Looking Ahead to 2026 — What’s the ONE Bronco Product You Wish Existed?

[Mabett]

Hey Bronco6G,

This is Ryan from Mabett.

Over time, we’ve had a lot of great conversations with members here, and many of our product ideas have been shaped by feedback from this community. As we start planning ahead, we wanted to open things up and ask a simple but important question.

Looking toward 2026 — if you could choose ONE product you wish existed for your Bronco, what would it be?

This isn’t about announcing a new product or pushing sales. We’re genuinely trying to understand:

• What problems you still haven’t found a solid solution for

• What you’ve had to DIY because nothing on the market quite works

• What you feel aftermarket (or even OEM) still gets wrong

It could be interior or exterior, daily-driven or off-road focused, simple or complex — all ideas are welcome.

To help get thoughts flowing (just examples, not hints):

• Storage or protection solutions that actually hold up to real-world use

• Modular upgrades that don’t require permanent modification

• Products designed around how Broncos are actually used

We can’t promise to build everything mentioned here, but we do take input from this community seriously when planning future development.

For ideas that move forward into development, the members behind those suggestions will be invited to participate in early-stage prototype or sample testing, so they can provide real-world feedback before a product is finalized.

If there’s one thing you’ve always thought: “Why doesn’t anyone make this yet?” We’d really like to hear it.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

slide out tailgate for a 2 door

Not specifically Bronco but... Rack lights that can be controlled by a remote or phone. Should be able to adjust brightness, color (white, amber, red) without having to get out of my camp chair.

Manual V8 swaps, my two door needs a V8

Support for accessories on the standard plastic bumper. Steel bumper will likely come at some point in time, but until then options would be nice.

This is exactly what we’re aiming for. Our previous products fell short of our expectations, so we’re looking for a better solution.

Love this suggestion — it is exactly the kind of quality-of-life improvement that often gets overlooked.

Love V8, but this is beyond our capabilities.

This is a really interesting point. Most aftermarket options assume a steel bumper, but a lot of owners are still running the OEM plastic one.

What types of accessories would you like to see supported most — lights, recovery points, or something else? Knowing this helps us think about compatibility and modular solutions that could work across trims.

A larger under the cargo floor storage box that won't break the bank.

For me, I think something that adds some performance rather than just looks. Lights would be one, I believe I have seen a single light bar that can be fit. Another would be some sort of bull bar/grille protector. For the sake of LOOKS, it probably wouldn't be too hard to rig something up. Something a little more robust though in case something like a deer thinks both he and my brakes are faster than they really are are what I'd want. I'm not sure how you'd go about mounting something like that though, so that's probably more of a pipe dream.

Recovery points? Meh, it's got some. They don't look great, but are functional and that's what's important.

All of that said, if I am being honest, cosmetic stuff's probably going to sell more than functional things for the stock bumper.

I never said that he went off-topic in the post.

I completely agree with you. Currently, our product line doesn’t include any performance-related items—most of our products are interior and decorative parts. This will be our new direction.

Something like a light solution could be both. While I'd want performance, I wouldn't want to have it look like crap when I was done lol

I'll add to my original want: two-door focused products. Not sure the market there will be huge either haha
