Auto Start-Stop Eliminator for Bronco is now available

[spyderman01]

I don't know how the Ford system works, but in my Jeep, I keep the temp as low as it will go so it never shuts off without pushing any button. Helps that it's always so hot here the AC is needed!

I would check with your dealer if this is a big deal. Ford is currently crediting some customers $50 for the auto start/stop delete when ordering.

i asked my dealer about an ASS delete and never heard back.

Feel we’re gonna need to have a talk, them and I

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?

Normally I would agree with you, but after going to the Off Roadeo in Texas in July and having to remember to hit that button otherwise AC would turn off, I want something a little more permanent than having to remember to hit the button.

You can't remember to hit one button?

Why would I want to keep remembering to hit a button?

I agree totally. On a normal day, I would remember to turn the stupid thing off, but if I am out of my routine - something like if forgot something in the house, I know I would forget to turn it off. I will be buying this no questions when I get my BB...next year with any luck.

Apparently, it is 2021 after all.

We are all on track to be like the humans in Wall-E

OMG, Post Rona Prediction at its finest!!!! Nicely done.

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)

OMG all that extra activity must be so stressful..... having to press 3 or 4 buttons?! who would have thunk it?

There are now a lot of buttons to push in a Bronco

theres videos on youtube showing you can disable start/stop if you have the trailer package. just buy a trailer hitch wire tester off amazon for $10 and plug it into your hitch by the rear bumper. it makes the vehicle then think you have a trailer attached and disables start/stop. They showed it working on a F150

Didn't someone mention that if there's something plugged into the 12V 'cig. lighter' port in the back, that the Auto-stop/start won't turn on? Guess if I'm too lazy to use my finger, I'll buy a bronco night light and plug it in there.

It's that big of problem for you to remember to hit one button? Seriously . I weep for society. We really are heading to a society like in Wall-E

So many people saying “you can’t spare a second to hit one button”. For me it’s not about the time spent pushing a button.

It’s because the few times I forget to push the button I don’t realize it the damn thing is still active until right when the red light turns green. Now it’s my turn to go and my dumb auto shutoff engaged and I’m the asshole sitting at a green light not moving. Damn you auto shut-off!

I swear that sometimes auto shutoff is programmed to pick the worst time to go off when you’re stopped at a controlled intersection. I don’t mind the technology if I’m at a drivethru though.

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.

The tailgate step on a one ton 4x4 is a godsend, on a half ton not so much but still handy. Especially if you are in and out of the bed several times a day, like with a work truck.
