Just an observation, I’ve noticed an obvious uptick in Wildtraks going up for sale on cargurus and other sites ever since the order guide came out and HOSS 3.0 became officially standard for 2023. Wonder if it’s just coincidence…
My dealer also told me last week when I questioned them about COVP that there wasn’t going to be a COVP program on the Bronco, and there was no need for me to do that.
Thanks for the pics. Did you have to re drill holes for the end caps on the steps to mount back to? Also, are the rear flaps as close to the tires as they look, or is it just an optical allusion? I’m wanting to do 37’s and a 2-3” lift with Rokblokz.
I can’t stand the plastic rear bumper. I cannot for the life of me understand why Ford puts it on a top level trim. I’d even be fine with it being an a la cart option like Jeep does with a lot of their options. I am going to try to find a take off oem steel rear bumper as I like how it looks...
Yup, just found this on bring a trailer to confirm what I thought. Ford isn’t putting any steel rear bumpers on any form of Wildtrak even on the HOSS with the capable bumper.

Interesting… I guess every HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak I’ve seen on the forums has had the modular front bumper optioned. I’ve been keeping an eye out for the steel rear bumper, but they’ve all had the plastic one. That is confusing to me that they delete the steel bumper that is included with HOSS if you...
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I REALLY wish Ford would put the steel rear bumper on the Wildtrak for 2023 like they show in all the HOSS 3.0 press photos
I also added HOSS in March. Still waiting though. I personally believe Ford made it an option for Wildtrak in March to see what the “take rate” would be from reservationists, then decide whether to make it standard or not. Another theory is they made it optional for 6 months to give the Wildtrak...
I’m confused as to why people are upset that their Bronco was just built without Hoss 3.0 and now Ford is making it standard on the wildtrak. Why did these people not add it to their order back in March when Hoss 3.0 was released if they wanted it? We all know the price will increase accordingly...
