Anybody know, does the full size Bronco use a hydraulic assist rack? Is is it electric over mechanical? I see that the Sport models (the smaller ones) appear to only use an electric drive input like most small cars these days.
Just wondering, my 2019 Chevy 1500 work truck has a one piece electric rack, so was wondering if they integrated something similar into the Bronco.

the f-150 has had full electric since 2011 I think (mine is and it's a 2013)
I’d guess electric since that’s what they’ve been using in the F150 for 10 years
It sounds like, I’m addition to the “severe duty” steering rack and tie rods, Ford performance is rolling out a “front drive unit” (I assume that means a differential) capable of accepting up to 5.38 gears.
They are also rolling out a performance tune for the 4 cylinder.

For the curious but lazy among us
I caught a podcast last night where Drew Peroni talked about his steering breakage. One important thing to note is, that because the Bronco uses an electric steering rack, a replacement needs to be calibrated after install. In short, it doesn’t sound like trail fixes of the steering rack are a possibility.

This is exactly why I was asking about the steering rack previously being electric or hydraulic. I think due to the electronics, it’ll put a major damper on any aftermarket companies producing anything anytime soon. I also know though that a lot of the small electric units used in small cars can be bypassed to run in a fail safe mode that will give you full turning speed at all times, so I wonder if such a bypass could be used here too.
That could be the case with the bronco as well. The calibration might be necessary for things like lane assist, and not so much for the steering function itself. 🤷🏻♂️

That graphic and the grille really make the truck. He's selling that graphic kit for $1,850.
