Hello Charles,
Thanks for finally finding a reason to write into us! I see you've been a faithful etrailer neighbor since 2017.
It looks like you're no stranger to flat towing, just setting up a new ride. For your 2025 Ford Bronco Heritage with the factory Capable Steel Bumper, you need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms # BLU23XR.
The Capable Steel Bumper is different from Ford's Heavy Duty Modular Bumper, but Blue Ox designed the # BLU23XR to fit the factory steel bumper with D-rings, so it is the correct base plate for your Bronco. I attached an image so you can see where they will install.
What other flat tow products are you trying to swap over? I am happy to see what reinstall kits are available.

I have a CMC Canyon AT4 which I flat tow behind my rig. The Blue ox plate and the Roadmaster wire kit worked awesome for me. I had to remove the whole front cap assembly to have access to the front frame which took a while, the cool thing is e-trailer had a video I was able to watch for my specific truck, made it easy! It also paired well with the wire kit so the whole install took about 4 to 6 hours??
