PSA: Seeing several posts here that allude to, or outright state, using trail turn assist on dry pavement. It cannot be used on dry pavement. I know many of you know that, but for sure some don't realize it, or forgot. Just don't want anyone to be let down when they try it with their new Bronco in the parking lot or drive thru.

Anyway, video was great! Can't wait for my 2 dr BL! I'm still getting 7MT though. :)

Prolly been said before; but that amount of thunks, rattles, and squeaks is less than expected for the terrain. It will get worse once she breaks in.

Bear in mind it was a cellphone video...not the best in terms of audio fidelity.

That was damn smooth for a cellphone!
I loved the video...don't get me wrong. It very much conveyed the capabilities of the vehicle. I'm just not going to pay much credence to the relative sound level of the rattling given the recording device. The passenger mentioned it once or twice, but not constantly, so I don't think it was so bad in real life...

Hopefully nobody is expecting Rolls Royce cabin experiences out of their Bronco. I was impressed that it seemed to have less-than-normal off road ambiance.

I also wondered if they may have had some loose equipment in the back/cargo area that could be moving around too?

I have a question, cuz I've never thought about it before, and I'm too lazy to search.

If you have V6 + auto, do you get those 3 automatically?
Call me silly but I wanna try out trail turn assist... In the parking lot 😁
You shouldn't ever try trail turn assist in a parking lot. It's like turning with 4x4 on asphalt. It just a big NO NO. Those features are meant to be used on loose terrain as dirt or sand. In the ordering guide will tell you is it come as a standard with manual transmission or no.

Have you ever watch a video of torture test of any car during the prototype stage? It sound just like that. It is just the suspension sound under extreme condition and it's completely normal.

I'm sharing the link of the Bronco torture test to hear those noises. Nothing to worry about.

Every ride along post I’ve seen on here and the rest of the interwebz mentioned rattling coming from the hardtop. It’s several pieces held together with clamps and friction, can’t say I’m surprised it rattles driving the shit out if it like that.

Did you think the sound deadening would make a big difference or was it good with out?

So on the Wildtrak, the trail turn function is one of the hero switches. First addition and Badland, need to use steering wheel functions with dash board. Did i see this correctly.
