Hey B6G!

My name is Dana and I shoot and edit all of the video content for MRT. After spending years in the passenger seat of several Broncos, I finally have a Bronco to call my own. Meet Ketchup The Bronco: 2026 Big Bend in Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat

Why Ketchup? Well, the Bronco is red…. and I feel like I am playing catch-up with all the Bronco owners I know who have already made their rig their own.

I plan on using this thread to share my journey customizing this 26 Big Bend. Not surprisingly, I installed an MRT Trail Rated exhaust before even clocking 200 miles on the vehicle. Of course, being here at MRT, I had several different options and sound profiles to choose from. I could have gone rowdy with a King Of The Hill system or chosen MRT’s newest Elite Series Muffler, which provides an elevated exhaust note that has manners when cruising but demonstrates a performance sound under wide open throttle. I wanted to have a decent amount of attitude without being too refined, leading me to choose the Trail Rated axle back.

I have always been a fan of the Trail Rated system and always suggest it to people curious about exhausts for their Bronco. After a week daily-driving with the exhaust I am happy to say I have 0 regrets. Every time I start up the vehicle, I get a big smile and find myself scooting around town in Sport mode having a riot. In Normal and Eco modes under light throttle the exhaust stays reserved but you can still hear as you climb through the RPMs. Plus I love the added benefit of the extra clearance that the Trail Rated axle back gives you over the big bulky stock muffler. I have included some sound clips in different G.O.A.T. modes.





I have a list of mods I would like to showcase as time goes on, but would love to hear what mods the B6G community would suggest! I plan on doing everything from minor appearance to suspension to-who knows what else. I also want to use this thread as a place for new Bronco owners to ask their questions about mods as well.

I have some more goodies for the Bronco on the way. Stay tuned and let me know what mods I should put on the to-do list!
