Hill Decent Control (on auto transmission) = the most quirky Bronco feature I learned from my Off-Roadeo experience

[Dimitar]

I have another to show you that will blow your mind. Switch to M1 in 4L.

I have yet to even try it, it seems entirely unnecessary.

Don't you have a manual?

I basically never use it in my auto either, but it's definitely a function that is more suited to an auto trans than a stick.

Moderate likelihood (manual assembly), but very low consequences. A button being inadvertently installed for a nonexistant function would never hit my threshold for "requires mitigation" on my P-FMEA.

Yeah, it would be swept under the rug either way. Keeping up with custom orders, and configurations is a nightmare in itself.

Yes, which makes it weird that it's more featured on the manual.

I am surely not understanding correctly but here's my question because I need some clarity.

It was my understanding that anything below Badlands even if sas'd did not get Trail One Pedal Assist only the trail cruse control feature. I have a '22 BD Sas and my center button shows only the cruse feature and not the cruse/one pedal icon. Do I secretly have one pedal? Do you need a Badlands and up to access this quirk you're talking about?

No clue why the image decided it was better off sideways

Advanced transfer case must be the difference. My BD has standard case and it has 1 pedal driving and with an auto trans it works great for crawling along or going down steep inclines without having to constantly be on the brakes. Not really needed with manual trans.

Do you have a 2.3 or 2.7?

2.7 non SAS

2.7 non SAS

Earlier in the thread it was linked that no matter what else you have 2.7 is the only engine that can have 1 pedal. I have a 2.3 so even though I have everything else including the icon on my center console button, I don't get 1 Pedal

Don't know about engines making a difference but my button has a different picture, no clock and I have the standard transfer case. I can set speed with it and if I don't set a speed it will stop when I let up on the throttle. This feature makes me dislike an auto trans less for trail use.

Call me old school but I ll run my accelerator and brake with the 2 feet I have. Using appropriate transfer case range and transmission gear selection is other ‘old school’ trick.

I see much of this electronic trickery as just more stuff that can fail; and Murphy’s Law states when it does it ll be at the worse possible time!!

Here’s to “Good 4 Wheeling”

Hill descent control and trail control seem to be, basically, the same thing. Anyone know what the difference is? Will HDC will only apply brakes? I know trail control not only applies brakes, but throttle to hold the set speed.

 

[dgorsett]

I can't think of a time on a trail when I wanted to maintain the same speed for more than a few feet, uphill, downhill or level. 4L M mode, and brake aat my discretion for me.

So does this mean that I don't have trail control?

Because my Bronco disagrees...

Sorry about the glare.

I just was pushing buttons in the garage. Switched it to 2h and it stayed in trail control

idk
