What's your most under-used feature?

[Brian_B]

Wait. the 7mt will rev match when changing gears in cruise control? Without the pro cal? Time for a road test.

It’s crazy. I’m used to the clutch dropping cruise just like hitting the brake - but no, just clutch and shift, don’t touch the gas

I really wish Ford would let us customize in the settings which audio sources we want displayed. I would just remove Sirius entirely. I would have been willing to subscribe, but I have no interest in paying to listen to '90s-quality MP3 audio. The music should sound better than FM radio (not to mention HD radio!), not worse.

with a set Cooper STT Pro mud tires, snorkel whistling in my ear and all the interior noise kinda hard to expect high fidelity --so never really noticed any issues with sound quality.

THE REAR CUPHOLDERS!

My rear cupholders have never once been used. I'm actually not sure that center armrest has even ever been folded down!

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.

Hill decent control... takes a bunch of button mashing to get into that mode lol

I think a lot has to do though with what one uses their Bronco for. A mall crawler pavement princess, Won’t use the same features as someone who rock crawls, goes mudding, or someone who is a overlander, or any even a combination.
Even among rock crawlers, how someone rock crawls as well use different features As well.

however I also believe that some aren’t fully aware of what some Features/tech are or what benefits to using those features would provide as well.

It wasn't stock but the BYOD rail on the dash, I put my phone up there once and realized carplay was good enough for navigation and picking music.

some of us who use ham radios and or grms mount the radio heads on the byod bar as well.

I would have to say my Bull Bar.

Bull bars are for looks only unless well your a rancher and have bulls!

I forgot about the aux switches. I have yet to use them. Oddly, I still consider them money well spent. (Well, they came standard on Badlands, but had they not, I would have checked that option box.) I don't have a need for a winch or A-pillar lights, so I'm still waiting to figure out how I'll use them.

basically anything you want to switch on and off! lol besides the obvious of various style of lights, some out their fridges on switches, or power stations, 2 way radios, air compressor. anything basically you want to easily switch on or off. I don’t use a switch for my winch.

My Dad's new Explorer came with ACC. He hates it so much he just about returned the car to the dealership. I had to show him how to turn it off so that it behaves like normal cruse control.

Yet another reason I am glad I got the base interior package.

I have a hard time understanding why people hate ACC but love standard cruise control. Ever since started using cruise control in the 1970’s I had wished for ACC. I don’t get how someone Wouldn’t want to be able to pace the car in front of them without having to constantlygo between brake and accelerator!

THE REAR CUPHOLDERS!

my rear seat passengers use them. Except when overlanding, or rock crawling. Those things won’t even hold a can of soda without it bouncing out. Unlike the front cup holders that can!

some of us have hearing so bad from going to the concerts in the 70’s and 80’s that we can’t tell the difference in audio quality of am radio and fm radio… other then the stereo effect and static.

I really like the Yeti cup holders.. Might have to scoop me up a pair. My kids water bottles never fit in the arm-rest cupholder so that would be a perfect solution. Do they attach pretty easily?

unless you want the yeti name on them and pay that price. You can get really good quality knock offs that work on Amazon… I have some and they work great and are very easy to attache

I’ve wondered if there’s a FORScan option to disable it. I’ve never looked into it, just wondered.

if there is no one has found it.

problem is, ford doesn’t want to release to much info on programming to change things either.

I Agrees, and some of us can’t tell because we ruined our hearing in the 70’s and 80‘s going to rock concerts and being on the front row!

plus…. He obviously doesn’t travel to places where there is no cell reception, no internet, and no FM radio! If you want music, you better have it on a thumb drive, or downloaded to your phone or have Sat radio.

I drive a set speed during 95% of my commuting, I've never once wanted to pace a car, if they are driving slower than my speed I pass them. I live in deer country, so I hate pacers, if you are driving fast enough to catch up to me, you are capable of going around. I live in a rural area, and don't deal with heavy traffic. ACC= tits on a boar
