Based on this thread I bought a $10 set of Torx Plus bits from Amazon and T+40 is too big! T+40 does not fit. T40 fits but has some wiggle room. Maybe it's a T+39 or a T41, haha!

Here's the best I could do with my cell phone (T+40 on the left, bronco bolt, T40 on the right)

Yea I am very puzzled by this. I'm also finding that my vin says I should have certain options that I can't seem to find. Most notably it says I should have a universal garage remote on visor, not there. I wonder what else I'm missing

I just used a regular T40 (not plus). It wiggles and doesn't feel right but doesn't cam out and strip.

So we still have no concensus on what bolt this is?

So your torx+ bit only has 5 points, it ain't gonna fit no how. the tooth porfile looks square like the bolt head but not enough points.
Wow can't believe I missed that. I can't believe Amazon would sell me junk (lol).

Just have to be careful when using T40. It's just one of those misteries.

As others have said. It's a TP40. Torx Plus 40.

It's a TP40, trust me. So are the other bolts within the bronco. They went with a TP setup it looks like.

I used this kit and no slippage at all

It's not junk, it's a tamper resistant torx plus, which has 5 lobes. See the giant cut out circle in the middle? That's the tamper resistant bit. You don't want tamper resistant torx plus, you just want torx plus which has 6 lobes.

That's crazy if that's the actual specification. The non-plus Torx security bit (in the same picture) has the same six lobes as a regular Torx bit. I've got a new set of non-security Torx plus (confirmed 6 lobes in the product picture) on the way from Amazon. Will report back.
