thanks I guess I need to actually read the 500 page manual.

Yes, It’s in the head unit you can totally turn it off. In the settings

I have searched this forum but maybe for the wrong thing. Is there any way to turn off the check rear seats or whatever warning when you turn the Bronco off?

Interesting! One obvious use of the Rear Occupent Alert is to prevent the tragic cases of children and dogs who die in hot cars. But according to this, if you let your dog jump into the back from the front seat, the system doesn't work. Note also instructions for disabling. p137 Owner's Manual

So on a lighter note now that I am part of the purgatory team I decided to create a Bronco Purgatory shrine in my basement office. Please excuse the spackle we are going to paint this week and I couldn't wait to get the shrine up and running so I could please the Bronco Gods sooner rather than later

The Bronco Gods must have liked something. I just checked the Pizza tracker and it looks like I moved from Built into shipping in the last hour or so

Did my first “Road Trip” in the Warthog (naming my bronco this since Ford didn’t use it & my fondness of Halo)

~130 Miles / 95% Interstate driving:

•I got around 20 MPG. Average speed was 75 mph. I only use the Adaptive Cruise Control. I will not drive distance without it.

•it handles the road excellently. Really impressed with how it drives. Very much like
My F-150 which I loved driving. Road noise isn’t an issue at all with my
Soft-top. It’s there above 60mph depending on the cross-wind but only a few decibels higher than my F-150 was at same speeds. Doesn’t affect conversations between my wife in the passenger seat & my 2YO in the back.

•Seats are extremely comfortable. Huge upgrade from my F-150 cloth seats.

•Love the B&O sound system. I’ve never had a good audio system in a vehicle before & am no audiophile but it’s the best I’ve personally experienced.

•Haven't thrown any rocks from my highway driving. However as soon as I hit some gravel roads it started slinging away. Running boards have absorbed all of those rocks so far. I also installed the lower body trail armor yesterday for additional protection and to cover up those ugly pinch welds.

Still in love. My wife also loves it to my surprise. My son has informed me that “it’s not Daddy’s Bronco, it’s my Big Green Bronco.”

Love it. I had a friend in college who was also a big Halo fan. He drove a humongous old Econoline that he called “The Elephant”

Good question. Makes me think of ZombieLand Movie.

I meant for just general knowledge not this specific issue. I’m a manual reader. I like to know all the stuff but this one is a little daunting.

No you don’t, just go in the settings. It’s right there

We sold our Impreza today, which puts us down to one car until I can bring Hank the Tank home after mods. Our dealer has been fantastic, and offered us a loaner until Hank's ready. We stopped by driving in my current baby (2010 Kia Forte Koup, still beautiful and running strong!) and I had to snap some pics of both my children while they were there. I spent half an hour "Ooooh"-ing and "Ahhhh"-ing over Hank, and gave my dealer permission to put him up in their spotlight ramp until the auto shop picks him up Monday. My dealer said, "I may regret that - we're going to end up really busy with people calling about your Bronco up front". All in all, a good time was had today.

Update: The loaner my dealer gave us was a green Edge. He said we had to have *something* green for now!
He's been such a good sport lol.

thanks for the write up, one question, "lower body trail armor " are you saying skid plate, or rock plates in addition to the tube sides? just trying to get an understanding. thanks

Believe this is what he meant

Same. Was I sitting in the car in my bathrobe drinking coffee reading the manual and playing with the settings the day after I picked it up? I feel safe here that y’all won’t judge me.
