Preproduction Frankenstein mish-mash Badlands with Molded In Color (MIC) hard top and gloss grille.

okay help me understand this...every time I see a badlands model I feel like it’s not the actual one that’s going to be produced. The only reason why I say this is because the front bumper should be the modular front bumper. Am I the only one noticing this? This is what ford has on their website as the modular front bumper.

Might be cause the sensors and fog lights. The mod bumper doesn’t have a place for that. So maybe when you upgrade to have the sensors and stuff it changes the bumper. Just a thought. Also might be confirmed somewhere I don’t know.

I like these wheels a lot better than the sasquatch wheels. Just my opinion.
I like these wheels too but these Badlands wheels will take a lot of rock rash damage and not look good after a while (if you take your rig off road) whereas the beadlock capabale/squatch wheels will hold up better, especially with the ring added. The beadlock/squatch wheels look way better with the ring added and I hope the ring comes in a carbonized grey.

I think this bodes well for stand alone options that aren’t tied to specific trim levels or packages. My hope is that once you select your trim model, you’ll be able to add/upgrade or subtract really anything you want. This FrankenBronco feeds into that hope.

And the fogs? Well I don’t know then. Maybe just part of the Frankenstein then lol.
Modular doesn't have fogs, unfortunately. It's definitely the standard bumper on this particular one, I just wanted to mention that the modular can have sensors.

Oh, I've gotta have that gloss black grille for my Badlands. Hoping that's a sign that the Shadow Black hardtop option does include the gloss black grille and mirror caps as was shown on the original literature. Or it'll be a standalone option. Need contrast against my Carbonized Gray paint.

That's not the modular bumper is it and gloss black grille? Yes, understand pre-production but come on.
Not modular bumper. They don’t come with fog lights :(

I think we're all gonna be surprised when the actual B&P comes out and reveals the many options we have not seen before, to include bumpers and grills.

I'm just patiently awaiting the B&P before I make assumptions. A lot of drama out there over things we don't even know. In the wise words of Aaron Rodgers....R-E-L-A-X. Relax.
