how do u create a smart playlist? I have a bout a thousand songs I have on a usb drive That my bronco can play and several playlist… but a smart playlist?
I do it in the Apple Music app (formerly iTunes). New->Smart Playlist, then choose the various conditions from the drop down lists. Sync the playlist to your phone and then you can play it whenever and wherever and via CarPlay and Bluetooth.

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?
Trail cruise and trail turn assist, I last used both during the rodeo 2 years ago. They were both cool, just haven't found a need to use them since.

Hill descent. I don't know why they included it with the manual transmission. Need to descend a steep hill? Just pick a lower gear. Don't need no stinkin' brakes. (hill descent just rides the brakes so you don't have to)

I struggled with this too and used this post as inspiration. The Yeti Sidekick is a great addition to the Molle panels for stashing small gear. You can then 'sling' it on if you're walking about like to watch your kid's soccer game in my case. Snacks, water, phone, wallet, keys, and other things are then close at hand.

When I have offroaded, the goat modes can be really useful when you're in the right terrain, but I've found the sway bar disconnect to be the least used item.
Merry Christmas! I just got a set of these for Xmas but I can’t seem to figure out how you installed them. The clasp on the back doesn’t fit inside the molly panel. Did you use the strap or attach it a different way?

Removable top. Don't need it. The back half has never been off and the front panels have only been removed a handful of times and once was to install interior lights.
That's too bad. Running topless and doorless is terrific, even in the PNW where we get mucho rain. I never got out the trails before our summer turned to liquid sunshine, but the visibility maneuvering amongst rocks and trees is going to be AWESOME. The RCI step/sliders I've added seem like they will do well keeping slop out of the cabin.

I have an auto, but the tach is pretty silly, not that I would have had to use it much had I talked my wife into a manual.

Seems like a lot of people identifying some of the "useless" off road features on the Bronco should have shopped the Explorer harder. Most of these features have uses and are what make the Bronco special to begin with.

The onboard owner's manual. I think it was written by Captain Obvious. I can't remember it telling me something useful.

And a Happy New Year! Somebody was a good gift giver. That picture wasn't mine and I gave up on the Yeti slings. The Sidekick attaches well and I use all the time though.
It looks like the OP used zip ties to attach the slings if you want to go that route.

Ah I thought it was yours. Thats what I get for trying to do all this via my phone ha. For now I used the neck strap to wrap it around the headrest so that It just sits in the back. But I may go the route of zip strips.
