I can't think of any models that have done this in the past, but it seems like a fairly simple implementation (with potential for additional revenue until the aftermarket makes them for cheaper) that would set Ford apart in the industry as far as making the Bronco more easily customizable. My...

Hybrid - possibly, dependent on how it is implemented. But it's unlikely they'll implement it the way I'd like, so probably not. A 4x4 SUV that is going to be used for real 4-wheeling could benefit immensely from electric drives. Precise speed, torque, and traction control could be attained...

Not wanting/not using a feature is a far cry from irrational fear. It seems that few people here have an irrational fear of technology. I like it, if it has a point, makes something better or easier, as long as I can ignore it or better yet turn it off if I don't want it in a particular...

Well, if anyone here has access to those numbers, it's you... I saw a red ST at Home Depot yesterday. I'm not a fan of the modern interpretation of SUVs but damn, that thing was sexy.

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to stop by. The ForScan community is one of those indeed rare forums where people spend a lot of time collaborating on projects to understand and improve the digital environment we live in. Please accept my gratitude for sharing your knowledge; what you...

Ford can badge it whatever they wish, but I think we can safely refer to it as "baby Explorer" from this point forward.

Yikes, that article depicts some scary stuff at the Chicago plant. Bronco won't be built there, but no telling if the same environment exists in Michigan.

Do you have a source on the convertible exemption? I was unable to find much *official* info on it.

So deleting half the clutter should be beneficial, right? Make it like pairing a BT speaker: press this button, see the flashing blue light, enter this code on the BT screen on your phone, done. If you can't manage that, you'll still have to have someone else do it for you... no change in the...

I'm not certain that I see those two as functionally different. They're both a get-under-the-truck-and-manipulate-some-stuff scenarios. The manual transfer case issue I had (it's still there) is almost like an alternate shift pattern, the shifter doesn't move in the normal direction when you...

I think some are missing the point - I'm not saying that I don't need a stereo, and I'm not saying that I don't want nav through the speakers or the music to "duck" when a call comes in. I'm saying the storage, receiver, and 96 different ways of manipulating the sound isn't necessary (for me)...

These are short-ride, last mile transportation devices. They are for people who don't need a car, but don't want to walk. Like everything, there's a tradeoff - comfort/cost/convenience. It's effectively disposable, but it won't work for longer distance or inclement weather. I think...

I agree that simple is better. And complications - as in, an electronic display that runs a solenoid that turns an actuator that mechanically moves the hub lock into position - introduces multiple potential fail points in exchange for a modicum of convenience. If those fail points can be...

Nice. I am always amazed at the "danger zone" a lot of modern vehicles have the electronics at. Excursion, the Injector Drive Module is in front of the firewall (engine side) down low behind the inner fender - too low, in my opinion, and a real challenge to get to for diagnostics. At least...

I agree the weight issue is probably closer to a wash than many would think. As for the prior example, my guess is the sunroof motor, support, and glass was the majority of the weight difference claimed. I may or may not qualify as "older folk" (probably, though), but it isn't a...

Hmmm. This got me thinking... back in the old days, there were special editions, homologation vehicles, and focused-interest production runs. Usually they were stripped down versions, not overbloated luxury barges like most "special editions" are today. Maybe make a Baja version that has a...

Hard to tell on a monitor, but that looks a little brighter than the one here - still a damn handsome truck, in my opinion.

There's a late FSB in town, a Burgundy with the tan Eddie Bauer trim and top. It may be one of the nicest color combos I've seen - don't know if it was a factory color or a color chage/repaint.

Oh, hell yes. It's a passion product, for certain. OEM customization will be a key element of success, but there are economic factors involved in the degree to which that can be offered. They have to appeal to the broadest possible segment of potential buyers, from the technophobes to the...

Then you entirely missed the point of the thread, which is ultimately my fault.
