Capable vs Modular Bumper comparison video

Just saw on the youtubes that Bronco Wild Outdoors did a short clip comparing the two factory steel bumper options.



Hope this helps any of you on the fence.

That helps, thanks! I ordered capable with my '22 - plan to take it off and put on something more robust.

I almost upgraded my 22 BD to the mod. After looking at the factory winch mount in persons vs some aftermarket options I decided to keep the capable bumper. Im getting the 4wp setup. Ultimately will cost about the same but looks better imo and I still have oem fog light wiring and switch.

Modular all the way.

Denim on denim... Awesome.

@Tricky Dick - This is fashionable attire in the North.

This was helpful. Modular 100%.

I originally ordered the capable front bumper but in order speed up my order, I dropped it along with the protective plastic film and the tow package. Now my order lists my bumper as a "FRONT POWDER COATED STEEL BUMPER" Is this bumper different than the modular bumper?

Glad I ordered mod simply because it sticks out further. Wouldn't that lessen the chance of damaging the grill?

Dumb question, why order a better bumper if you're going to replace it with an aftermarket? Why go to the added expense?

I like the capable bumper more. Design cues are more suited to the overall design of the bronco. And I’ll never need a winch, so aesthetics can take more of a priority.

My question is whether there is a way to mount safari lights to the top of the capable bumper. Those I will need.

I have the capable front bumper on my non squash badlands. I ordered it because I figured when I get the winch I’d be saving money and bolt that sucker right on. I was def wrong. the crazy price of the Ford winch & the blocking of the front camera makes no sense to me. I’ll have to wait for a better option or get a better bumper. Maybe get the hidden rough country winch. It’s not ideal, but better than nothing.
Def go modular.

$700 less and has fog lights. No brainer for me. I’ll spend that money elsewhere, like an onboard air compressor.

You ordered the Badlands? I think the Badlands comes with the Capable standard. I haven't heard of anyone dropping the capable and getting the standard (plastic) bumper on a Badlands. It sounds like you dropped the Capable bumper, but instead are getting the Capable bumper, haha.

I haven't heard of the Capable bumper being a constraint, either. Perhaps you ordered the modular and dropped the modular bumper?

Modular bumper for me due to the fact plastic just doesn't do it for me. Replacing the rear bumper will be very high on my list.

My vote is for the Mod bumper, is looks better in my opinion.
