I just want to know who deleted the snow already.
That's how it works out here in CO being 6k+ feet closer to the sun, or in Buena Vista's case 8k' closer. I had 4 inches come down and following day, by 3pm it was melted off. But then went on a trail ride Friday after checking out the Bronco and had to turn around due to large snow drift shutting off the pass.

The problem appears to be whether or not you can open the doors with the mirrors in the folded position. Normally, thatā€™s not a problem as the mirrors are on the door and move with it. Iā€™m sure the reason why there isnā€™t a power mirror option is that the doors canā€™t be opened with the mirrors folded.
wouldn't that be an issue then if they're manually folded as well? Still folded and preventing doors from opening. You'd have to manually unfold the mirrors before opening just like you would if power folded.

Haven't had any problems (knock on wood) on my '15 F-350 mirrors and I have to fold and unfold them every time I drive it to get it in and out of the garage.
Could be more you use them, the longer they last

Is it possible that power mirrors are an option that this build does't have, especially since its not a high/lux package?

This is from the preproduction tester photos the other way which had the 12" screen. People were quick to assume it was to turn on the entry/puddle lights but I'm starting to believe it may be power fold.

I think those switches are for the spot lights built into the mirrors since they are next to the light switches. I would think fold switches, if it had them, would be near the mirror adjust panel in the center console.

I think it probably is. They probably figure people wonā€™t fold the mirrors on a regular basis as a result so why spend the money on power mirrors.

First, ya'll complain about wanting the mirrors to fold. Now that they do, now it's a "I wish they were powered" thing? Use your hands man. Lol
Was anyone ever in doubt that theyā€™d be able to fold? Thatā€™d be a pretty ridiculous concern.

I think itā€™s more likely those buttons are for the spot lights, not the puddle lights.

I'm originally from Kansas so our strange weather is very similar. A bunch of snow over night, you go into work all in snow gear and you clock out to sun shine and melted snow with a high of 75Ā° the next day. The Midwest is nuts.

I have power fold mirrors on my 2011 Raptor that I fold every day to park. Moreover, I fold them when publicly parking as well. In ten years, I have had zero issues with the power fold mirrors. It is a convenience item that I use regularly ā€” and have used in tight off road situations. At some point, Ford will offer this as an option on the Bronco; just wish it was with the initial release.

The real question is will the 360 degree cameras still be functional with the mirrors folded? :unsure:
I imagine that as much thought as they have put into this vehicle, this would not have been overlooked but a definitive answer would be great. ;)

I suspect that the camera will be near the LED light, which is on the fixed portion of the mirror
