• Material: powder-coated steel
• Features: modularity, fog lights, recovery points, supports the brush guard, factory winch, and front steel bash plates

Pics of these two things, please...someone... I can't keep up with this BS. This rollout is a disaster. So I won't be getting a steel bumper on my BL now? Is this the news? I get more mismatched colored plastic? Ford, why don't you just drive to my house and punch me in the d...

Well if you click the link from op you can stop your meltdown

I will click the link AND continue my meltdown.

Which bumper will hold my new hammock the best?

 

[Mdemieville]

Don't like it. Looks like a jeep bumper

Makes me happier for a 2021. I think the Modular bumper looks better than the "capable" bumper.

now if it had cup holders game set match.

 

[BroncoPls!]

None of these appear to have a good front plate mount. I think I'll just keep my front plate in the glove box!

2021 badlands bumper looks the best.

But do we know how many cup holders the capable bumper comes with? That might be a deal breaker!!

Quite possibly some good news for those two trims. Now they come standard with fog lights. You're welcome!!

@ZackDanger Has anyone seen the brush guard attached to the capable bumper?

As far as "seeing" it... the capable bumper disappeared pretty early on, so we only have photos from the test mules that were caught driving around.. here are all the photographs:

i am so happy they introduced this bumper. we were running out of things to complain about, but here i present to you the CAPABLE BUMPER......

Considering it was mentioned in the early release stuff I highly doubt it's taken much engineering time away from the issues that came up later on...

If it costs extra when it was standard before, I’m gonna be pissed.

Same here!
