I have the RC nudge bar I think it looks good, but I have an OB so no tow hooks. I do have co-pilot 360+ and I have 4 4” square pod lights with no interference with the sensors. The bar is adjustable, slightly and I haven’t found a position that does interfere with anything, despite the warning from RC.

I also have the RC light bar with moonroof, I would say where I mounted mine the moonroof gently brushes it while opening, not a huge deal until it starts wearing, it also creates a lot of road noise, so I've closed the cover which dampens it significantly, so I basically don’t have a moonroof with it.

That is my feedback so far.

I need the best recommended 2" hitch because it came without one?
In terms of being out-of-the-way (preserving departure angle), and preserving the most of factory structural materials (some advise deletion of rear bumper internals), the Curt #13474 seems to be the winner here.

I have not personally pulled-the-trigger on one yet, hoping Ford might offer a retrofit kit in early 2022 since they had to defer/cancel builds from the factory with the 53B+ kit.

Are you happy with your roof light bar? Where did you locate your toggle switch for it?
The Rigid/Ford co-branded front-roof light-bar ties into the Badlands wiring harness in the driver's A-Pillar and driver's-left-underdash harness.

Not personally installed one, but instructions are gory-detail level.
