What is this mounted on my brand new 2024?

My 2021 didn't have this...
Definitely not the actual tow hitch
Sticking out right here under my rear bumper

It's part of the tow package preparation kit that's now standard on all Broncos.

The tow package was previously installed at the factory. Now it's installed by the dealership (or you in your driveway), but to make it slightly easier for dealers they added a tow prep kit. If you look there is a wiring harness sitting there by that bracket.

Noticed that as well...
Is that part actually used with the hitch or is it just to protect the harness?
Also noticed the plug hiding in there.

Protects the harness. You have to remove that piece when installing the actual hitch.
