No

Yes I can definitely confirm this is the rear sway bar. However I wasn’t aware of it being an added piece of hardware for 2022. This is news to me as I always assumed it was reserved for the upcoming Everglades trim but very well might be more common than that.

I would like to see others be able to confirm the presence. There’s quite a few quiet changes made for 2022 I’ve noticed. Another neat thing I really am glad they did are the body color SecuriCode pads now. There was something else small but I forget at the moment.

This however is a fairly decent sized change and I’m wondering if you may have a unicorn.

This is tag on the sway bar.

So, you made me look. My 21 does not have the bar, but the upper link bracket does have holes to accept a bar mount. Not like your early barless photo:

Interesting. Peaked under a 2021 Black Diamond, and no bar there either.

Wonder if it's a Sasquatch/Badlands/Wildtrak suspension thing. Or maybe it is new for 2022.

EDIT: Definitely not on this 2021 First Edition, but the trailing arm mount does have the holes to mount the sway bar.

That small of a diameter on the swaybar is not doing much. I would delete it.

Having that rear swaybar probably going to make it more stable especially going down steep off camber stuff wish the 2021's had it.

It will do a lot more than you realize.

Wasn't the lack of rear sway bar one of the reasons sited for the limited tow rating?

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe Ford is working on improvements in towing, hey, shows they're listening maybe.

No towing package and sasquatch is the offroad package. Where's this leave the Badlands? A sway bar will hurt articulation. Badlands get disconnecting front and rear now?

Does your window sticker show something about the rear sway bar?
What's your max weight on the door sticker?

anyone else that got there MY22 look under their car yet to see?

Or it's possibly going to cause you to lift a tire quicker.

I checked window sticker last night and it has nothing about rear sway bar. It shows front sway bar.

Damn. I just went out to confirm. My 21 base Sasquatch 4 door doesn’t have one.

On the jeeps, the rear doesn’t disconnect; just tue front. The small tears don’t really affect articulation much on the jeeps.

We really need to have some more 2022 owners chime in on this. Seems weird that Ford would make a change like this and not say a word. Seems like something they would want to brag about.
