Ford Factory Hitch & Yakima Cargo Basket Installed

[gdmbk]

We drove from the Texas hill country to Santa Fe NM yesterday and I didn’t notice any wind noise really.

Follow up - I can see now from the photos that your basket is smaller than the one I have on. Is yours the OffGrid?

Unfortunately yes, but with good cutting wheel, utility knife and a steady hand its not noticeable.

Can you show us how your bumper looks now? Thank you!

12 hour turn time from order to pickup. Your local Ford dealer should be able to order factory accessories from SWFAD and have them next day.

Who or what is SWFAD ?

I’ve had several trucks in the past that were white and black like your base model. It’s always been my 1st choice in color in the hot Florida climate.
I got the Shadow black base model in December 2020 mainly because it was a $26,000 off the lot purchase and the very first Bronco sport in Cherokee county. There was no color or package choices for a month after that. Actually I had the only BS.
If I had choices I would have gotten white.
I like the black, It’s my first black but still it shows rock chips and dirt. That’s black. I’ve only got two small paint chips and have the touch up pin, not worried. I’ll touch it up this coming spring.
Yours looks great, I added the lower priced mud flaps,
You need those..
They work well.
The red tow hitch, fantastic touch.

Where did you get the Shackle Hitch Receiver unit?
Is the Receiver opening 1-1/4 inch wide?

Any chance you can do a write up on removing the bumper?

That answers the question of the recovery point “not there” on BS with OEM hitch .
Tho, I guess the pin went the way of the engine cover for the 1.5 anyway. Cause it isn’t there even tho I saw it in fords description.

this makes me want to get the hitch added now. I had on in my OB, but my new BL I traded for doesn’t.

Are ther cutout instructions or a template?

great looking BS...I pick my Badlands up tomorrow...it arrived at dealer this weekend. One question...do you, or anyone on this thread, know if the tow hitch height for the Curt hitch is the same as the OEM hitch? I will have hitch installed and want to make sure height is same if I have to go with the Curt.
