So it looks like the list of 2024 additions is growing: better steering rack from the HOSS 3.0 system, larger display (12 inch), rear seat console with drink holders (4 door), and the pullout tailgate. I ordered the pullout tailgate for my 2023 thinking that I had to have it. I went to pick it up at the dealer yesterday and was underwhelmed. For $1.1 - 1.3k (depending on the Ford accessory sales) it seems overpriced for what it is. The main deck piece also seems like it would have a good amount of flex in it... eventually sagging and rubbing the pullout piece below. Can anyone talk me back into this pricey upgrade? Anyone with first hand experience? I'm inclined to deploy the $$$ on other items.
That accessory isn’t calling my name so I can’t talk you into that cost.

How many of you have run one of these through a touchless car wash? I will probably just hand spray it during the winter, but I’m just curious if anybody has done it and if there’s any leaks or anything.
I have been through my local car wash several times mainly to spray the underside. I have had no leaks and the Bronco looks clean and gets pretty dry. I do wipe off the wheel on the spare but otherwise it gets pretty clean.

I have a few times. Only issue is I lost the pipe cap around the middle of the spare tire cover. I just remember to take it off first. No leaks at all. No brush wash for me, especially with a black Bronco!

First time through I took off my spare tire cover but this last time I completely forgot about it and I'm please to say that the tire cover and my 3D printed "grommet" both came out the other side completely unscathed!

Installed RC e-board electric steps and Stickerfab clear PPF on the lower doors, hood leading edge, and behind the door handles.

I'm not usually a big fan of RC stuff, but I like the RC steps, especially the price compared to Go-Rhino or AMPs. I am curious to see how well they hold up over time, since, ya know, they're an RC product...

Looks good! Pretty tight when the boards are up

Yeah, I like that they hide the pinch welds better than the OEM steps and I think it ties the flares together a little too.
Since they are lower and further out when deployed, they make it a little easier to get in, but they make it a lot easier for getting out.

Looks great! How was the PPF to put on? Also wondering how noticeable it is when just putting it on leading edge of hood vs the rest of the hood.

Thanks. It wasn't too terrible... I've definitely gotten better at applying protection with all the years of putting it on my phone screens. It also helps to not be a perfectionist with it. I think it looks perfect from 5ft away and pretty good up close.
I followed the instruction videos and used their application fluid, which helped. A heat gun was also useful.
If you zoom in on the photo of the front or get up close in person, you can tell where the line is, but from 5ft away, it blends in pretty well.

BigFootie, when do I need to purchase it? And how long would you recommend it?
You can purchase it anytime after you buy you vehicle. It doesn’t take effect until after 36k miles or 36 months. You can purchase it up to that time but it’s much less expensive the earlier you buy it.

As for how long, depends on how many miles you put on per year and how long you plan to keep it. They have a chart that shows the cost per mile that might help you decide. You can get a warranty up to 120 months (10 years). Look at their website from the link I posted or give them a call. They are very low pressure, they won’t hound you to make a purchase.

Found something interesting on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts VIN lookup for my HE VIN:

Ford Bronco HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club 1705501325312


I dont believe that this is true on the 4-door unless something has changed.

I've got a 2 door so I can't help you on the pull out shelf and already have cup holders that will never get used! I would like the Hoss 3 though!
