Originally the Bronco was offered with a couple different top options. The one you are thinking about is the "MOD" top (modular) that came in Gloss Black, or could be optioned as body color. MOD tops were delayed until at least 2022 and the MIC (Molded In Color) became the only Hard Top Option. The MIC, is a textured plastic very similar in color and feel as to what the Fender Flairs and such are made out of. And of course, now the MIC tops are the ones in question.
IF you truly want a Black Top (aka MOD top) then you need to have your order Priority changed to 99 and wait until the 2022 Specs\Options are released before you can determine if MOD tops are even going to make it for 2022. If somehow you end up with a 2021 Hard Top, it will not be the black MOD, but the dark gray-ish MIC.
All mod tops are slated for MY23. Recently pushed them back.
2022 Bronco Badlands, 4D, Hot Pepper Red, 2.7, Squatch, Lux, and MIC.
