Even without the trail cam issue I'll be looking for an aftermarket bumper that doesn't position the winch like that. It's like walking around with your chin thrust out and constantly shouting "I DARE you to punch me!". So I won't be optioning anything on top of it at order time and bide my time to see what the aftermarket brings . . . and most likely pair it with a much more affordable winch option than that Warn (not knocking Warn, just the $$$).
FWIW, I talked to one of the Ford guys that drives around the demos (he had Bronco sport at the time) and asked him if they were going to have a bumper with integrated winch. He said he thought that was going to be one of the 200 accessories. Guess we will see in a few weeks.

I think if they had a better option they'd show us. They keep putting this one on demos, and on the site. And there was a rep somewhere at one of these events that said they couldn't get an in-bumper winch to work. I think it's because the bumpers are significantly lower profile that on, say, a Jeep. ?

I'm just gonna hope my guy was right. That's one of my last concerns. So i'll be asking when I get over there on Friday. Really doubt I will get a clear answer.

Clear answer - not a chance. Like I said until I see it in an email from FORD or B&P I take it with a grain of salt. My dealer has fed me incorrect information that they later had to correct.

Understanding that a lot of what we are seeing is still pre-pro and not necessarily committed to production . . . the bumpers I *have* seen with an integrated winch are, IMO, terrible.

Am i missing something here? If this is indeed badlands, then where is the missing switch in the OffRoad Hero Switch Pack? I thought it was supposed to have 6.
The six available hero switches (per Ford.com) are:
-Stabilizer bar
-Front locker
-Rear locker
-Trail turn assist
-ESC
-Hazard lights (lol at this one being a feature)

The Trail Turn Assist requires the auto transmission. This is a manual. That is the missing button.

Then don't! That freezer/cooler is only $1,200 (plus the pull-out tray). Get one of those!

Or just save a grand and get an Rtic.
Lol. I am trying to judge space in the back. If it is a Tundra 65, I should have enough space for camping gear, Wife, kidX2, and camping gear

It's illegal to load your wife and kids in the back of the Bronco. While it does free up a lot of seat space for your drinking buddies up front, she's going to be pissed the first time you let her out of the boot. Not trying to give marital advice here, but you should probably allocate a seat with seatbelt for her and the kiddos.

Although the A51 looks nice, the reveals didn't keep me excited today. A little disappointed. I thought we'd have several different ones to look at.
