Reflecting on my first week of Bronco ownership I realized there are many more questions now than answers. Every vehicle offers different varied experiences. While I'm sure searching this forum would answer most of these questions sometimes the community conversation leads to a better appreciation of how others are experiencing their Broncos.
For background, I also drive an older 2017 Ford F350 Lariat and a 2021 Tesla Model Y. Talk about different vehicles, and they each provide a great ownership and driving experience.
From the last Ford purchase we now fast forward over 7 years in time, technology, and innovation and another enters the garage. Last week I brought home a 2024 Badlands SAS model with the High/Lux Package.
The list of questions is long, but I'll kick this off with the #1 question my wife and I are trying to learn and adapt to.
#1) What is going on with driver profiles in this vehicle? How are you adapting to the features offered?
* Where do you set up your driver profiles, add new driver profiles, edit driver profiles, etc? I'm not seeing this in the FordPass app or main vehicle screen.
* When approaching the vehicle is it capable of detecting the correct driver profile? (either by the mobile FordPass App or Key FOB)
* When leaving the vehicle is it capable of auto-locking?
* Can any of these items be automatically adjusted to the driver profile preference?
- Seats, easy entry?, steering wheel, mirrors, interior climate, heated seats, driving modes, phone contacts, navigation favorites and recents, audio/media/station/channel favorites, audio volume, etc.
Manually adjusting all of these things for each different driver every time would be a significant letdown and hoping we're just missing something.
