Got to take the wife's Bronco out in the PA snow over the past week. She has a 22 4 door Wildtrak. I had it in 4H and 4A and it was fantastic in both. I have absolutely zero complaints about how it did! Was an absolute blast to drive in the snow.

I have the steel bumper with sensors and they keep freezing over. This screws with the cruse control, crash alert, and parking zone alert. Disabled the truck for a few seconds at high speed on the PA turnpike in rush hour traffic.

Did you experience any of this?

I have had substantial amounts of ice on my sensors and the only thing it does is beep or turn off the sensors. I've also had my crash avoidance camera fail dozens of times but that only disables cruise control.

YES! 23 BL - only the Front sensors are freezing over. My wife has a 20 Palisade and hers does not do this at all. Also the rear Camera has ice "cycles" over it as well making it hard to view when backing up.

Same experience. Snow messes with the front sensors. Activates them. So I just disable them with the convenient button. Same when off-roading!

Honestly I’ve never driven a car in the snow that has sensors so don’t know how it compares to other cars. But it was a surprise

Bronco rear camera gets covered with rain and sleet rendering it next to useless. But it’s not a big deal. My VW GTI camera is hidden under the rear hatch VW badge that opens when in reverse. Nice feature, keeps the camera clear. The GTI has never been in the snow so no idea how the sensors fare in winter mountain weather.
