It's not really speculation when Ford wrote exactly that it was GVWR causing problems in the official FAQ they sent out.
Can you point me to the official faq? Because I'm sceptical of this GVWR situation. Plus I've had persons at dealers say various things I knew were untrue, so I generally take what they say with caution.

The screen prints in that link? I can't view them without making an account. Maybe you can paste full docs here? Thanks.

My source tells me a lot of this stuff missing in b&p is due to testing that is not complete yet. Like rollover testing with certain packages (squatch) and load on roof. That’s what they built all those Broncos for last several weeks. Little patience.

What is Ford using some kind of 1/2 inch thick heavy aluminum body panels. ;)

Product FAQs

Why do certain models prohibit some accessories?
We have a Bronco for every customer. Many Bronco accessory items can be added during or after vehicle delivery at the dealer. We engineered Bronco for maximum off-road capability and GVWR restrictions may limit combinations of certain accessories.

Wow, people on here make up a lot of crap...drama queens:

Talk about creating drama and overthinking it...good lord. Modify it all you want; you’re not getting ticketed for weight reasons. You’re not violating any statute....and no, you can’t be “criminally charged” for a vehicle that exceeds GVWR and is in an accident. Both points are lies. At civil risk? Maybe, but would have to a crazy stretch of circumstances. Criminal? No.
Bullshit. Not lies, look it up AH.

I did. Go ahead and post the statutes that you claim would cause you to be criminally charged for exceeding manufacturers stated GVWR restrictions on a passenger vehicle. I'll hang up and wait for the statutes. Otherwise...you made it up, Drama...

Every State is different. You can start here:

https://www.samleman.com/finance/car-buying-tips/what-does-gvwr-mean/#:~:text=The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is basically the maximum total,10-20% of the combined

Then you can do your own research while sucking your name.
