Model Year 2026 (MY26) – Confirmed & Speculated Changes

[Tenac]

I love my 23 truck and am very happy to have a pre-ADAS model.

The only thing they could offer that might make me consider changing is a v8. Preferably a naturally aspirated one.

As long as I can turn off ADAS.

Time for a LS swap????

I do happen to have an LS in my shed actually

This is some kind of rumor. There are no problems with KO2s. Ineos has changed the standard spec tire to a much more appropriate Bridgestone variant, and is transitioning from KO2s to KO3s in step with BFG production.

Bridgestone have updated their Dueler A/T 001 to, surprising, Dueler A/T 002

They happen to make adapter plates for the ZF transmissions too.... lol Heck that motor looks smaller than the B58 as well

It’s pretty compact!

I love my Cummins R2.8 conversion I did on my C303. And people are now running tunes to put out a crap ton of power with the R2.8. ANNNND, people make ZF adapters!!!

Re the MY26 reduced turning radius/offset change - this would be more positive offset? Thus shifting more stress onto suspension/ bearings?
Or some other magic?

Not much said here. A reduction in turning circle, no noise from the power steering pump and improved HVAC (not quantified in any way). But if true they are all welcome changes.

So I wonder if the new steering pump is plug and play with the early model vehicles? And if so, how much is it to buy one...

Any comments on power steering noise with the 2026 model? Would be interesting to know if a new pump is being used and if it can be plumbed directly in as a replacement for the noisy early models

The noise really is ridiculous, it should not be accepted by any owners afflicted by this. I am going to bitch and moan until I get some action on it
