2022 Broncos No Longer Have Temperature Setting Displayed on Control Knobs

[Seatmandan]

Anyone noticing that the MY22 Broncos are missing the temperature on the knob? Shoutout to @BroncoBoi for finding this.

Versus MY2021 for reference

Temperature display now appears at the top of the infotainment touchscreen display.

Where's the 2nd picture from? It seems to me that may have been pre-production, since it has an illuminated PRNDM shifter bezel shown as well..... Just curious if someone can verify a 2021 trim level with the chrome/satin accents and colored fan speed switch

EDIT: It appears the only place that silver accents and colored fan switch is shown is on the 360 degree build & price imaging. I can't locate those silver rings anywhere else- the black trim is rubberized/sanoprene or soft touch paint, probably for grip/waterproofing.

Well crap. How am I going to know if I’m hot or cold now

12 pages now. Any rhyme or reason as to why some 2022s have it and some dont?

It's a bit haphazard if this is due to certain parts that may or may not be available as the Bronco is coming down the line, and they sell a product that actually varies like this.

I think to figure it out we need to track package level and trim.

I have a feeling it’ll vary based on which package you get. Like if you get the High or Lux, maybe they put it on the screen instead of the knobs since there is more screen to work with. Or maybe on Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond you don’t get it… but in the upper three trims you do.

Or maybe it’s completely random and depends on which components are available at any given time.

somebody in another thread said both the pictures of the numbers missing is from high and lux owners.....

ford really screwing people over

Clearly the poll should only have these options.

Does your dual AC Bronco have temperature numbers on the knob?

MY22: No
MY22: No and I also have reading comprehension issues

There are no MY22 Broncos with the temperature in the knobs.

Gotta say I hate this change. I don't want to have to look at the screen when I could preciously glance at the only illuminated number displayed in that lower location. It makes the vehicle feel more premium and is a much better design imo.

Wait, what about BD rear bumper being changed??? That is my trim... a big plus was the steel bumpers (and I am going with the modular instead of the "capable" front bumper since I like it better and am price protected.

I was going to post about my opinion of this thread, but it will just stir the pot. Folks are entitled to their opinion just as much as mine.

Speaking of my opinion, I don' t think it's that big of a deal. Lets flip this the other way, if it is the chip shortage, im not waiting however long it takes to get chips just to get the temp on the knobs that I have to look down at, when it's on the screen.

 

[lakesinai]

Seems like 35% have the LED?

It does make it seem like a chip-relaated phenomenon?

 

[Joey.calc]

Wait, it gets a plastic rear bumper now?

I did not say that. Read what I was responding to. Some guy said something about different rear bumper and only 1 tow hook on the rear of BD. I am asking a question, not stating anything - want to hear what @Turbo NY has to say first.

Ford is setting themselves up for a class action and frankly this website is the perfect place to organize such a thing.

...no they aren't.

We all understand the value proposition differently and we all have to make up our own minds, Is the price being asked for the Bronco I desire worth the cost? Is it a good value? We will all come to a different conclusion, which is fair, but complaining endlessly about the value proposition is just nonsensical. It will not change anything.

So, if you feel cheated, robbed, that Ford is doing you dirty...they tell them to F-off and leave. I won't blame you. But, if you choose to wait and choose to give them your money, then your anger is your fault, not Fords. You have made a choice to be angry.

@Bt_ostate @Father-of-two @buzpro @Ats06 @gmille @slohatch

Can you all verify that you do in fact have a MY22 Bronco with the temp number in the knob? If you do, please take a picture and/or let us know what package you have and build date if you know it. If you not have a MY22, please go in and change your vote in the poll.

Sorry I’m an idiot misread it while very tired I have a 21

This is my 2021 First Edition trim (July build). No chrome bezel, just the accents behind the knobs. Fan switch is backlit blue, not colored in.

here is my opinion. As much as a bummer is that i have not even gotten a VIN yet , i will wait all the way to 2023 if i get price protection and a promise of the car that i ordered with all the features i was promised.

The knobs are a big deal for me coming from a older car with NO lcd's anywhere on the dash. Not even a nav system.
