U think I would be able to get a hard top from ford just as itself. I really am not a fan of the soft top.
My understanding from what I've been reading is that all soft top 4 door models built going forward will have the hard top prep kit, so you should be able to eventually get one from Ford. However, no-one knows at this point when they will be available or what the cost will be. Just switched my order to a soft top for the same reason, and I've resigned myself to living with the soft top until the hard tops are available. I'm prepared for a year or more wait on the hard top, but who knows maybe Ford will surprise us and have them sooner. Until then, just going to enjoy the soft top and who knows, maybe I'll be happy enough with the soft top. I've been trying real hard to manage my expectations so that I don't get too disappointed. Best of luck!
