Well, at least a part of it.

I deleted the Tow Package from my 7/14 1 am reserve date order, in hopes of moving up every so slightly in the build queue. Of course, I'm waiting for a 2 door, so my wait will still be pretty long.

In the meantime, I ordered the hitch separately, and it just arrived.

So I guess I have 1% of my new ride...

What is the process for install? other than bolt on?

Does the bumper already have a notch to accept?
Did it come with the bolts?
Is the wiring harness pre-run?
Does the computer need flashing to acknowledge the tow hitch?

please let us know your findings.

The bumper cover has to be removed. The instructions show a pictogram warning to "not discard" the bumper, lol.

This is just the hitch - it attaches with 4 bolts, which are included. I'm using it for light duty (bike rack, etc) so no need to for an electrical hookup, which is not included anyway.

Notably, the instructions from Ford do call for this for a "2021 Bronco".

Man I debated that but do use the hookups from time to time. Could probably get away without them, but spending this much and the cost of tow I cannot justify not getting it for a chance to get a slightly earlier delivery. This sucks.
