A sutruckan!!!
Kinda like Suvans... my buddy's nickname for most SUVs on the market these days. Basically family minivans disguised as SUVs.
But hey... I mean... can't blame automobile manufacturers. #1 sellers these days are 4-door pickups and crossover SUVs like the CR-V, RAV4, etc. Can't...
I suspect Tickle My Bronco is just another side business of RPI Designs... which has had an extremely mixed reputation in the Corvette world. The Corvette community did some digging and found a handful of associated companies... Big Worm Graphix, Madison Motor Parts, Southern Car Parts, etc...
Agreed, the BX series is really good. I don't use it in the cargo area, but on top of my roof rack. Again, not theft proof but deters the impulse grabs.
Cases are pricey though.
Ya know....
Maybe the 3.0L in the 2027 F-150 is in-fact the new 3.0L.
They did kinda do a "silent upgrade" of the 1.5L / 2.0L / 2.3L last year across the lineup. So I wonder if this is just a similar silent upgrade of the 3.0L.
In which case this all makes a lot more sense, and I assume 2.7L...
I imagine some of the trims on the Explorer that currently have the 3.0L will get the 2.7L instead (Tremor, for example).
On paper in a vacuum I would expect the 2.7L to stick around longer than the 3.0L to be honest. 2.7L is dual injection, slightly newer design, probably the most reliable...
Could go one of two ways:
They're dropping 2.7L completely.
They're dropping the 2.7L just from the F-150 because of the Silverado, along with Ranger/Bronco demand.
I'm guessing it's the latter, probably largely in response to the new generation Silverado in 2027. They have a new 5.7L V8...
I typically do one big trip over the summer and multiple weekend trips in the fall/winter as time & weather permits. (Spring is usually off-limits due to kids' sports.)
This year the big trip was impacted by the Canadian wildfires and ultimately didn't happen. So... haven't actually gone...
Gaia GPS is my favorite.
OnX Offroad is good for off-roading in particular, but the fact that they separate their off-roading application and their hiking/biking/skiing application (OnX Backcountry) into separate application really kills it for me.
2026 order banks are still open, and they're still actively scheduling 2026 Broncos—currently through the month of September.
They have not yet announced when the 2026 order banks will close, but all signs right now are pointing to sometime this fall.
Edit: If you want a Heritage, may want to...
It's a rear fog light—basically a chase light. Required in certain markets where the Bronco is sold.
Not required in North America, so it's not included in the American-spec Bronco, and therefore feature is disabled.
If you enable it you also need a new light switch panel and some wiring to...
Two belts.
One for the alternator (stretch belt), another one for just about everything else.
(Btw, you posted this on the 2.3L section instead 2.7L section.)
Oh yeah I get it. And if you look at their inspiration photo... it is definitely more pink than anything else.
Just when I think of my time personally around Salt Lake and in & around areas near Coral Pink Sand Dunes area, I think of something more like this near sunset/sunrise. Still very...
