package option.
The backlog is so bad that Ford is now offering 2023 Bronco reservation holders who have ticked the boxes for these features $2,500 to switch to another Bronco trim or vehicle.
SECRET FORD MUSTANG IS GETTING READY TO ROCK
According to Cars Direct, customers can try to reconfigure their build slot for another Bronco configuration or apply the savings to a new order on a Bronco Sport, Escape, Edge, Explorer, Expedition, Ranger or F-150 with sales dates through April 3, 2023.
