Just curious, not sure if this has been asked? Typically new model years come out in August. Was wondering what my VIN year will be if I don't receive my Bronco until August or September? Will it be a 2021 or 2022 ? If its 2021 wont it be a year old new Bronco?
Thanks, :unsure:

Yeah, don't know but still stinks if you have a vehicle 4 months and it's depreciated by a year. May seem like a small thing as most people including myself planning on having it for a long time. However........

I've heard that August thing thrown about repeatedly, but I don't think it's true anymore. I bought a vehicle manufactured in October 2017 vehicle with a 2017 VIN.

This site says it happens in October.

I don’t think you will have to worry about depreciation on a MY21 Bronco these will be more rare than other year Broncos. It will be kinda like having a 64 1/2 Mustang it is possible the MY21 Broncos appreciate the first two years or so, depending on demand and supply.

My build is $48k, more of less. I'm hoping to sell it for $480k in 20 years so that I can retire with a little less than $500k.

LOL I don't know how this happened but I Literally Got a Reservation Friday Ordered My Badlands yesterday and was emailed that my estimated build date is June. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to see mine till next year but I will continue to hold out hope.

Why all the worrying about nothing? All cars and Trucks become 1 year model older sooner or later. Ford is giving you till Dec. Would you be happier if they cut the year in Aug- along with all the other cars? Just buy your BRONCO and be happy!
