I actually had the Sherpa 2.0 prior to the Piston Pro. It's an excellent rack! However, it does block the camera. The Sherpa is so damn light that its crazy easy to take on and off if you're fine with that and want it out of the way from your camera.

There is a setting that allows you to turn off the rear sensor. I sure would appreciate an image of the backup camera screen, with the Pivot/NV installed. If its manageable, I certainly would prefer that setup for the added clearance. Some of the trailheads I like to go to are down rough roads...
The Pivot and the Hilo extend the same length; however, the pivot cannot be flipped in the low position, so It ends up blocking your backup camera. If the camera wasn't an issue, I would have probably gone with a Yakima hold up and backswing. That holdup is nice and compact, looks tight and rugged.

This one is ridiculously pricey, but it works well with the Bronco. I ride 3-4 times a week, so my rack stays on at all times and needs to be super convenient.
With the Kuat HiLo attachment and folded in the stowed position, your camera view isn't blocked

I'd love a hardtop but not at that price. Hell no!!! I'm also happier than I thought I'd be with the soft top. It's extremely functional; not that loud, cake to open/close and you don't have to worry if you end up in an unexpected downpour.
This weekend I actually got 15.7 MPG's @ 75MPH; it's possible there is a break in period, as one of the other members previously stated. Also, I have no idea all the details behind it, so I don't want to speculate, but there have been rumors of 2.7 reliability issues. I'll also add that the 2.3...
It cracks me up that people don't realize that losing 4MPG equates to about 6k each year, if you're filling up 1 time per week. Thats 30k the span of a 5 yr note.
You're probably one of those guys who also spent 40k over MSRP on your Bronco. Carry on!
LMAO..... I drive like a bat at a hell. My 4runner and previous jeep wrangler, all "bricks", averaged 15-16 MPG @ the posted HWY speed of 75MPH. Getting frustrated @ 13.5 MPG while utilizing my best hwy fuel saving manners is understandably frustrating. Give me at least 15-16 when I don't give...
At 75mph and above, in flat North Texas, I'm getting 13.5 MPG in normal mode .. ECO mode doesn't offer much help. Maybe 14 MPG

It's absolutely garbage @ HWY speeds. Really pisses me off!!! I wish I would have purchased the 2.7l.. The 2.3 offers plenty of power...
