According to GoogleI agree on using engine braking on steep terrain. Having driven in the snow a lot of my life, slow and steady is the way to go and you're actually better off to let the vehicle roll faster to maintain some steering rather than step on the brakes to slow down, because once you lockup, all is lost. Does the Bronco have a hill descent control? If so, what does that do exactly? (I've never had a vehicle with that).
Slow and steady also works going up hill and sometimes, momentum is king for some climbs. Many times on snow covered city streets, I've cursed drivers who don't realize this and stop on a hill for some reason, or folks coming down, not getting out of the way to provide right-of-way to someone climbing up, or worse, someone backing out of their driveway while you're trying to climb the street and they kill your climb.
Available Hill Descent Control is essentially a cruise control system that uses traction control technology with anti-lock brakes. 10. This system continually adjusts braking pressure to help control slippage and maintain a constant preset speed while you are going down a steep grade.
