True. But I would assume people who would even bother answer the poll would know what it is already.Dear OP, This would be another great thread to provide the detailed information about what the 4A transmission does and how it varies from the standard RWD transmission Bronco will have without it.

People have expressed confusion as to what the "Advanced" transmission is or what it does. Having this info up will slowly sink into those who choose to research the matter.
That's the beauty of it. You won't know if you need it until you need it. And if you did need it you probably wouldn't even realize it's doing its job.You guys should work for Ford. Ya got me. I'm emailing my salesman and adding Adv 4x4.
I'm still a little, do I really need it? But for $800, why the heck not. It's not gonna break me. Better to have and not use, then to not have, and wonder if I did have.
so thx, thank you all for costing me another $800.
They have automatic wipers and high beams now too, i bet you’re a pro at those too huh? I admit, flipping that little lever or spinning that knob for 4X4 is a very daunting task, too manly for me, I don’t have the finger dexterity like a real man does.No. It’s for novices here in the southeast

I wish it was an option apart from Sasquatch, but I'm not going to pay an extra $6000 to get it.I would love to have it but I guess it isn't available for a non-sasquatch Big Bend! I drive a company Ford Explorer with rubber flooring and AWD, and WOW, I love it! I also beat the 4 X 4 trucks off the line at a red light!
My dealer has assured me that they’ll set it in 4A for me when I take delivery. They also assured me they’ll do it for free.They have automatic wipers and high beams now too, i bet you’re a pro at those too huh?

Whew! That’s awesome, now there won’t be any confusion and you won’t have to labor yourself with the dial!My dealer has assured me that they’ll set it in 4A for me when I take delivery. They also assured me they’ll do it for free.
Those Nokian will make that thing a winter beast. I've run studless Nokian Nordmans the past 8 winters in Minnesota on an impreza and later an Abarth and they've gotten me a lot further in that Abarth than it has any right to get. Unfortunately not able to run studded tires hereYes I am, as it makes 6 months of the year much smoother during the freeze and thaw cycles we get a few times a winter. We also don't salt, do gravel and the snow pack starts in fall and doesn't melt until spring, so the roads are icy all winter long typically. Now most of my vehicles are AWD or have Auto 4x4 and it's just so much easier.
My F-150 stays in A4x4 from October to April every day all day and I switch to 4high in some certain situations when I anticipate the slight slip from the rear before the front kicks in. My Chrysler and Explorer are full time mechanical AWD and work flawlessly.
I also sun studded (Cooper) and studless (Blizzak) snow tires on everything I have. The only two vehicles I have with strictly 2wd/4x4 are my 02 Excursion and 97 F-150 Plow truck both of which hardly get switched to 2wd for half the year.
I'll be running 35" (315/70R17) Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 on my Bronco during the winter.
