I know this has been beaten like a dead horse, but I really didn’t find the answer I was looking for. I am build a ground up Bronco using a GEN 2 coyote, 6R80 and electronic transfer case. I’m assuming a “builder” kit would be better than the “Bronco“ specific one? The Coyote has a stand alone harness and the Dakota Digital pull almost all of the data from the OBD2 port For gauges etc. What would be the best option for a body harness? Wiring doesn’t scare me and enjoy doing it.

Ford Touch Drive was marketing, not an actual transfer case model. It typically referred to the BW 1354 or 1356.
FYI. the shift motor includes an encoder to tell the PCM the shift position. without using the encoder feedback, the shift motor will crash. the electronics to make it work correctly might be challenging.

Kincer, velocity, high line all use this case.

I'm not trying to argue with you, transfer cases are my business. I've seen builders struggle with electronic cases, just trying to give you a heads-up that the "harness" that you requested input on will need to be special to incorporate an electronically shifted transfer case.
FYI, BW cases can come in electronic and manually shifted versions of the same model number

I’m not arguing either. My question was on the main body harness. Seems like a waste to get a predone harness if most of the under dash stuff won’t be used. Vintage air is a stand alone system also. I have the kincer controller for the transfer case.

I opted for AAW Highway 22 plus on my '56 F100 coyote swap rather than a specific one for the same reasons you've identified. I have not installed it yet so I can't give you an opinion on the product itself.

I used this harness on a FJ40 Landcruiser with an LS. They made no specific kit for a LC, and the owner wanted a fuse panel that was friendly to the environments he took the rig to, and it was not going to fit in the glove box.
(Talk about a pain trying to locate some Toyota connectors... He had a partial factory harness for it.)
You can always go to a passenger style fuse panel, it is more open, but like the factory Bronco harness, maybe you can find a good spot for it.

I did a search on AAW for their universal harnesses...

Thank you for the responses. I will call AAW and see what they recommend.
