Capable Front Bumper vs Heavy-Duty Modular Bumper

[P.C]

Capable bumper is in B&P down under Accessories/Exterior/Bumpers Roof etc.

Oh wow. This is in the B&P? I'd much rather have the capable than the heavy duty just for the fogs.

Not on Badlands. Which I suppose is why I never saw it.

I'm probably sticking with the modular since it comes with the bash plates. What's wierd is that they made it seem like a steel rear bumper would come with the modular, but there isn't even anything about the rear bumper anymore

If you go under First Edition, Badlands and Black Diamond it does mention it comes with steel rear bumper. But I couldn't find any pics and couldn’t find as option for other models. Another description on front steel bumper mentions rear steel bumper as if it comes with front steel bumper. Dang Ford needs to fix B & P before order banks open or we're going to be ordering in the blind on alot accessories.

I remember seeing that before b&p and it was one of the reasons I was going with the modular bumper, but at this point who knows. Hopefully Ford gets their shit together with the b&p before we place our orders.

keep this in mind. Aftermarket bumpers will most likely not account for the sensor in the bumper. I have a raptor and no aftermarket bumper will account for the acc sensor. You will have to relocate the sensor and these sensors are sensitive and not easy to relocate.

Can you disconnect the ACC and still have regular CC? Any warning lights?

I have no issues ditching ACC if I go with an aftermarket bumper unless it causes issues.

It would be nice if there was a Bumper Delete Option in the B&P for those who will be going aftermarket for them....

Even though I want a Badlands, both the bumper and the rock rails are probable replacement items. The rock rails will go pretty early on.

On the winch - you can get a plate steel front bumper that has the winch plate built in, and a winch with synthetic line for less than just the winch and modular platform add on.

Yeah this makes no sense. The Modular Bumper (the one that has been seen and talked about since the beginning) clearly has the "Modular" parts and bolts that you can see to add and remove things (like removing the end caps)

The Capable looks to be one piece with explains why it could come with Fog Lights. But one would think the Price would reflect this with Capable being cheaper and HD Modular being the more expensive option since it is clearly more off-roadish.

But if Capable comes with Fogs, accounts for all sensors, AND allows for a winch plate to bolt on... that could be a winner! If it came with rear steel bumpers... done!

It should just be a button to switch to regular CC

But does the front capable and front steel bumper come with a rear bumper to match?

Seemingly no

Seemingly no

“Seemingly”. But has anyone seen it?

Just a quick search earlier showed me, at least on some [all?] Jeeps, that disconnecting the ACC sensor will give you warnings and your regular CC won't work.

Black Diamond comes with both front and rear steel bumpers.

I've seen complaints of the sensor being dirty or blocked by ice triggers warnings. I suspect removing it would give constant warnings.

No. It's not in the B&P. I've said for a while now that the front steel bumper option won't come with the rear, but that was just an educated guess based on price. So far that seems to be the case. It is standard on the Badlands and Black Diamond, however. I'm sure it'll be available eventually through Parts.

No idea, but that makes sense to me.
