Installed OEM Tow Wiring Harness

2022 Big Bend
Part # FT1Z15A416A
I’ll try and keep this short, no need for a full write up. I used the installation Manual provided by @bjbena for each and every step.

First, this is definitely a doozy. Unless you’re confident with wiring I would not recommend diy-ing this. The wires are 20 or 22 gauge (I’m not positive) and very prone to damaging. So unless your an idiot like me and…

’25 BS Badlands Sasquatch – want to remove bull bar and replace with stock D-ring recovery hooks (like on the rear end).

Or a Badlands non-Sasquatch front end. Does anyone know the part number for the D-ring recovery hooks? I haven’t been able to find the part number.

Thanks in advance!

I’m thinking about changing the stock battery to a AGM type battery

All these battery issues (especially in the 1.5L) have me thinking about going to an AGM battery before possible issues. No guarantee the issue won’t happen with an AGM battery but it seems virtually no issues with the AGM. It’s a terrible feeling knowing the issues the stock battery has in many cases here.
I’m taking a 1500 round mile trip at the end of the month and I would hate to possibly have an issue on the road. Anyone change to an AGM without having a battery issue?
I’ll add that…

What gives? Bad battery leads to new discovery

2023 OuterBanks 1.5L. Has 38K miles. Just got home from a 520 mile roadtrip. 2 days later, deader than a doornail. Jumped it and started right up. Hooked up my scan tool and was at 11.59 volts. Decided to pull the battery for replacement and was surprised to see a Enhanced Flooded Battery. I was under the impression it would be an AGM due to the auto stop start. Decided I would replace it with an AGM and use Forscan to change the battery type and reset the BMS. Low and behold, the battery…

Transmission issues – any suggestions?

So I started having issues with my 2022 Bronco Sport OB, after only having it for 10K miles (91K total).
• Transmission takes time to shift into reverse (R light on dial blinks and then it jolts into gear).
• When slowing down in Normal drive mode, it has a large jolt when it reaches 25 mph. In Sport mode, that jolt is at 45mph.
• Engine luggs at 1200 or less RPM (Normal drive mode) when driving through parking lots or at low speed in town. I have to drive in Sport mode in town to prevent…

Front bumper bull guard / nudge bar?

Has anyone found a front bull guard/ nudge bar, or modified the bumper to install one? Have a 2025 sport big bend, it has a steel plate with nowhere to mount it.
