Bronco's unexpected quirks. What'cha got!?

[CT203]

Door pockets man!

They stretch out and ultimately don’t work great. Poor / simplistic design. Again, my 2002 explorer was better in this one stupid tiny way

Most troubling quirk: the driver seat in my 2 door gets stuck in the forward position when slid forward. The bar refuses to lift so I can’t slide it back. Takes two hands and way more than a reasonable amount of effort and time to get it to return to a driving position. Hope I never need to get back in quickly after letting someone in back! (I’ll be seeing what the dealership can do about this as it’s likely an issue with a latch under the seat)

Sorry should have been a little clearer

Heat and warmth is not an issue, and when turned up you get plenty of air on the dash and defrost, and yes I do know you can turn them on and off individually

the issue I have is the amount of air between the lower vents for the feet vs the dash and defrost. dash and defrost are fine where the lower is anorexic

Each quirk should get it's own pinned thread so we can keep track!

I have a few including this one. Even if I have only chosen the floor vents, the majority of air is still blowing from the dash and defrost vents. It was 24F on the way to work today. My upper body was sweating while my left leg was still cold.

The placement of the speedometer is terrible. It is almost completely blocked if you drive with your left hand in the 10 o'clock position. It also only has the speed listed in km, not km and miles like almost every other car sold in Canada since the mid-1970's.

Why do you need to see the speedometer?

The solution to your problem is to move south

5) The super messy engine compartment (at least on the 2.7L)

Understood. On mine it don't seem terrible. I hate engine covers though, they mostly are just big hunks of plastic with razor sharp edges; ready to cut the weary shade-tree. I usually take the engine covers off to never put back on.

Once the Bronco goes electric, you won’t have to worry about a messy engine bay. It would make a great Yeti cooler .

I don't have my Bronco (being built today!) but in our Jeep Grand Cherokee, the ambient temperature determines if the heated seats/steering wheel/rear defroster turn on when you remote start.

Is there a menu setting where you can turn that on/off on the Bronco? That's my initial thought, but as I said, I don't have my Bronco yet for real world application.

There is but I haven't done a deep dive onto it. I think the choices are auto and whatever you chose last.

Today I learned the bit fits in the back of the ratchet.

But why make it a strange warped shape?

I also found out the hard way. Remote start from the FOB doesn't work unless you double click the lock button and hear the horn first. Never saw that mentioned anywhere, not even in the manual.

I press lock once and then the start button twice, works every time. The truck is already locked though, so technically I'm pressing lock twice, but no horn, as there's an entire night in between those to lock commands.

My seats and rear defrost are on when I remote start (I don't have heated steering wheel). I also haven't dug into it much. I know it isn't using the last settings, which is one of the options.

I'll look more into it at lunch.

Another, someone might have mentioned but... the gear selector on the console isn't illuminated.

It wasn't in my '18 Escape, either. Wasn't a fan of that, still not. But at least it's clearer and easier to see on the dash in the Bronco than the Escape.
