Not sure what is counterintuitive here, this is exactly what you'd expect.

As someone who drives in Atlanta periodically, I just had to comment on this. For those who don't know, Dekalb Avenue in Atlanta was a minefield, horrible pavement, widely known for it. I would submit that if you NEVER drove your Bronco off-road, but had to drive on Dekalb Avenue (or other...

Yes, this thought crossed my mind. While it may have been possible to change this setting in the past, maybe Ford has disabled that in later updates. So maybe it's not Carista's fault. No idea, just reporting what I saw.

I tried the Carista Evo today. I'll need to return it, pending what I hear from user support. It doesn't work. To be fair, it sounds like they're still developing for Ford and I will contact them about the issues below, so the book is not closed just yet. Not all of the items shown in their...

Carista has worked great for my Toyota, tons of small modifictions. I'll be trying it (yes, the new version) on the Bronco soon.

No, not worth it in my opinion. Like you said, with an automatic transmission, sure, changing shift points is factor. But with a manual, not really. You control the shift points. Sport mode makes the throttle more responsive and puts you in 4A (if you have it, which you do in a Badlands). I...

My MT also has the "rock crusher" noise when cold. Not too bad, but noticeable. No signs of imminent failure, just "the way it is", I guess. I mitigate the issue by plugging in the block heater when it's cold. Definitely less noise when warm. I'm surprised that more people who custom order...

I have to say, this is really disappointing. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting things to be a lot less civil and a lot more entertaining. Oil threads tend to drift in that direction! :)

Back in the early days they had only the Off-Roadeo in Austin and most people hadn't received their Broncos yet. You could attend without owning a Bronco as long you had a confirmed order and paid an additional refundable deposit. In the session I went to, many people who attended left saying...

I'm sorry, but this is demonstrably false in my experience (with three different makes that I own and others I've driven). It may be fantastic for you, but I assure you the people you are blinding do not agree. I think automatic high beams are even worse on country roads, with hills, curves...

My Bronco is the SECOND Ford I've personally owned. But there have been other Fords in my life. Ford #1 was a 1976 Ford Elite. Look it up, it's not good. I bought it used for a couple hundred bucks in the late 80s, I think. If any of you remember the 70s, well, Ford was not at their best...

Two pictures that people sent me stand out. The first one is when my salesman (@Gloff on the forum) sent me photos and videos of my new Bronco back in 2022 because I was anxiously waiting but it arrived when I was out of town. Very much appreciated. The second picture is my niece, a badass...

I don't know about BlueCruise, SuperCruise, etc. I was just talking about adaptive cruise control. I happen to agree with Doug, I don't want all the bells and whistles of some of the other systems, I just found myself impressed with how well TSS 3.0 did the basics, including adaptive cruise...

I used to think the same thing, until I bought a new Toyota with their "Safety Sense 3.0". https://www.toyota.com/safety-sense/ Then again, I never thought I'd buy a Toyota as a "fun" car, but here we are. The Toyota system in my car does NOT use a lot more braking or acceleration, it is more...

Testimonial: I bought my Bronco from @Gloff / Serramonte Ford and had a great experience. This was in the early days when Ford reneged on X-plan pricing and people were figuring out which dealers were legit and which were going to hit buyers with a lot of extra charges and markups. They...

I have similar stories in the electric power world. This just another reason I laugh when people say, oh, the factory engineers know what they're doing so we shouldn't change something (even something simple like oil change intervals, for instance). Yeah, they do, but it doesn't matter...

Exactly. Some companies are doing it well, in my very limited experience driving hybrids. I hope you caught the comment I quoted. That person was also very skeptical of Tesla: "Knowing Tesla, they've got it set right at the limit OR they refuse to update older vehicles." I also agree on the...

I've been in vehicles that *do* turn on the brake lights for regen. I think some manufacturers are doing this well, and apparently some are not. I thought I saw the proper behavior (lighting brake lights when there is slowing due to regen) in a Toyota, but this is the best explanation I found...

I don't know if they DO. But they DID. That was when they only had the Austin site, none of the others. In general, I wasn't sure if Ford was going to follow through and keep offering the Off-Roadeos long term or if they would keep doing them as well, no matter what they said. So I just took...
