Lux Package, Why Can’t I Quit You?

[Burndog]

I don't mind the subscription as long as it includes OTA updates. I live in DC from Houston and both places are always building new roads and freeways. My current can't get OTA updates and there are times my nav has no clue where I am.

OTA Updates, standard, all models with Sync4. No worries there. Matter of fact, expect them regularly.

The Apple CarPlay is wireless?

Yes. Apple CarPlay is wireless in this version of the ford software. Super Cool!

Mid package has everything you need. Wireless charger you can have on a phone mount, speakers you can upgrade for a lot less, and all the other things are nice to haves.

Who am I kidding, I'm jealous. Live it up.

I just can't live with going over $50k for a vehicle. 2.7l BD Sasquatch w/ mid package gives me everything I could want. Bluetooth and Android auto is the only requirement for me.

Don't forget the Garage Door Opener.

yup... silly decision, Ford...and for a few bucks and a shipping address, Amzn will send you a rear view mirror or sun vizor install kit with a Homelink garage door opener system. I can't see popping huge bucks for Lux and thats the only real feature of daily importance. Crazy that it's standard in so many vehicles, but you must go full $pend to get it in a Bronco.

I feel like this is only a flex if you’re also getting manual

Fortunately if you live in a climate that's actually meant for human habitation, you don't need a heated steering wheel

I live in FL and I didn't park in my car port last night - had to scrape off the ice so I could drive to work this AM.

Florida doesn't qualify as "meant for human habitation" when it comes to summer As far as scraping ice off your car most of us in the "north" have garages for a reason.

It was a surprise. It wasn't even frosty out.

I don’t understand having the garage door opener... I had it on a previous vehicle and then the power went out at my house and when it came back on it didn’t work.... give me the remote and I’m happy just saying.

The big draw to Lux for me is the B&O system. ACC, heated steering wheel, wireless charger come next as nice to have, then everything else is fine to have too.

What pushed me to change from High to Lux was the additional information about Connected vs Connected Built-In navigation. I use the turn by turn Nav in my BMW more than Google maps or Waze and I would like to retain that option past the 90 day trial that comes with the Connected navigation.

See Packaging Guide pdf page 10 if you are unaware of the differences between the 2 nav systems.

I also decided to add it since I already have 3 of the potentially commodity constrained options (2.7, Sas, 2DR), so what's one more?! Feeling good about my decision because I'm getting everything that I have wanted and I'm not worrying about the added cost.

In for Lux here primarily for ACC and B&O, but preparing myself to be disappointed in ACC since it may not have Stop & Go.

I haven't seen confirmation that it would plus the Ranger does not, which could likely mean the Bronco doesn't too.

Does anyone know for sure?

For reference, here are the different levels of ACC Ford makes: https://www.ford.com/technology/driver-assist-technology/adaptive-cruise-control/

I had a rental with ACC and Stop and Go a couple months go. It was unnerving trusting the vehicle to do everything. I'm okay not getting ACC for the same reason I want a manual transmission. I prefer driving the vehicle, not being driven. But to each their own.

Despite my opinion, I can tell it's a cool feature. With where cars are headed, the bronco will probably be the last vehicle I purchase without that technology so I'm just being stubborn.

Lux with a manual is the Chad spec, for sure.
