All I have to compare with is a Jeep Sahara. To me, it seems Jeep is able to control the same functions with fewer buttons, knobs & switches, and just seems more ergonomic and intuitive.
Having the light controls at your fingertips on the steering wheel column seems more natural than having to reach for the dashboard. Just my opinion. Even the dash light dimmer and main interior dome light is controlled from that one steering column control.

Not to be rude, but what does it matter, honestly? I’m not getting the bronco for the ergonomics of the controls and I doubt anyone else is either. I know everyone likes to compare, but kind of splitting hairs here. Maybe you’re undecided on which one you want to get? Just curious.

Ford loves buttons that’s for sure. I refused to buy a Mustang GT because I absolutely hated the console interface. It’s cluttered and awful, I wanted no part of it.

Who needs all the light controls on a stalk? I have mine on "auto" and never touch the thing beyond that. Auto high beams cover most the rest, though high beams are still on the Ford stalk anyhow, so I guess that's equal.

So I was doing the calculations on the cargo area earlier today because Ford Authority updated info about the 4 door bed camping capabilities. Anyways it comes out that the approximate length from the back of the rear seats in the 2dr to the trunk door is 1.5 ft. On the 4dr this increases to just under 3 ft. Along with this Ford has stated the 4dr has almost 5 more cubic ft of passenger space so probably 4-6 inches more from seat back to seat back making the 4dr almost 2 ft longer than the 2dr.

Edit: found the dimensions on the website and the extra 5 cubic ft is literally from the hip and shoulder room. But that also makes the calculations match up with the 16" difference on total length between 2dr and 4 dr.

Also the Ford Authority article is jacked up as the author was stating sleeping dimensions of 6' 6" and then states you can put down the back seats to get even more. Uh no.
That was a little hard to follow... but I thought we had the actual dimensions from Ford in the tech spec for a while.

Yep, I was looking for those buttons also Zack. I mean even my lowly Ranger STX has a button for the fog lights. Maybe we can just tell the SYNC lady to turn them on........if I can get her to understand me. :)
My SYNC lady can never understand me when I ask her to play Led Zepplin on my 2011 F-150 Juke Box ?

I see that the OBX bronze dash has changed to now have a texture, and seems darker as well vs the old (2nd one below). Will want to see a picture with the new dash together with the roast cloth seats in the same frame to see how that looks now.

Look at that fit and finish! Lol. Luckily in buying for the capability/versatility and not a quality fit and finish/premium vehicle. ?

Any remaining hope that 33” tires are good enough was crushed by this picture.

Most of that is the perspective. In this pic, the difference doesn't appear nearly as big:

Looks like the controls that are on every other truck. Kind of bummed
I thought the same. The one letdown that is fairly common with many these days. The problem I have is that $50-60k should bring a bit more quality to this aspect. Again, challenges my decision considering my wife's Telluride was just $42k and is loaded with luxury. I realize, hardcore off-roading isn't in the Telluride's lane but it does just fine on easy off road trails and is absolutely amazing for typical daily driving and long highway trips. Guess I keep asking myself - how often am I really going to take advantage of the off-road prowess and is it worth it... Hence, still waiting to put in my order even with the dealer hounding me.
