Does/Will Ford have a Badge of Honor system like Jeep does?

[RynoRanger]

I'm very close to taking delivery of my Badlands and a handful of my Jeep buddies are waiting to take me out on some adventures. Not that I'm ready for the big serious runs YET but I know they all have physical patches in their rigs by way of checking in with an app on the bigger more difficult trails through Jeep's "Badge of Honor" system. Complete the trail and checking via GPS and they mail you the badge. https://www.jeep.com/badge-of-honor.html

Does Ford, or a third party, have that yet?
Will Ford do that?
...if not... any harm in just using the Jeep system?

I'm not super into badges or patches per-say but I think it's a cool way to say "I've been there done that".

Ford will likely do something similar with the FordPass Performance App.

BUT, it hasn't been released yet and we don't have a definitive release date from Ford. Last we heard it was "Fall 2021", but we're more than halfway through fall and no application yet.

The bronco itself is the badge of honor. It means you've been through the entire reservation, ordering, build and delivery process and have emerged unscathed. You get extra points for completing the journey in under 18 months.

Suck it Jeep, bet they can't give their owners THAT kind of experience....

Mike Levine personally mails you a "gold star" sticker whenever you complete a trail. No better badge of honour than that!

AAAAHHH yeah that looks like what they're up to... that's pretty cool it'll be integrated into the truck's ent system. Well hopefully we get that sooner rather than later. Nice, thank you, hadn't heard of that prior.

HAHAHA seriously ... well they sent me a lithograph, a hammock, and recently a flag so... I guess we have those.

Maybe Ford can make a badge for my driveway, because NO Bronco has ever conquered that trail.

Eastern time?

We should crowd-source our own Bronco-specific trail badges!

Found a Ford page for it that says Winter 2021. https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/search/fordpass performance app/

The FordPass Performance App, launching in winter 2021, allows you to easily plan, navigate, and share your off-road adventures.

No word of physical badge/patch or anything. So wondering if it's weird to signup and use the Jeep one just for the badges?

And TrailsOffroad seems to have a list of the trails that award badges. https://www.trailsoffroad.com/blog/the-complete-list-of-jeep-badge-of-honor-trails

yeah having patches to stick to seats/roof/interior would be cool. Definitely feels like Ford needs to stepup and get a move on.

Bronco doesn’t need to copy everything Jeep does.

I’d worry about the gvwr with too many patches.
