From what I understand, if your phone is synced, there is a free app that you can start it from. Over my head, but I am sure there are some up in here that can explain it...
Is this true? Because that’s my problem with the base you can’t get remote start

I would be happy with a Bronco Tim Horton's Edition.
You literally get a free coffee if you drive the Tim Horton's trim level through the drive trough. No questions asked. Maybe it could also have a crossed-hockey stick holder for the spare tire to fill the space better?
I wouldn't even drink Tim Horton's for free! Bronco can do better than that.

Edit:

Also...lol at this typo:

drive trough.
Tim's coffee tastes like it came from a trough. :ROFLMAO:

This is true. The major caveat being that vehicle will need cell signal to perform the remote action. Not too common of an issue but there. It’s also extremely easy to make a Ford in the last 8 years or so remote start with a simple add on to your OBD2 and usually three clicks of your lock command on your key fob.

The options exist, don’t let Ford or its service department try to make you think you need a new wiring harness to get remote start. My 2017 STX F150 had ALL of remote start features hidden in its software, just had to unlock it. Could pick what I wanted my climate settings to be, start up run time etc. just like my OEM Ford remote start on my later 2018 Lariat F150. It’s absurd, I actually had a Ford tech tell me it would take over $1000 of work to get remote start on my STX but they’ve been baking in the hardware for years. And now they offer the App version for free and it’s been stated to be on all Broncos.

This might not be a popular opinion but I think the base looks like a hot garbage fire.
To be be clear, I like hot garbage fires and I like the 2-Door Bronco Base. So I am not going to disagree.

Double Double it. Tastes great!
Ha. If it's that good it doesn't need a cup of sugar and a litre of milk.

Anyway...back to Broncos. I don't need to give Americans a hard time on the coffee they drink. I can bust Canadian's balls in person. :ROFLMAO:

Been posted here or on the other site. Never had it so won't miss it. Grabbed my interest because it's high on my list of "nice to have". Not a deal breaker or something that I'd be willing to spend a coupla thousand extra for on a higher trim level to have. Perhaps you could start a thread on it?...

That is great news. Can’t afford to jump up another model just for remote start

I have never had remote start either but really would like to have it. But I’m also not able to go up a trim level to get it.
