So when I got my Bronco, it was the mannequin at the dealer. For some reason it was missing the radio antenna.
The sales manager just walked over to his personal Bronco and took the antenna off and put it on mine. Awesome. (he'd ordered a stubby already).

But I just noticed on someone else's FordPass app that you can see the antenna on the picture of the bronco:

And on mine... there's no antenna:

..... did it not come with one from the factory? ..... does the badlands not come with one?

Mine is a Wildtrak. I have the antenna on mine in my driveway. 🤷🏼‍♂️

OK, so doesn't seem to be any reason if it shows or not, and it wasn't an all knowing app that mine was actually missing the antenna at one point.

The bronco comes with an antenna, all do. Don't rely of Ford's pics. I assure you, the sasquatch tires don't look like that in real life either

The Bronco always reports back to corporate it's current state and updates the displayed model. I tried it just now and switched to the interior view, there's a big blob of bird shit rendered on my seat.

The build page also shows center armrests in the MGV rear seats (which don’t exist), missing hero switches, etc.

And look at the fat tires my BD was supposed to come with… 😂

This is a cutting-edge, real-time app. If you step out of the vehicle and look at the app again, I bet it goes away. 😉
