The Bronco is so popular Ford will give you $2,500 to buy another vehicle
Tight part supplies are crimping production
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.

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.
