Full Vehicle Bash Plates (and unavailable options if you select FVBP)

[B73]

Back in March when I placed my initial order, it was at the dealership that I learned certain options cancelled out others. Made zero sense at the time, dealer agreed. I was on the Ford site the other night, since I'm one of the many who received notice of your '21 is now a '22. Anyway, if Full Vehicle Bash Plates are ordered, the following are unavailable, which makes zero sense:
-Corner Protectors
-Roof Rack
-Brush Guard
-Cargo Area Protector
-Cargo Area Rug
-Safe Deposit Box
-Paint Protection Film

Q: can anyone explain how metal plates on the bottom of the Bronco would affect any of these options?

I think part of it is a GVW thing.

total vehicle weight maybe?

Yep, once you go FVBP there is not enough available cargo weight for a 200# driver plus 5# of plastic film, lol

But the way around it is to not order FVBP, get all your other goods as desired and then buy FVBP from an alternate source if unavailable through accessories

My theory has been that Ford doesn't want you upgrading your trim level to the next one a la carte. I couldn't configure my OBX with the Cargo Area Protector without removing the Sasquatch package (HUH?). That's not a GVW thing. I did get my dealer to get me the CAP from the accessory catalog for the price on the B&P page, however, rather than the marked-up accessory catalog price.

Careful on this, because i "think" i read that the suspension components are designed around the weight of the vehicle. So if you add heavy components later, you may end up with a suspension it's a little over stressed. Others have research to this

The PPF part drives me crazy!!

Anyone still optioning PPF is crazy since it’s the most seriously constrained item

I can only guess too heavy for a roof rack. Others no idea.
