Heated Steering Wheel

[Cpc101]

I'll tell you I've never had a heated steering wheel, but a rental I had to drive to Toronto proved to me that one was needed. I hate a frozen steering wheel to begin with but my arthritic hands never had such luxury...

I'll take the whole LUX pack just for that. So worth it.

"Hey Ford I was going to buy your new Bronco but it didn't have a heating steering wheel, I'm out!"

All kidding aside, it is dumb. It is an available feature on other Fords, should be on the Bronco as well without all the other crap.

I got a lot of crap that a heated steering wheel was on my must-have list on my last car purchase. But as someone who developed Raynaud's syndrome later in life, I can say they are truly amazing. Don't want lux pkg, but looks like I'm gonna be a sucker on this one.

I wonder if a heated wheel can be added down the road with some help of Forscan? or is it a "hard" button on the dash vs a digital one?

There is a physical button right where the heated seats are I believe

Yeah that would make it harder to put an heated wheel on after the fact

I have been stewing about this for awhile, why the hell would you not want a heated steering wheel when you got heated seats?
Or why wouldn’t it be included? In the black Diamond Build it’s not even available becuse there is only the mid package available.

Makes no sense, except for Ford wants to juice the consumer a bit more?
Wont talk about the electric seats....

My Wife's 2017 Escape SEL has heated seats but no heated steering wheel...oddly enough its actually equipped better then my parents 2013 Escape Titanium in some regards, like a power seat on the passenger side, while my parents Escape is manual.

I think the electric seats are a weather/water proofing issue with the Bronco. Not sure how Jeep Handles it.

100% Heated steering wheel is a non negotiable with the wifey(she has two, other being heated seats). Think it's that whole women are always cold thing. Whatever it is, it leads to a $3k price tag I could live without.

Yep I hear ya, that’s why my wife’s sport has a heated steering wheel. It was also separate from the heated seats. I really think it is a way to get you to spend more money. ?

So with the Blue trim it would make me think this is a Black Diamond? BD don’t have that option? ?
It would be cool to be able to add it in later.

Don’t overthink pictures like this... especially one that we don’t know the date or location it was taken.

The early Broncos were notorious for mix and matching the parts they had on hand, irrespective of what the final packages were going to be
