Preproduction Frankenstein Bronco that just came off the line at Wayne

[Aman]

Not sure what it said in the other thread, but the Badlands appears to support the front parking sensors in the non-removable upper portion of the bumper.

I’m pretty sure you are right about the fog lights being an aftermarket type of thing (no oem) with the modular bumper.

Agreed, here's a closeup

I really hope they stick to that. I really do. I've not seen them on mules and the badlands that have had forwards sensors are with the third style bumper. There are all sorts of disclaimers about computer generated images so who know. There is a Wiltrak in Antimatter blue on Ford's Bronco site with a badlands grille. So we will keep on guessing till the B&P clarifies. Would make sense since First editions have modular and are suppose to have everything but some of the first edition pics don't show them either. Again computer generated and all.

Sooo,what do they do with all these "pre production" Broncos ??? And if they can build this many,why aren't they building Broncos for sale ? ? ?

They get crushed once they're through with testing.

They are simply test builds to prove out the process, tooling, equipment, testing, etc. Most are crushed once they have served there purpose.

IMO the smaller wheel arch flares (seen here) look better than what you get with the Sasquatch package. The later version IMO sticks out too far and just looks awkward. This version (w/33s) doesn't look over-done and is proportional looking.

Completely agree. I’m already planning to purchase another set of normal flares during the purchase.

Modular bumpers don't get sensors or fog lights as discussed in a previous thread where the outside of the bumpers can be removed for more clarence.

High Package
Mid Package content, plus: 12" center stack touchscreen; 360-Degree Camera; additional sound deadening materials; Forward Sensing System; and sideview mirror LED approach lamps and spotlight

Below are the 3 different bumpers out there. The outer banks and Wiltrak share the same bumper. The Badlands has had the modular and the forward sensor version on many a test mule.

Do you know which of the two plastic bumpers are for WT and OB? You can see forward sensors in both versions in the photo you referenced. Thanks!

Ya I have Wiltrak reserved and may go Badlands if that bumper with foglight are available. I'd be OK with the Non modular hard top and 33" wheels all day but would get the High or Lux with 2.7 and Auto!

The Black bronco with the painted flares is the Outerbanks. Thats the bumper the Wildtrak gets as well.

I think the Badlands does not get active grille shutters would be my only guess as to why they may call for a different front bumper. You can see the Active shutters in the top of the grille and in the middle of the bumper opening.

Here is a Wildtrack with the modular bumper

 

[PDiddy]

That modular steel bumper is better looking than most aftermarket ones. Lols better than the wrangler modular bumper as well. Although, the wranglers holds a winch down inside it. Which would be preferable. But dang, ford nailed the look of the modular one.

So the only way to get the BFG 33" All Terrains is the Badlands WITHOUT Sasquatch, correct?

Correct, (currently and unfortunately)

I kind of dig the black with a grey roof look here, Frankenstein or not.

This is Ford after all, you can have any color you want, so long as its black.

(For anyone to young to understand, Google Model T)

He made that comment in 1909 (google searched date), so I hope we're all too young to understand

True, but some of us understand Ford history better than others.

No google allowed, first year Ford had a V-8? What was it called?
