What's your most under-used feature?

Most underutilized feature ?

My back seat. I threw it in a dumpster.

Trail cruise control is reallllllllllly nice between features

This has been my least used feature as well. Now that I’ve done Off-Roadeo a couple of weeks back, I may use more often on steep declines.

I like that many of these tech features are there, but I think navigating the challenges while off-road is part of the fun. Of course, there are many a damaged rig from guys screwing up and costing a ton to fix. Some say that’s part of the fun as well, but I’m not rich, so no.

One of the Bronco's curiosities: why doesn't the two-door have this? I probably wouldn't use it, but it struck me as strange that this most generic thing would be model-specific.

We 2 Door owners drank our beers proper; outta can.

No fancy glasses and sniffers for us!

I really appreciate the airbags being less sensitive than they are for normal on road driving, and ABS/Traction control being OFF OFF with the driving modes. But that cruise control is great. If you like normal cruise control it only makes sense you’d like it on the trail too

I replaced it with Sport using FORScan. I believe it only lets you have seven modes available.

That's a good idea but I already have Sport so maybe delete and add Baja for some high speed beach running

I always forget that I have front wheel cameras.

Have you or anyone had issues with rear seat passengers banging knees or whatever on the plastic/molle seatbacks? Especially with my 2-door and people moving in/out sometimes in contact with the seat backs, I had concern people would be knocking against them, but maybe that's not an issue?

My 8 yo son sits in back but nobody else. He hasn't complained.

The analog speedometer

Useless. So is the digital one if you drive from the US to Canada and want kph. You'd think it would be the setting in the menu, but that doesn't change it.

The analog speedometer

This is true but unfortunate. An analog tach and speedometer would be much better than what we have but ford will see this and eliminate the only remaining analog gauge.

On my recent cross country trip, trail turn assist was the only feature I didn't use pretty much. Also my winch.

I figured this could be a thread where we help each other with ideas. Post a Bronco feature you feel you aren't using enough and others can provide some ideas with how to use it better.

I'll start with: Molle panels. The idea of this sounded cool to me, but I haven't been able to think of how I should use them. What kinds of things are people attaching to the backs of the front seats? And if I got the Molle panel accessory for the tailgate, what should I put back there?

Love the seatback molles...I have bear spray, a first aid kit, a holster, a fixed blade knife, and a pouch holding a leatherman and extra ammo attached to them.

GOAT modes. They add little to value over use of the hero switches, especially with a manual trans. I think they address auto trans settings a bit so some might get that value. As for me I never use them.

4-Auto.

The one time I did use it I got tired of it cutting random power to the front wheels and I switched it to 4-High. Hate the unpredictability of it.

And the one feature I thought was kinda gimmicky but have actually found helpful: Hill Descent Control

I trust you know enough to not use 4H on pavement.

Turn signals, came from BMW where I didn’t use them. Still don’t

As an X5M owner, I approve of this mesaage.
