On Top of Dash Control Push Buttons

[Phil in Tenn]

I have a 26 Outer Banks ordered and they no longer have a rear locker unless you get the SAS package. So where you normally would have the locker switches, there are still 3 buttons to activate on top of the dash. Can anyone advise what they do? I think one is for the 4 way flashers and another might be for traction control off and not sure about the other one. And I could be wrong too. Anyone know for sure? I looked in the online owner's manual and could not locate it. Probably an oversight on my part. TIA for your help!!!

Probably the Trail Turn Assist button.

On my Base they are for flashers, traction control and turn assist. On that last one not sure if I got the name right but its the feature where it locks the rear wheel so you can make a sharp turn. As for a locker I wanted it but it wasn't available on base. No regrets, it does a great job in snow without a locker. I think a locker is only needed for hard core off roading or bragging rights.

The cool kids call them Hero Switches. They are for hazards, TTA, traction control, lockers, and sway bar disconnect.

Thanks Cory, but I am too old to be a cool kid anymore...LOL!!! I knew of the lockers, traction control, sway bar disconnect, hazards, but I was not sure being our OBX ordered is stock, non SAS. The one that threw me was the TTA. No lockers but TTA? Guess a regular old school 4X4 but with TTA! Interesting. Would of preferred a rear locker at least like my F250, but Ford has cheapened out IMHO. We are going to get some KO2's or Falken Wildpeak AT4W's so we should be fine.

A rear locker is really nice to have when you need it tho. It would have been alot more work to get to my parents house durring the snow we got a few weeks ago with out it lol

There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason why Ford includes some features on some Bronco trims and not on others.

The rhyme is dollars and the reason is profit. For my use case and budget I bought the lowest trim with a rear locker and still paid a few K more than I should have had to. Now you need to go all the way to a Badlands, in a 2 door, and pay an extra $10K in 2021 dollars, $15K at todays prices.
