Low speed cruise control!
Was driving home the other day, most of my commute is on the highway but due to snow and freezing rain the traffic was stop and go. I found out that by leaving it in first gear, the Bronco will happily putter along at a steady 7kph (~4mph)at engine idle speed. No throttle input, no clutch hop. Do the same in second and it’ll sit at 13kph (8mph). No need to accelerate only to have to brake and clutch in.
Even though I was stuck in slow moving traffic for the better part of half an hour, I only touched the brakes a handful of times. Thanks, 4.46 gears!
