I hope that button is for a sway bar disconnect or “articulation enhancer” as eluded to above.

I don’t see a button for the “dig/turn enhancement”. That graphic wouldn’t make sense for that feature.
I think it is automatically engaged when you put the Bronco into off-road mode, because you would need it off road when you turn the wheel full lock, and only then. But there are times off road you might go full lock and not want that, such and crawling.

appears to be a silver colored dash front, was hoping for something related to body color maybe? of course maybe it is a silver bronco, so could be. I like the red interior stuff on certain jeeps, but since I'd only get a red one that would technically have been body color....hopefully we get some colorful accents in here.

I like the articulation mode button on the left. Must be for the hydraulic fluid ride height system.
looks like Sway Disconnect

So everyone is blaming the lawsuit about the problems with the manual transmission built in China on just poor drivers?

Or are the Bronco manuals getting built somewhere else?

I’m holding out that the button does both then. Hydraulic articulation and sway bar disconnect! :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is something different than a conventional sway bar with a disconnect feature.

Imagine a conventional sway bar chopped in half with an electric or hydraulic motor attached to each end. These motors could mimic a sway bar on the highway and help simulate a solid axle off-road. Obviously it wouldn’t address IFS durability or travel issues but it could help with the “leverage” advantage that a solid axle typically has over a conventional IFS system.

i am starting to think the i4 might be the only engine. rip my hopes for the 2.7
Agreed. Or they are gatekeeping the 2.7/3.0 to the top trim level.

that is an interesting take on it, and seemingly appears to be fairly simple to engineer from a functional standpoint, maybe only difficult on getting it to react as fast as a true sway bar. But could use used for extra lift or articulation off road as well.

The next gen T6 platform was overhauled for many reasons but one of the main ones is that the overseas version was unable to accept V6 engines. I believe it had something to do with how it was assembled iirc.

Next gen Bronco is the first vehicle on this new platform.... you can draw conclusions from there.
