Because with the power ports on the dash the rail makes sense (LUX pkg). The others seen I think they've just added it on.

This is a *very* early prototype which they abandoned for the straight cheese grater picatinny standard.
I'm not so sure it is based on Picatinny design. This version seems to be a different approach. The aftermarket may well have something, it all depends on the mounting point on the dash - if it is present without the rail or if the dash plate is a blank.
Also, this one looked like it even had M-loc...

I'm just saying it'll eventually be an option on all trims. There''s been nothing from Ford to indicate it's part of the Lux package.

If that's the case, you would think Ford would've mentioned it at least once over the last 7 months.

Is it part of Lux? The slide out tailgate was mentioned as a late availability. The BYOD has literally disappeared from Ford. Try to find it, pictures and all mention of it seem to have disappeared.

Source? Or pure speculation?
I forgot about the mention by Bronco Nation in that video but Ford has still pulled all reference to it.
Can anyone find an actual Ford reference to this besides the release video and things immediately after release? That is my bigger reason for thinking it has been cancelled without telling people. Also why I really started this string was to see if everything else is speculation or did I miss somewhere it is still mentioned by Ford.
It could be Bronco Nation knows it is still coming but didn't mention late availability. But they did mention late availability with the slide out tailgate.

Conspiracy theory ahead!
Could Ford have pulled the Pic rail because of the broad understanding that it relates to guns?
End of conspiracy theory

Sigh... I'll do the forum searching to see if I can find this information/source I was repeating....

Zach this was just posted so this settles the question. Or at least for for now, we will see by MY21.
Thank you AaronSo there has been speculation that the rail may be gone all together or part of a package. So I asked and got the very typical “more to come” response but I think the positive take away is that the rail is still coming and that it is for sure supposed to be picatinny sizing.
One of those items FORD bragged about and "poof".....it disappeared.

Just to followup.
The Mlok version was a 3d printed bar on the original reveal broncos. Judging by the clamps they used it seemed to be an obvious Picatinny rail, but there wasn't an mention from Ford about specific spec.
At the NYSE reveal in August, we got a close up look of a more finished rail and it had transformed into the cheese grater Picatinny spec.

I thought there was a conversation with a Ford rep who stated this version was where it was developing into.. and there was some theorizing that Ford didn't want to license MLok... and considering Picatinny is open spec, it would make sense for them to just go with that.
Either way, I couldn't quickly find the reference to that conversation, so either I can't find it or it never actually happened... and as you posted, Mike Levine tweeted that more information is coming.
I can't imagine they are abandoning this idea... I suspect it's more an issue about licensing or liability, etc... and considering what's available for the Jeep aftermarket, it's just a matter of time we have something similar for the Bronco.
