@BigMeatsBronco @Bmadda What do y'all think about this? Do y'all know if the HD rack works in a 4dr non-Sas?
We know it works, but we don't know if the procal supports it. Worst case you would have to do it the way we were doing it before procal. @Snacktime and @zuke are both non-sas 4dr I believe, and they did successful swaps in the very early days of Hoss 3.0

The old way works with all trims, you have to use a VIN from a 2023 Wildtrak when HOSS 3.0 was an added option.

So any 2024 is good to go? Or they just haven’t updated the listing?
I haven't tried to program a 2024, but hit me up when I come over to pick up the tires and we can easily find out. Just let me know if you want to try a rack I programmed earlier and that should answer the question.

My 2022 Wildtrak Hoss 3.0 VIN donor seems to work for all the racks I programmed.

Don’t be teasing me with your badass rack 🤣.
But seriously that’s a good plan. Thanks!

The racks work on any Bronco. The programming is the key. You might want to hit up mpeugeot with what that will require for your specific setup so you know more than the Ford dealership you'll take it to.
That makes sense. I can't think of any mechanical reason it wouldn't work in any Bronco. Just Ford doesn't want to take the time to figure out the software.

Update: I installed the FP severe steering rack, it drove like shh, obviously. I took it in to my local ford dealer "sunrise ford" in Fontana, CA. They weren't competent enough to figure out the program. Another thread recommended I try ford in North hills, CA. I called them. They recommended me to G.A.S the famous galpin auto sports. I called them and......I explained to them the situation. The service advisor knew EXACTLY what I was talking about and what had to be done. From programming the new steering rack to a new VIN and then using the ford procal tool to finish it off. I have an appt Friday. So I'll update once it's all complete!

According to my conversations with ford engineer the programing from procal needs to be downloaded to bronco before removing old rack…have tune loaded into bronco and rack download in procal…will download rack program into bronco Wednesday before I plan to do the rack install…wish me luck

Any updates on this? I performed the swap and programming myself on my 2021 Badlands non-Sasquatch using the VIN programming method. I have no issues or lights, however, I have not been impressed with the added power the 3.0 was supposed to give. I don’t recognize any increase in power when in slow technical offroad situations. The reason I upgraded is because I was tired of the 2.0 losing all assist in those situations. It seems the 3.0 doesn’t do any better. I don’t know if there is still some issue from needing to program in this roundabout way or if I just expected too much. For reference, I’m running 37ā€ KM3s. The 3.0 internals were installed in Vasher’s Rock Rack housing.

Has anyone else gone through the upgrade and what is your opinion of the performance after doing so?
Thanks!

If you stall out a Hoss 2.0 you will easily stall out a Hoss 3.0. 30% more power doesn't really help. How much offset are you running? And what kind of trails?

True. Running the Badlands upgraded wheels (+55) and two inch spacers. If I’m doing the math right, that’s somewhere around a +4mm offset.

I noticed the issue again yesterday on a snowy/icy trail that I was stuck on. Just trying to turn uphill while not moving. Running around 12 psi tire pressure. To your point, it probably is just the way it is, but I was hoping for more. I never broke the previous rack, just wanted more power. Thanks for the reply!
