Every single Bronco will have the ability to connect your phone to FordPass.
Im not sure what you think you are trying to say, but that sentence is most definitely structured incorrectly.

The Bronco does not "connect your phone to Fordpass". Any phone anywhere can download the Fordpass app. You can then pair and sync that phone with the new Ford. If its a "connected" vehicle, it now sends all that info to Ford and their partners. Ford is forcing dealers to force their customers to do this.

The Mid Package on the Bronco is what happens to include the "connectability".

"Connected" Broncos use your phone to send information via Fordpass.

I suggest you read the FordPass Privacy Policy, do some research on Ford's partnership with insurance companies and then get back to me when you know what you're talking about.

He’s just saying every Bronco has the ability to use Ford Pass, I don’t think he’s being hostile. He’s technically right but every company does this in their vehicles now so tbh worrying about it is a fools errand. They’re going to track you one way or another. My wife doesn’t even use anything on her Chevy Cruze; navigation, GPS, On star and I still get emails for our “personalized insurance quote” every couple months.

Which navigation service to you plan on using that won't be tracking you when you use Car Play?
So of course your whereabouts can be tracked if you have a smartphone on you, regardless of what kind of car youre in.

Im talking about insurance companies knowing everytime I exceed the speed limit and how many miles I travel without a seat belt on, and then raising my insurance rate.

Doesn't sync4 have over the air capability with bulit in modem? All come with this so if they want to know where you are it won't be too hard even without Ford pass.
