That trailer sway control might not Actually be part of the package. The Ford website says that itā€™s standard on all of the models including Base which canā€™t even be equipped with factory tow package. I think this is another one that only the B&P will solve. ?ā€ā™‚
Unfortunately I know nothing about towing. Can the Base 2dr be set up with the equipment to be able to tow? I'd love to get a lightweight travel trailer.

Yes. I asked this question during Fords Twitter Q&A a while back. They said the base can be outfitted with an aftermarket hitch and wiring accessory.

Common assumption is that yes, one could do that. (Just canā€™t order it from the factory.)

I also remember hearing that fleet sales base Broncos *could* be optioned with the tow package... which if true, adds credence to the idea that there isnā€™t anything inherently different with the base that would prevent you from doing it yourself.

How is this any safer than glass that can actually break and shower the occupants with shards? Lol
Only expensive German cars have laminated glass on side windows.
Thereā€™s a frame too.

But of course the people at the meet representing Ford never bothered to read the Ford Badlands web page on seating options.

Optional
  • 10-way Power Driver seat (4-Door Only)
  • 8-way Power Passenger (4-Door Only)
https://www.ford.com/suvs/bronco/2021/models/bronco-badlands/

And no, carpet is not optional.
They also said rubberized flooring is not available on the FE, and, well the FE does have power seats. Itā€™s like theyā€™re saying that power seats require the rubberized flooring to be removed, and replaced with carpet. Odd.

ā€¢ POWER SEATS will not be available on washout trim such as BL and BD because the power doors are not wash out. Meaning you may have to get carpet for them to put in the power seats.

I need some help with this. I'm fine with not having power seats in the BL, as I was already thinking electronics in the seat may not be the smartest idea around water.

At the same time, I need someone to translate this for me in a way that makes sense.
What does "power doors" refer to? Is it talking about the actual vehicle doors or something else? What do the doors have to do with the seat controls?

The wife and I went to the event and wants to know what does a $69 membership get you for BN that this forum doesnā€™t already provide?
You get a membership # and about $6.00 worth of swag.

My tow package in my 2011, F-150 came with a transmission cooler, too. I'm expecting that given the 600 dollar cost.

No?
Depends on what the engineers decide is the limit on cooling capacity vs. weight.

14. What is the max roof load?
110 dynamic, 450 static.

Iā€™d be reluctant to use a rooftop tent with these numbers. ā›ŗ Weight of tent plus two adults would be cutting it too close IMO.
I would like some clarity on this one. Is that on the roof rack or on the roof itself? I believe that stock roof rack can be diy with supports to spread out the weight, if the roof itself can take the load.

You ask a non-technical marketing person a technical question, like the difference between seats and doors, and they are stumped. At this point I only believe what is on Fords website:

Probably the memory buttons for seat positions are in the doors like most vehicles these days and even the controls for adjusting the seats are mounted in the doors of a lot of vehicles now.

Wifeā€™s next comment was, ā€œFord isnt getting enough $ out of us for a $60k bronco + accessories and the 230k reservations that they have to find other ways through their ā€œindependentā€ I mean ā€œshell company/affiliated forumā€ to dig deeper?ā€
