When I ordered my Base 2dr back in Jan 2022, there was no option to add an OEM hitch. By the time I picked up my little pony wiring, all was in the accessories catalogue. So I decided to skip this particular mod by @BudgetBronco, use the OEM equipment and have Ford install it.
So I went down to Lake Ford in Milwaukee, WI, where I picked the Bronco up, ordered the parts and made an appointment. They still have my truck, but here's how it's going...
Lake Ford quoted ~2hrs for the wiring based on Ford's "Plug'n'Play" estimates. Turns out it's running closer to 8hrs (Lake Ford holding to the original quote). And I just got off the phone with the service rep manager, who wanted to confirm I wanted the electronic brake control before they tear into the dash to install the switch.
Update:
The total time was approximately 14hrs of work and the switch was placed in the center console but right side up (I think?)
Otherwise a clean install and totally worth it.
-------------------------------
I doubt I'll have the truck back before the end of the week, which is fine. They gave me a free loaner until the work is done, and I'd rather they do the work slowly and correctly and not feel rushed.
I'll grab some photos once I get her back.
