Automatic high beam dimming! Just discovered after 4 months.

I almost always default to on or off but succumbed to the vehicle defaulting to automatic and took me awhile to discover it as well. I'd much rather control my own lights however.Automatic high beam dimming! Just discovered after 4 months.
Seat belts are not adjustable up and down. I’m 6’ and if I lean left towards the door it comes across my neck. Could’ve easily been made to adjust up and down. #FAILWe took a trip to Colorado to take a break from the heat of Texas. The trip was amazing and the Bronco is awesome but there are a few issues.
1. As someone posted MGV seats have a big drawback. After a few hours of driving I stopped to get gas and as I got out I felt my butts was wet. After thinking I spilled a drink or something, I realized it was “Butt sweat” . Seats are very comfortable just don’t breathe.
2. Lane keep is worthless. My wife’s vehicle has lane centering and that’s awesome for long trips. Lane keep
3. Folding back seat down stops you from laying front seats back. The back seats in the Bronco are definitely an after-though. When folded down the floor isn’t flat and the bottom folds forward to get in the way of the rear. And they don’t remove easily for more space (like just pop out with a clip).
3. Bugs on windshield. I know, I know, it’s an upright windshield. I would just recommend getting the hood deflector when ordering the Bronco. Put one on after the trip, it make a huge difference.
4. Having to have rear door open ALL THE WAY to open glass. Even if the glass would clear the tire, the seal won’t let it open. Sucks when I’m tight spaces.
5. And last but definitely not least. What F’ed up cheap bean counter picked what wireless charger Ford uses. As most know, it’s useable andI’m sure bad for the phone.
Other than a few things, love the Bronco.
If y’all can think of something else, please post.
Can you post a picture of the hood deflector?
Agreed..... I've driven up that way. In New England driving is a contact sport.Turn signal? In New England? Never heard of them
How do you adjust it?As far as lane keep…it’s adjustable. You can make it more aggressive, and then it works really, really well. Out of the box it’s too weak, I agree.
Did that the first day. My gm has 60 presets. 30’s not enough to cover fm and Sirrius for me.You can set up to 30 presets.
Get to then CarPlay screen with all the icons. There will be a ford icon labeled sync. That will get you back to the standard ford sync screen, then you can touch the audio icon and switch source to fm.You have touched on a big one for me. How the hell do you go from CarPlay to the radio? Can’t figure it out!
I thought adjusts the vibration to let you know your near or going over, not how aggressively it steers back in to the lane…As far as lane keep…it’s adjustable. You can make it more aggressive, and then it works really, really well. Out of the box it’s too weak, I agree.
I did think of one other thing, no rain gutters, so water floods in when you roll down a window or open the door when wet!We took a trip to Colorado to take a break from the heat of Texas. The trip was amazing and the Bronco is awesome but there are a few issues.

The Aeroskin II deflector is subtle, but less effective... It's not on the left Bronco, and on the right one.1. Yup. First time wife got out on our trip she asked why her butt was wet. ”it’s the vinyl babe” Going to look on to a cooling ass-pad.
2. Was hoping it would be better. Still ok as I’m definitely a drifter on long drives, but it doesn’t soft correct like a lane centering system. Bummer.
3. Don’t like the look of a deflector, but yeah. Bugs and rock protection is a big deal.
I’d put that on a dark colored Bronco in a heartbeat. Fits in perfectly on your photo. For cactus gray I’d almost need something matching for it to not stick out horribly.The Aeroskin II deflector is subtle, but less effective... It's not on the left Bronco, and on the right one.
It's definitely helping a little, but still get lots of bugs at 75-80 MPH
Probably could paint one and then clear coat it for some durability.I’d put that on a dark colored Bronco in a heartbeat. Fits in perfectly on your photo. For cactus gray I’d almost need something matching for it to not stick out horribly.
Where do you find these hacks for swapping out the wireless charger? I posted asking about such a thing and got no response.1. I'm still beating the drum for beaded seat covers. They work. Angle one vent at your nethers and the cool air will circulate through the beads.
2. Increase the sensitivity to max. Works a bit better for drifting out of your lane but it's still not lane centering.
3. Yeah the bugs can be bad. I have had a bee wedged between the glass and frame for a month that the car wash can't get out. Still, I'll endure bug guts before putting that eyesore deflector on. @66GT found a sweet little travel squeegee that should probably be in every Bronco.
4. Wait til you have a hitch basket or trailer that prevents you from opening the gate all the way. Extra annoying. I just get used to ducking under, especially after I put the Bestop on.
5. I opted out of Lux but look up the hacks guys are doing to put stronger wireless chargers in it's place. Personally I'm going to find a phone holder/charger that hangs it over a vent because my phone won't charge for shit once it starts getting warm.
My XM radio signal is so bad I can’t listen to it. Cuts out constantly. That’s my only complaint
