Ford Accessory Winch Kit now available for 2021 Bronco

[BroncoKong Jr.]

If the mount & winch were the original $2500 price I’d do it but Im not spending $3500 and giving up the ACC from the lux package. Ford offers warn winches in the front bumpers of other vehicles that have ACC, why didnt they take this into account on the bronco?

It's strange, isn't it? Especially since it's been crash-tested.

Maybe the sensor locations weren't finalized when it was designed?

I wonder what the airbag reprogramming does?

Makes it so the point of impact triggering the bags is the winch & mount rather than the front bumper.

Found this coming soon just now poking around on the interwebs.

That's an LoD winch plate specifically for their Jeep bumpers.

For that price you could buy a beater mud rig on swampers to pull you out . But I guess for people that cant cut, bend, and weld metal or paint or wire up a 3 way switch its not too bad a deal. Materials and tools would cost half that. Plus a crash course in fab work. It adds up. Anyway I plan on building my own in a empty lot somewhere between Granger Ford, a Harbor Freight and a local Iowa metal scraper. I will but a cheap stick welder, a drill with some bits, a grinder, and a Badlands Apex winch. It will be very Roadkill and hella fun.

I bet the pictures will be more interesting than the shiny rigs on dubs.

The picture is just a placeholder for the time being I do believe. It says coming soon. I do love the names they have for their stuff though. “LoD”

It’s a placeholder because BB has no idea if/when anything is being designed or manufactured

Am I reading the install wrong or is it beyond the realm of possibility to simply remove the winch assembly from the recovery forging mounting brackets for daily use if you have the Lux pkg and want the adaptive cruise control for daily use? That is once the initial install is completed.

You could reinstall the winch when you head off to off road. If you install a simply power quick disconnect it only looks like four bolts. Yes you will have those mounting brackets sticking out but that wouldn't interfere with the camera or the adaptive cruise control.

And for those of us required to have a front plate, the plate blocks the camera even more. Even if it would have a flip up plate when using the winch, front camera would be useless. Only option I guess is to remove the front plate when wheeling?

You could get a fairlead-mounted license plate bracket

I agree. DO WE KNOW WHY?
I have been waiting for this to come out and have it as my #1 MOD. Now they are saying it is not compatible on my Black Diamond Order. Need a reason here....a front facing sensor? The Modular Bumper and mounting points are certainly the same. ???????????????????

Same here!

They don't mention the camera that is part of the high package. Maybe the extra $ includes camera and/or winch controller relocate?

This is exactly what i was wondering about. If you have the LUX package you can not put a winch on your vehicle. I would hope that the Ford engineers address this for the 2022 models.

Uh, at release the winch option was originally $2500. Crazy, I thought that was too much then.

Ford has to make up for all the money they lost on the hardtops . it’s 3,500 now plus they f up the bumper now for the rest of us so we can pay more for that. Funny thing now is I’ll buy it all after market and then Ford won’t get anything Way to go Ford .
