Thanks for sharing with the pic. I had read at least one other reporting this same issue. I just got mine Saturday so I haven't had a chance to test out the rear vents yet.

Great picture. How hard is that console to pull off?
Not bad. Just take the passenger side handle off and use a pry bar to raise it up a bit.

I really don’t understand why there is no actual rear vents on the console, wife has a base(SE) edge and it has rear vents on the console.

Just another weird decision Ford made. It’s really bizarre how they decided to add so many overly complicated electronic doo-dads all over this vehicle, while ignoring some of the basic features that almost every car on the road has these days.

I know there are a few people - maybe a lot - here who think the Bronco should be even more high-end and luxurious, like Range Rover territory, but I really believe it would have been better if they had stuck with the tried and true basics, and concentrated on making the thing tough and reliable. Sometimes I feel like we’re driving a 4-wheel-drive iPhone…

Agree! Waiting for @Mabett to complete his design. Looks like they are working on that exact set up. Don't have my Bronco yet, just got built, but with two little kiddos it will be a modification I am certainly looking for a solution on.

Agree, Not looking for luxurious. But, the Edge and Bronco start at pretty much the same price point and the baseSE edge gets rear vents on the console, to be honest the base SE edge is well equipped for being base. consoles are probably pretty close to the same size, I’d say the bronco is a little wider.

I've been following this for a while and just got my Bronco Saturday that was a mid April build. My rear floor vents seem to put out pretty good output for no bigger than they are. So I'm wondering if the problem for others is the disconnected duct in the console like shown above?

That seems to be the most likely scenario from what I've read here.

Damn, I just had the entire console and most trim pieces off last weekend installing internal LEDs and running the rear dashcam wiring.

Great find, I'll have to check this out when I get some free time! Thanks for sharing!

question on the aircon settings... does the option to send air to your feet have to be enabled for the rear under-seat vents to function? I don't feel like mine do sh*t either so looking for an option w/ the kiddo in the rear-facing seat.
