New videos show off Bronco Trail Turn Control + testing manual in sand

[Southern Girl]

Here are some videos from Vaughn Gittin Jr and Loren Healy doing some testing of the Bronco.

And a video of the manual in sand (Also 2.3 sounds kinda good for what it is)

Nice to know I will be able to drive down my road when it's not rainy season.

Does the manual come with trail assist?

nothing they demonstrated so far precludes the manual

Thank you for sharing!

Is that the 3rd tube door behind the passengers?

Roll Bar on early camo testers with the freak giant squared off fabric roof. If you go through the Rubicon and Moab videos' on Bronco Nation (and here probably) you will notice that ugly roof being torn off bit by bit to reveal roll bar in heat. Early real world angle tester I would guess - saves the itchy fiberglass shatter if it does roll.

Thanks for sharing. The other day, I was taking a deeper diver on the Trail Turn Assist. Couldn't figure where on the Hero Bar the button was located. In the 2nd video, it looks like it is the 3rd one in from the left which doesn't coincide with other still photos on other Trail Turn threads. I suppose we just chalk it up to Franken-Broncos are all built different.

On the Filson Bronco it’s the third switch from the right. Don’t know if that one is closer to production or not either, of course.

Beautiful shot !!!

Can’t wait to see the burn marks in Walmart parking lots from new Bronco owners playing with this feature.

Was hoping that switch was integrated into the drive selector dial. Am going to be immensely irritated if i get the missing/blank space in my manual Badlands hero switch area

Trail Turn is neat - but I don't know that (a. I'd use it that much, or (b. it's worth giving up the manual for. On that note, I'd love to know why Ford says it's incompatible with a stick - my guess is it's merely a marketing trick to get folks into the 10-speed.

Only on the 2.7L 10sp Auto.

Edit Update: Available on both the 2.3L/2.7L 10sp Auto. It is not available on the Manual Transmission.

Does the manual come with trail assist?

Just the auto

according to this article, the trail turn assist is available on 2.3 and 27 auto.

All of you need to watch the 1st video again (starts at 0:17). The 2D is a Manuel AND they do the Trail Turn Assist!!!! Granted, FoMoCo CURRENTLY doesn't list it as being available, but it will work with the Manual.

This doesn't have to turn into a Zapruder film analysis. But there is nothing in the first video that shows it is a manual. There are 3 Broncos and 3 video clips. The first 2 clips demonstrate the Trail Turn Assist. The 3rd video features the clutch drop at 3500 rpms. The first video shows a 2-dr. The Bronco in the 3rd clip is a 4-dr. The 2nd video has the back seat cage that isn't in either the 1st or 3rd video.

That’s exactly what I saw and it confused me.

So how’s this thing going to work when used in the mall parking lot?
