2024+ come pre-wired for a trailer harness. The kit from Ford includes the hitch, control modual, and 7/4 pin trailer plug. Note that the kits are model year specific for 2024 and 2025.

Thanks for documenting this. I'm having the same/similar problem with my 2025 Badlands w/ B&O system.
My seems to happen more frequently when it's hot out, like after it's been sitting in the sun all day. And it's random what audio sources cut out.

Just saw a Ford Service Bulletin regarding Model Year specific Tow Kits:
"Some 2025 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a "procedure unsuccessful" message after running the towbar configuration application using Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. This may be due to the incorrect trailer...
I didn’t install a brake controller, don’t have a need for it.
Looks like the Ford has a part number for a 2025 Bronco compatible Brake controller kit: VM2DZ-2C006-A

Found this last night, I think “Key Detection Alert” is new for 2025. I can leave the truck running and close the door without the double honk.
(Prior years require Forscan to disable.)

Lights seem to work without any changes. It's the other towing features that need to enabled to work. (i.e. Sway Control, Trailer Lamp Check, etc. etc.)

Just recieved my 2025 Badlands last month. Went to buy a trailer hitch kit for it and the part # changed from the 2024 kit.
2025 Part number is: VS2DZ15A416C

Good summary photos, thank you.
Picked up my 2025 Eruption Green Baldlands Lux Leather last week. I really like the tan and bronze accent, looks great with the EG.

Just joined the EG club with a 2025 Badlands SAS.
No glamor shots yet as it's been raining/snowing/sleeting since I picked it up and haven't been able to wash it. First mod will be adding mud flaps....

That's funny.
Rear view mirrors have had a double ball joint for as long as I can remember. My 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass had one and I'm sure the design is way older than that.
Only the first segment was Bronco Final assembly. The rest is other OEMs (Nissan, Jeep, etc.) and is out of order for actually building a vehicle.
Final Assembly is very labor intensive. Body and Paint, not so much.
