2026 Bronco changes?

[Fordified1]

Having a rear power window that drops down into the tailgate as well as a tailgate that drops down rather than swings to the side would be killer.

One could drive with the rear window down as well as the tailgate down. They really blew an opportunity with that. Would seriously think of getting another if that was a new design feature.

Where would you put the spare? For what it’s worth. I drive with the rear window lifted often, especially when the doors and/or front roof panels are off. Though not on the interstate.

Haven't any of you guys ever heard of RainX? I can't even remember the last time I had to use wipers.....

I guess the turn signal is too hard to operate also? Your hand is right there on the wheel right next to it for goodness sake. No need to look for it. Had auto wipers on a BMW that worked great and would smear bugs without asking me in a sprinkle. don’t miss it even a little bit.

If you were driving its your fault as a good driver would have seen the bugs and avoided them....geezzz.....
Guess maybe they should add a bug avoidance system to the self driving or adaptive CC function to fix this issue. I use a squirt of free and clear septic safe dish soap to a gallon filled with distilled water and a cup of distilled vinegar which works better for me than the store bought window washer stuff for keeping the bugs cleared.

I do the same thing. Squirt of ivory liquid and some white vinegar. Except for winter, then it’s the blue stuff.

Ok, to get some of the heat off the OP and probably on me…. I wish my Bronco had air conditioned seats. Our 2015 Mustang convertible has them and they are great, especially with the top down, here in Texas anyway.
I would gladly trade my electronically shifted transfer case, and electric parking brake for a manual TC, parking brake lever and air conditioned seats lol. (Manual TC because I flat tow).

It would just be on a swing-out carrier. That's what Ford did for the Bronco back in the day when you ordered it with the spare tire carrier option. (Without that option it would just be stored in the cargo area.)

In the winter i use a bit of isopropol, <spelling> alcohol maybe an 8oz bottle in the gallon instead of vinegar. .....or none since i'm not in an area that has more than a couple of days around freezing at night. Always add it if going to the high country

My oj Bronco came with the tire carrier like that. If kept in the Bronco on a hot day the car reeked of rubber.

I don't trust the electronic brake.

Because it is a basic function that soon all motor vehicles will come with as standard just as heaters and AC eventually did.
What other items or changes would you like to see in the Bronco? Start a thread to discus what you would like to see added

Ejector seats.

 

[bf4445]

Ejector seats.

ha ha....oh yeah, Thats a got to have. OK, rain sensing wipers can go if replaced by passenger ejection seat with a warning label for the occupant

Aside from the announced 60th anniversary models is there any other intel on the 2026 Bronco models? New trims, colors, features, anything, I'll there still be a Heritage Edition model with some new colors?

Based on the 60th Anniversary package, we can assume the 2026's will get grab handles on the A-Pillars, otherwise I don't think any major changes are expected. Heritage Limited Editions were the ones getting exclusive paint colors (though they later added Robin's Egg to the standard Heritage Edition) that trim is done for 2026 as far as I'm aware so I wouldn't expect any more specialty colors, aside from Wimbledon White on the 60th Anniversary Edition. Possibly getting Orange Fury as a paint color based on Bronco Sport sightings.
