Bronco does not have Lane Centering

[Drex]

So is the OP cancelling a reservation or just complaining about something without any intention of doing anything to mitigate his displeasure?

It looks to me like it's standard on every model and trim.

It doesn't stop my order. I'll be really sad when I'm driving on the beach .

Zero effs given about lane centering, adaptive cruise, etc.

I’m ordering a Badlands and purposely not adding the mid or above packages to avoid as much of that jazz as possible.

That kind of tech may be important to some buyers but I’m trying to avoid it.

PEACE

LLOD is that you?

I am quite surprised that the Full Size Bronco does not have Lane Centering and only has the useless Lane Keeping, unlike the Bronco Sport. It also lacks the Stop & Go feature useful in traffic.

For information, Lane Centering is the equivalent of the basic Tesla Autopilot. Your car will drive itself on the highway, taking turns without issue and stay in the lane and slow down or accelerate as needed. Consumer reports praises the Ford Lane Centering system as one of the best in the industry, behind Tesla. I recently test drove a Bronco sport and I can confirm the Lane Centering with Intelligent adaptive cruise is game changing for long road trips.

Interestingly the more expensive Bronco full size only has basic adaptive cruise with Lane Keeping. Most people including myself find the Lane Keeping system useless and intrusive, all it does is alert you and send corrections in the steering when being too close to a lane. I always deactivate this feature on my rentals.

A lot of people on this forum do not like automated / advanced safety features and that's fine. But for those of us who like it it's disappointing to see that the much more expensive and newer Full Size Bronco doesn't have the most advanced feature of the little Sport.

There are a lot of things that Ford has left out but has kept the price as if they were there. It is very disappointing.

GVWR issues...

Mike Levine confirmed this pretty early on.

OP is not canceling, and is just making sure everybody is aware. Looking at the whole thread some people were not aware of this feature.
Does Drex have any useful comment/info to share or just trolling around?

Nope. But I’m familiar with his channel. ?

I’m happy with adaptive cruise control. If I want autonomous driving I will borrow my wife’s 2021 F150 Platinum.

Wow, I don't think the Op asked what everybody else thought about it? He only wanted to complain that he didn't see it. And I do believe it is in that lux package. So for everybody else that doesn't like it okay that's great, but that's not really the point of the post. We can still be nice..

FWIW, the active driver assist package is a $2,000 stand alone option on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifolgio.

The Bronco is not a luxury car, it is body on frame off road vehicle. It also cannot be compared directly to the Bronco Sport (which is a tarted up Escape) that they should mirror tech and costs is a logical error.

That billion dollars or so sunk into the actual Bronco's chassis and frame weren't to develop a minivan or Model Y competitor. In fact, on the tech front you would be vastly better served with a Mustang..... A Mustang Mach-E to be precise.

But you're not a cheap ass (are you?), you want the tech, the image AND the respect. Can't wait to see what color of Stelvio Gquadrifoglio you end up buying. Truly $100,000 is a great price point for automobiles. All the tech, all the luxury, all the performance.

Does it come in Cactus Gray?

Another example of enabled stupidity with these car nannies: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/tesla-driver-napping-alberta-speeding-1.5727828

Here’s a point to ponder: my insurance guy asked if I was getting lane keeping as an option when I bought my 2019 F150. I said no, and he said that that was good and said he had a personal experience that scared the shit out of him.

While driving with his wife and young kids in his SUV that had the lane keeping activated, He was being overtaken on a 2-lane highway by a nutter doing a hairball move with an oncoming semi closing fast. My agent realized that nutter wasn’t going to make it and decided he needed to take the ditch to avoid death. He tried to swerve into the ditch and the SUV would not let him do so. The nutter threaded the needle (fortunately) with an impossibly close call. He’s turned his off every drive since.

IMO, the more nannies and gizmos vehicles get, the worse drivers become. Given that half the people out there are below average, that’s a lot of additional degradation of ability. It scares me a little.

I'll take "things that never happened for $1000, Alex"...

There is no lane keeping system made that can't easily be overpowered by driver input to the steering wheel.

Good point, somebody made that up.
