Model Year 2026 (MY26) – Confirmed & Speculated Changes

[Krabby]

FWIW, scheduled a drop off in early Feb to fix my blowing hot when asking for full ac cold at Rusnak. Service tech told me IA is now having them replace a valve v replacing the entire hvac unit.

If this gets sorted and my front driveshaft does t blow and my diffs stay dry, I think I’m a pretty happy ‘24 camper all said and done. lol

Any idea which valve?

the vins represented in this forum is a random sampling of vehicles from the production fleet.

I expect the rate of occurrence to fully extrapolate out to the entire fleet

Or that the small proportion of those having issues seek out forums and social media to complain/look for solutions and over represent the total population.

No. Thats not an overwhelming factor. Look at the threads for complaining hvac. No one is a single issue poster.

Not sure how you translate what I said to it being a single issue poster. I'm saying that people that have problems gravitate to finding solutions or kibitzing with others having problems and those people may be disproportionately over represented on social media. Goes for anything, people not having problems tend to just go on with their lives.

I'm not saying there aren't issues, just saying it's hard to extrapolate things here to the general public.

We can analyze issues on a relative basis - All complaints being equal

Compared to engine blowing or front DS grenading, the hvac issue is significantly higher - effectively a happy path issue for owners on this forum and fb

I haven’t yet had the chance to stop by a dealership but I was called and informed that the MY26 models are now in the showrooms.

Does anybody already have pictures to share? Or has the final list of MY26 updates?

I don’t have any issues with my Grenadier, let alone egregious issues… Of the 11,500 Grenadiers on the road in North America, how many of them actually have egregious issues?

I have had mine since October 2023 and have 50,000 kms around 31,000 miles.
Zero issues of any kind
Everything works as advertised and it is a joy to drive

The article mentions that someone traded in an F40 for a Grenadier.

"The ubiquity is reflected in some of the dealer trade-ins Hembrough has encountered: a half-dozen Cybertrucks, some Rivian trucks, and even a Ferrari F40."

I call BULLSHIT on that. If it did actually happen the Grenadier buyer should be relegated to automotive purgatory for the rest of their days.

I think they would have traded the F40 on 40 Grenadiers

Aortic with my luck.
