Updated 11/17/2025 | Published 12/27/2024
Question:
I have a breakaway switch Im trying to mount to a 2023 Ford Bronco 2dr Badlands. The bumper pics attached does not offer an ideal location and I wondered if folks at etrailer had worked on this situation with a customer and come up with a recommendation. Please advise. Thanks

Hey Mike, while we don't have a specific experience we've had with your vehicle I would go with mounting the switch in one of the two cut outs in the center of the bumper. Or for an easier to install location you could go just to the very bottom of the bumper.

Hey Mike, how did the breakaway switch placement on your Bronco turn out? Did one of those bumper cutouts or the lower spot end up working better for you? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar tow system.
