Edit: It is becoming obvious that there are more mom-mobiles and board room execs than actual wheelers on this message board because y'all are missing the point. Its clear that some of you have never had a newer vehicle disable itself 50 miles from a paved road because of a superfluous airbag deployment. Believe me, if you actually off road seriously, having minor damage disable your vehicle unnecessarily is a legitimate and potentially fatal issue that seems to be overlooked.
I tried to use the search feature and found nothing addressing this question.
What sort of "safety" features does the Bronco have that are capable of disabling mechanical operations?
I know that many new cars with all this "unnecessary tech"
will often kill the fuel pump, engine, call on-star, and send a message to your insurance provider to tell them to jack your premiums whenever the on board computer identifies an impact (or catches someone texting....)
Now, I have laid over or rolled more than a few trucks doing silly stuff over the years and often its no worse than rolling it back over and doing a quick bumper/fender field repair and kicking out some glass before we are on our way again. EDIT: back to civilization and a place to do proper repairs.
Is that sort of jackrabbit engineering still a reality? If I'm back40 in the bush, is my pony going to tell me its done having fun after I let it take a quick dirt nap on its side because some "safety feature" told the truck that an accident happened and shuts it down?
