Flat Tow Equipment Availability?

[PhillyGuy]

Does anyone have information on when manufacturers such as Curt Manufacturing, BlueOx or others will have flat tow equipment package ready for the 2021/2022 Broncos? I intend on having the dealer install for me upon delivery.

Blue Ox said they are waiting on New Bronco to build a base plate.
My plan, until Ford saids no, is to use the D-ring shackles on the modular bumper.
The Bronco shackles are wider than normal, looks like 1 1/8" the best I could measure wiithout
touching. So again my plan in to open up the Blue Ox adapters which have a 1" opening to fit the Bronco.
I'm using a Brake Buddy Stealth braking system on my Jeep now. Which I really like.
Still studying the rear lights as the OBX has led tail lights.

Thanks much! I've ordered my bronco with the modular bumper and was wondering if I can do the same and not install a base plate. I've seen Blue Ox parts for LED tail lights on the F150 so my hope is it's the same for the Bronco.

I am sure BlueOx will have a tow bar end adapter to fit before we get them, they already have a 1.1" one for the standard 1" shackle (why Ford couldn't stick with the 1" standard I don't know). As for the lights I will wait to find out if diodes will work, if not I will just add a LED surface mount RTB light to the back, or if there is room in the OEM assembly add a plug in LED light & socket, several options.

But what is the clevis opening dimensions? I am not milling out and weakening the arms, just my luck they would let go and coverage denied due to unauthorized modification of safety equipment. I will wait for a Bronco specific adapter, it will be along soon.
