What's your most under-used feature?

[TX-Dennis]

Things I've never used (other than to test them when it was new) GOAT modes, front locker, Aux switches. I do use 4A for slippery conditions on highway for extra peace of mind.

Had a Ford tailgate molle panel on my original (still lamented) Basesquatch. Found it all but useless attached by those stupid flimsy clips and the near useless peel and stick Velcro. I wasn't smart enough to think of using screws to make it work like it should, so I didn't get one for the replacement Wildtrak. Maybe I'll rethink that now.

I kinda like the limited rear vis in the Raptor. That 3rd brake light blocks all the DA drivers here in Upstate NY that forget to dim their bright lights.

I found it amusing that people would tailgate me and I would not know it because I couldn't see them until they ended up passing me. I typically drive the speed limit with cruise control.

It's definitely my....

The analog speedo for sure.

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?

first Aid kit, battery charges. My co2 system. All the bags that hold all of my various recovery gear. Toilet paper, tissues, flash lights, guns, ammo, rifles, radio microphones. Knives, geez the list is endless for me when it comes to mole panela

Trail cruise control is reallllllllllly nice between features

Oh I have used it on long stretches of overlanding where you couldn’t go faster the. 15mph in the first place.

To your point, who's cooler doesn't have a bottle opener tied to it?

My fridge doesn’t have one….. but I don’t need one. All my bottles are twisties.. or need a cork screw.

I have never used the rear wiper on any vehicle I have ever owned. On the Expedition I just let it rot off in in sun.

I use it to keep all my stickers clean on the back window since I can’t see out of it anyways

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.

Personaly I hate analog… I like know exactly what my speed is to the mph not within plus or Minus 5. But I get that everyone has their preferences and it’s why ford left Both on the bronco

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.

Screw the bear spray…. Every time I used it the wind blew it back in face…. I prefer a gun. A bear gets thar close and is threatening I will shoot! Especially since 3 people have still been attacked and killed after still using bear spray.

Downshifting is great, I do it as well - This is my first auto transmission in 15 years. Downshifting in 4H only slows you down so much. The trail cruise will maintain a way slower speed and consistent speed. I was simply commenting on an experience I had where I used a feature one time that comes in our vehicles. I don’t think it’s the greatest breakthroug, but I will use it when I feel like as it is there.

I use mine on long stretches of overlanding road, where the road is just way to bumpy to drive over 15mph or there are way to many tight narrow turns to deal with, but no obstacles to deal with. No different the. Using the full cruise control on the interstates.

REMOVABLE TOP!
I see so many broncos with their tops on when it’s beautiful outside. It’s a CONVERTIBLE! So sad

Eat more mexican, you'll use it more.

My wife and I hate auto start-stop, adaptive cruise control, lane assist

Washout floors. I thought I'd use them all the time, but the fact that I haven't really had to get out when there's muddy ground has meant that a vacuum is all I've needed to clean out the floor.
