We do indeed have a Blue Ox Brand Base Plate that will fit your 2023 Ford Bronco With the OEM modular bumper. The part you are looking for is # BLU23XR. This is made specifically with the OEM modular bumper in mind and will undoubtedly be a good fit. You will have to do some trimming of the bumper fascia, and if you have tow hooks on the bumper, they will need to be permanently removed to make way for the base plate.

I have linked the installation instructions below if you want to take a look.

Mounting the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light #LIW-LDTL-7B on the roof of a vehicle is a very common location to mount these and would work great. This location would still be visible and also would still be in range of the transmitter as well.
