It'll be a while before these hit the streets -- or the dirt.

The 2021 Ford Bronco will not be in the hands of eager owners come spring 2021. On Friday, a Ford spokesperson told Roadshow the automaker will now delay both the four- and two-door models to the summer, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to create supplier issues for the off-road SUV.

"We're committed to building Broncos with the quality customers deserve," the spokesperson told Roadshow. We never received a solid launch date for the hotly anticipated SUV, but Ford has stuck by its spring 2021 timeframe for months, even amid the pandemic. Now, the window moves back by a season. Summer officially starts June 20 next year and ends Sept. 22, so worst-case scenario, we're looking at about a six-month delay from the original timeline.

If you plan on parking a Bronco equipped with a manual transmission and the Sasquatch package in the garage, you'll be left waiting even longer. Ford's spokesperson told Roadshow the same supplier constraints will now make all Broncos equipped with the Sasquatch gear and three pedals a 2022 model. Previously, Ford said we'd see the combination launch in late 2021.

In the meantime, Ford plans to open order books for the Bronco next month. That's when reservation holders will be able to actually convert their reservations into proper vehicle orders. Ford will give these individuals until March 2021 to finalize their order and dealer selections.

But hey, at least we know we have something good to look forward to in 2021 still.
