We know that IF Ford reopens the order banks this year, it'll probably be in Q1 2023 (likely February).
But we don't know if Ford is going to reopen order banks or not, they haven't said either way. It depends on how many reservations were canceled, and if they weren't canceled... what they ordered. Ford is having the most trouble building Broncos with hard tops, as well as Outer Banks, Badlands, and Wildtrak Broncos with all the bells and whistles. And it just so happens that is what most people are ordering.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ford kept retail order banks closed for 2023MY and just let dealers submit stock orders for lower-trim Broncos. If that turns out to be true... then yes... August/September 2023 is when the order banks will likely open for 2024MY.
But if my hunch is wrong and they do open the order banks this year, they won't be open for long. Maverick order banks were only open for about a week and a half before they sold out.
