Got the email saying my bronco was at the dealership. So I drove up after work to check it out. As I was inspecting it I noticed this strange piece of plastic hanging down near the rear wheel well. I’ve never seen it before on another bronco so I’m wondering if this comes on all broncos and I’ve never noticed or is mine special ?
* like an idiot I did not look to see if it was on the other side

Without seeing a frontal view is it an air deflector to improve the mpg x .00001%?

It’s a plastic splash shield, you’re seeing it from the side. If you had running boards or sliders it wouldn’t be as noticeable.

Ok. Thanks. Not feeling so special anymore. It’s weird how I never noticed them before. They look like they were put there on purpose while looking like they don’t belong there at the same time. Very strange

My 21 doesn't have it, so maybe they are a newer model thing.

DO NOT DRIVE IT. That could be dangerous. I’ll buy it instead to save you the trouble.

Add that to my theory of the Heritage/Everglades squared fenders reducing air turbulence for increased efficiency 🤪

You bought the correct amount of doors and the proper color. Congrats.
