Updated with Q&A:






So this bumper will work with the parking sensors there are spots for the sensors by the fog lights. You are correct that this bumper will not work with ACC and is noted in the instructions.



Yes this bumper will fit the Sasquatch package the best on width and on normal width fenders there is about a inch to 1.5 inch overhang there is other options in the works but nothing that we have at this time.



I'll try and answer most these questions and will get more info on Monday for you from warn but here is what we know

1) I will see if I can get some more pictures of this from warn for you but it seems that this bumper sits in the same location the mod bumper sits I will confirm and reply when I have more info.

2) you are correct there is bottom cutout vents to help with cooling of the intercooler

3) So this bumper has provisions for the parking sensors in the bumper but does not work with ACC and will block the camera when you buy the bumper with grill guard.

4) This bumper was tested at a 12,000lbs pulling capacity.

5) So if you get the bumper without the grill guard and you relocate the winch control pack you should be able to use the front camera this is subject on which brand of winch you use. They have only tested it on warn winches and we have not tested it on any others to see about clearance.

I was told the front of the bumper sits about 9 inches out from the grill face and the d-shackle mounts are about 12 inches out. I requested a side picture - none available at this time ... I'd like to see any impact on approach angle - they claim adequate air flow into the intercooler.

That you could sell and use to pay for your Bronco....

I am wondering since most orders were pushed into the 2022 MY that Ford Engineers will address the issue with the location of the front camera/ winch installation for models with the LUX model. Possibly move the camera up a bit to accommodate a winch. I see this factory reset as a way to fix these issues.

Like I said, it was a black diamond, can’t go higher than mid on that model period. I found the video, town and country Ford was doing an overview of a customers BD. Clear as day in the middle of the radiator hole that the steel mod bumper has. He stated in the video that you have to get the sensor deactivated to run a winch but I haven’t seen that confirmed by someone who has actually installed one.


I hope you’re right that it’s actually just a filler. Would be one less thing to worry about.

I know you have to deactivate the parking sensors with the Ford winch mount?

Since it is rated at 12,000 lbs pulling capacity why does Warn state "Never tow vehicle by attaching a tow bar to the eyelets on the bumper.
Do not attach tow bars directly to the bumper. Damage to bumper may occur. WARN bumpers are not designed to be used for flat towing. "?

Same question from me. I understand that with the Ford bumper you can flat tow by connecting to the eyelets..

What size lights fit in the bumper? Is there a recommended light?

Looks REAL nice.

I saw a review by an early user of this bumper. He said the quality looked good, but he ran into a problem. Unlike the Jeep version there is apparently no mounting brackets or hardware for the fog lights. There is no mention of fog lights at all in the Bronco instructions.

Are there specific fog lights with brackets that are intended to be used with the bumper, or is warn planning to offer something later?

With the modular bumper, the d-ring mount is directly attached the frame and pokes through a hole in the bumper (very strong). It is a different story for d-rings welded to a bumper which is attached to the frame via brackets.

It still depends on how strong the bumper is. If the bumper is as strong as the frame then having the d -rings welded or bolted to it is no problem.
The question remains? Can you tow from this bumper? if it's rated at 12k then you should be able too

This bumper is beautiful and the one that I want but have one question. Does it allow air to the inter-cooler? But like I said, beautiful.

Sensors , intercoolers, fog lights, IDK it doesn’t seem to well thought out?

If I would have read better I would have seen the vents for intercooler, but still wonder about airflow.

12K is a static load rating, so it is not comparable to a tow rating:
