I don't know why this is a difficult concept to understand. It lets you focus on steering the vehicle in complex terrain. Why would anyone use cruise control on the highway - you can just press the accelerator and do the same thing.
LOL...I'm not having any difficulty understanding how it works. I just can't see why anyone would want it or feel like they need it. The Bronco performs perfectly fine in downhills just using Crawler gear. I've used it extensively, in more hairy situations than most will ever go. Yeah you need to pay attention to what you're doing, and occasionally need to bump the throttle or the brake depending on the terrain, but it's really not that hard to do. And if you can't do that, you probably shouldn't be on those types of trails. But to each their own. Carry on.
I completely get what you're saying. I don't see many occasions that would require me to use it. like you, I'll use the crawler gear. but I can see someone like my wife using it. She's terrified of steep inclines, almost to the point of freezing up. When we stay in a cabin in the mountains, she usually closes her eyes. However, there have been times due to the number of people in our party that she had to drive on those steep roads. And she isn't as good at driving a stick as I am. I can definitely see her engaging this, to make it easier on her.
