Which Bronco Feature Do You Barely Use?

[UncleBrad]

Rear seats are still unused.

I'd have to say the same thing. That's the first thing I did with my Bronco: remove the back seats.

Rear cup holders that I dont have

trail turn assist, it's pointless and just tears up the trails. (fun on ice)
goat modes - also pointless. But i also learned how to drive a stick shift when i was like 10, so i don't need computer help lol.

Removable doors. I've never removed them and never will.

Downhill Descent. I pushed the button once, but in 4Lo C it doesn't exactly do much but get in the way. I don't have any of the other features/Hero buttons -- just an extra-large sauce holder.

I still haven't tried Crank-In-Gear, didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago. I meant to try it out on the trail this weekend but got distracted.

GOAT modes in general are ... gimmicky to me. I'd rather just push the button for what I need when I need it, but GOAT is the only way to OEM adjust steering/throttle sensitivities, so... kinda stuck with it if you want either of those things right now, which can occasionally be useful.

But - all of that - the one thing that gets really underused: Trailer Hitch. I had always had a pickup, and I do have a small trailer. I thought I could just use the trailer and eventually sell the pickup. But towing with the Bronco is ... it's just a lot better/easier with a pickup than on the Bronco. The only reason I keep the hitch on my Bronco is to use it to protect my bumper from trail hits now.

What is crank-in-gear?

Oh, it’s for a manual transmission. No need to reply.

You can start the Bronco in gear (neutral/safety interlock disable) like a Tacoma or an old 60's Ford.

Well, I've lived up in NY for many years and have adjusted to the driving habits of the prime examples I see on the road here (lol). So, I guess the one feature I use the least is (of course) the turn signals. (People should just know where I'm going and/or get outta my f-ing way!).

Or current day Jeep Wrangler.

Trail turn assist. Not saying I'll never use it, but haven't to date in either of my Badlands starting in '22. I'm a big fan of GOAT modes

Brian...Seriously?

I use my hitch pretty much DAILY!
It holds my totally awesome Shackle!

Brights - that's what the lights bolted to the bumper or for.

I have not enabled Bambi mode to allow fog lights on with the brights. Planning on that once the weather cools off below 100 (so, November) as I'm gonna put some amber film on the fogs as I get a good amount of bright flashing on the road. These are the only fogs that fit in the Westin bumper holes, so could not get them in amber.

Maybe I'll start using them after that mod.
