2022 Bronco gets "Capable Bumper" option. Comes standard on Black Diamond and Badlands

[Razorback]

The modular bumper was required for the full steel bash plates. Does that mean we lose those as well?

is it me or does this capable bumper look plastic af in the images provided? also i dont think you can remove the end caps on it as some had mentioned if the image is correct. i dont mind the look, in fact i am up in the air now to add it to my build in place of the mod bumper since it already has the fog lights. just doesnt look like steel to me.

Best to see it in person than to pass judgement on pics viewed on a $99.95 monitor, or worse a cell phone.

When are we going to get the meaningful announcements for 2022? Like:
- Carpet on the rear seat back of the BD and BL models is replaced with plastic?
- The front camera is being relocated so a winch can be added to high trim?
- The rear seat on all 4 door interior trims will have a fold down arm rest?

Order banks open the 13th of next month. Build guide is usually released shortly after.

Capable bumper is still steel. Thickness however I'm not sure about. Oddly it mentions the skid plate under the bumper for the Modular bumper but not for the capable bumper. Wonder if the capable option doesn't include the skid plate.

When are they going to make a capable bumper that is capable of allowing the installaion of a winch without interfering with the camera and the ACC?

I'll trade you, as I want the capable and based on how this is written, it's unclear if I can opt for it on my BB order.

I’m sure you can for a price

If the last year and change have taught me anything, it's don't assume the Bronco team is thinking logically when it comes to content availability across trim levels.

Why would I want a jeep knock off bumper on my Badlands?

No thanks Ford, not pleased

I read it on the BN and they removed this: supports the brush guard, factory winch, and front steel bash plates

Oh snap! There’s the rub then peeps. That edit, while disappointing, makes way more sense

Hopefully @Diode Dynamics has a factory fog light replacement ss3 kit like f—150 and danger ranger.

Not sure about plates, as I see it on photos with the capable bumper. I don't think they will remove it from Badlands, but let's see.

Why does this black diamond look like it has a gloss black grill?

It does

Won’t be a factory option though

Look at the pics and tell me how the end caps come off?! Where are the seams for end removal and the accessory bolts for this and for mounting additional lights/ accessories?

agreed. No modularity or threaded holes based on photos and not sure how winch or brush guard are attached. Either the pics are a prototype and not final product or they are making those claims because it is steel and you can drill and cut it up yourself. I do like fog lights and freeing up an aux switch. Or they had a “typo” in their marketing and misrepresented about 1/2 of the features they originally claimed. Must have been a summer intern publishing info.
