Footage of the 360 camera view with winch!

[beachman101]

They knew about it months and months ago and said they are working on it.

What they really mean, we are working on it for a later MY Bronco. We just want to launch this thing and get it off our to do list that's been there a couple decades.

I dunno about that. I wish mike was more active on twitter so questions like this can be asked (hell he should be more active here , when he isnt working he should be on here answering questions)

ford can solve alot of these problems with proper communication. I cant see them shipping this car with this issue from the factory. We just need a confirmation that they are moving the camera.

Another rockstar fail.

The open doors look like huge jet wings.

Flying Bronco when, ford?

That's bullsh*t. Why can't that be added to B&P. Come on Ford! We need jetwings in addition to new interior options and approximately 180 additional accessories.

At this point, it's an engineering problem. The vehicle is in final and being prepped for build.

I do some thinking from time to time because it's dangerous if I do it too much. However, they can reposition the forward sensor above the camera and lower the winch into the bumper where the sensor is now. It would solve all the issues with extended forward mounting, high mounting, camera conflict, and front license plate obstruction.

But what do I know, really?

It also needs to be added to the timeline. Flying Bronco Confirmed? About time!

On the plus side. When you move the solenoid you will be able to see your winch line, and spool when winching from the truck. If the Ford engineers can not get their act together the marketing folks should get on it. They could be marketing this as a feature. Ford's exclusive, industry first, active winch monitoring system. Only available on the Lux package though........

I dont think so. If they manage to move the camera it could solve the problem. To my knowledge this is the first time a company has offered so many options that can confict with each other

I was hoping to see the same tech as the LR Defender 360 cam. That thing is awesome!
I may just drop back from high to mid back now.

The FFC is disappointing - ignoring the winch obstruction; no guide for wheel placement?! Should have been placed underneath, behind the front axle, IMO.

Brilliant business plan by Ford; sell you expensive options which break other expensive options, then sell you yet another expensive option (camera relocation kit) to fix it. Winning!

Yeah, they really need to put a disclaimer on the B&P that the winch will obstruct the front camera. If not, there are going to be a lot of pissed of people that just bought a $2500 winch that interferes with their $2790 High package camera.

This is the biggest issue ford is facing. There are no disclaimers about this

which is why I’m confident they are fixing it because that is strait up lawsuit level stuff

Remember back when everyone just hoped the Bronco would come out at all and not be as awful as the Blazer?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I'm ok with the winch sort of blocking the view. Bronco and the new Defender have that front trail camera (Defender's is much more useful, but you'll pay for it).

Don't see me relying on a camera and move away from poking my head out of the window and using my passenger as a spotter.

With IFS, will have to go over a rock, then quickly turn because we still have a rear pumpkin, so centering a rock up front, then shifting left or right to miss the pumpkin will be a new skill for me to develop, but I"m good for it. Camera would do no help in that situation.

The side view cameras and ditch lights should come in handy though, so still more positives.

That isnt so bad i guess lol. You can technically still see the road!

From Justin Mcbride's Bronco Overland walkaround review video:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/hands-on-walkaround-review-of-the-bronco-overland-badlands-with-sasquatch-package.8083/

For now.....works for me.

This is the reason I will find a front hitch attachment for my Badlands. That will allow me to use a winch on the front or the rear, as needed.
