Apparently, it is 2021 after all.

Oh man, don't get me started. I think the new truck ads are funny. The "fold down ladder" because people lack the basic fitness to climb into the bed of their $60K truck. LOL.

Now pushing a button is too much for folks. Feathering the brake at a stop to eliminate the start-stop is just too much effort.

Why spend the money for this when all you need to do is hit the button on the dash? Is hitting a button that much of a pain for everyone?

Kind of.
My wife's SUV is the first car I've driven that has this.

My steps getting in the car now include a lot of button pressing
Press button for auto seat adjustment, Click seatbelt in, Choose my music, hit the auto-start stop, adjust A/C

Takes too long to get going lol
Taking 1 step out of the equation, while miniscule, adds up to loads of stress-relief over time

(Edit: I'm literally getting the door keypad just to avoid the step of bringing my keys with me everywhere I go. My home is a smart home that minimizes the need to manually do things, if that helps to understand how I roll)

Not overweight or lazy. Just a big fan of the "work smarter, not harder" mantra

This will work for me & it's free

Or maybe you just don’t want to deal with something that irritates you every time you turn on your bronco. Perfectly understandable. It doesn’t bother me much, but I get it.

On my Raptors, I simply unplug it under the dash on driver's side. Betting the Bronco is same way. Same plug disables the trailer lights, but it takes 2 seconds to plug it back in if I need to tow. No check engine light will come on when unplugged either.

I know there's a button on the dash. In my wife's Lincoln, that only opens a 'settings' page on the screen - then you touch again to deactivate ASS. Is Bronco like that....or does one touch do the trick?

I confirm from playing with it on a test drive that one touch turns it off. I left it on for part of the drive but also had the AC running and the truck never turned off for me despite a fair amount of stop and go.

Also, you can run in Sport mode and that disables auto-start (It does on my Base 7MT, not sure about auto trans)

That's the first thing I think of when people complain of doing the simplest things. At least all this laziness will pretty much guarantee me a job as a nurse. . My guess is that many who can't hit one button are the same people that go through a drive through instead of walking in or taking the elevator instead of taking the stairs

The comments are funny. You guys do realize that these are set up for modifying. There will be folks that modify in a variety of ways that you will have no interest in doing or think are silly. How about be happy that there are vendors supporting our brand and model? If you don't care for the mod, just click 'back' and find something that you have more interest in.

Damn, I was hoping this was about Ford offering this option like others have in recent years.

Oh well, it’s good that there’s an AF option at least.

There is value in not having to mess with flashing and reflashing via Forscan, ie to return it to stock before warranty service

There is no "flashing" of anything, you are not altering anything in the PCM, you are making simple changes to the BCM that is NEVER scanned for any warranty work, I've yet to find a dealer who even know that you can get in there any make changes.
