Ford reportedly doubled production for a planned First Edition Bronco package, to 7,000 from 3,500.
Reservations are already maxed out.
The Bronco was wildly anticipated, but even Ford has been surprised by the surge of interest in the revived SUV, a nameplate that was launched in 1965 but discontinued in 1996.

Ford's long-awaited new Bronco is a hit. Hours after its debut last week, a deluge of customers trying to put down $100 reservation briefly crashed Ford's website.

The new family of four-by-four SUVs is being offered in a trio of trims, with a wide range of available packages. One of those — the "First Edition" — was initially planned for 3,500 units, but according to Road & Track, Ford doubled that number.

Ford said that all First Edition reservations have been taken, but you can always configure another trim level. Business Insider's Kristen Lee has provided a helpful guide.

At any rate, here's a closer look at the Bronco First Edition, now one of the most exclusive new Fords:

The Bronco is back! And without a doubt, it's better than ever.
