I did call ford and ask about this and they informed me that a single hook cost around 200+ and I'm not sure I'm willing to spend that much on just one hook

Try and find a take off... Most of the nudge bars require them to be removed

That might not be a bad idea I definitely like the look of the bs with the nudge bar

Ford bronco lift has a nudge bar with optional recovery points if that helps

Is that a website I can't seem to find it with a google search?

True you can bolt them on any trim model. But only the Badlands has the support bracket welded to the frame which is needed for strength if you need them to be functional. But if you just want the look yes they bolt on.

Here’s the recovery point on the back of my badlands

I would be careful yanking too hard on anything mounted to a unibody, just imagine the damage done by someone in a F250 with a tow chain, parts are coming loose or coming off. As much as I like these bronco sports their not meant to be buried up to the doors, there's a lot of suction in deep mud trying to pull a truck out.

Yes that makes sense I understand the capability of the bronco sport if it's even in a situation like that you know someone messed up. I'm more interested in having some type of point for a minor situation where you just need a small tug or a little helping hand.

Yea, I've been there before, made many dumb decisions off-roading.

Stay away from chains, or even snatch straps. Stick with kinetic ropes.

I think your best bet will be to install a tow hitch on the back. The factory tow hooks are not going to do you much good unless you also have the bracketry welded to the unibody frame on the Badlands.

Give it time and I believe an enterprising vendor will come up with an aftermarket solution for front mounted recovery options. I think there's demand for a winch mount that will fit the Bronco Sport, and anything that can serve as mount for a winch will work fine for a recovery point as well.

Yeah I think your i can't imagine that some other company won't come up with a way to add the front hooks

Here's possibly a solution.

A nudge bar install can be a tow point since it's bolted to the frame ?.

Just a thought?
