Power folding mirrors.. not an option?

[BroncoFanBoy]

I haven’t read all the specs on the few highest trims bc I’m not looking at those. But what I have seen has manual folding mirrors as standard and I haven’t seen mention of an option for power.
I have 2 single car garage stalls , and power fold mirrors would be a very nice to have . You guys see anything abt this?

I haven’t seen any mention of this either. But is the bronco really too wide it won’t fit in a single stall with mirrors?

I agree 100%. It makes no sense why this is not an option. I use this feature from time to time and it would be nice to have. With my luck it will be a year 2 or 3 option.

I've seen Power Mirrors, but not power folding mirrors. There is a difference!

I’d love power folding mirrors. I’m not getting into my garage without folding them, so it’d make life way easier.

On mirrors: The photos show no convex spot mirrors (probably has a "objects are closer.." pass. side), this is good. On my '13 Explorer convex spots are on the upper outboard, horrid design. This is where you are looking for vehicles out and back not in and close, they get in the way. If present they should be low and inboard.

Absolutely a necessity for me!!!

When I pull into my garage the passenger side mirror will hit my garage door frame. If they are not power folding I would have stop, trans in park, ebrake on, lower window (in rain?), then climb across to manually fold the mirror.

I'm getting the Lux package and still no power folding mirrors listed, PLEASE FORD, this is so basic in 2021?

I second this for so many reasons vs why it shouldn't have them.

It might have to do with the way the mirrors are on the A-frame in lieu of the door. Ususally power folding mirrors fold in/open when you open/close the door. Now think about this with the setup on the Bronco. If your mirrors are folded when you open the door you would open it right into the mirror. There was a patent a while back about how the mirrors operate when you open and close the door but i have not seen these operate in person yet so I am not sure if it made it into the final product.

I will not mind getting out and folding them in. This beast is rugged.

I would be happy if they folded forward then

Yep, renamed thread. Thx

I was wondering about people complaining about the mirrors and hitting them on the trails. But they don't look like the stick out much further than the fender flares and remember, they don't move with the doors.

So with that in mind, is it still needed.

Yeah, but they only will fold back. If they folder forward, they would break off if you hit something.

I'm parking mine in an 8' single garage bay, because my wife needs the whole 16' garage door bay, to get her little Lincoln Corsair in. The Bronco does fit in my 8' door, and if it's a little bit tight, I can roll down the drivers window, to fold in just that driver mirror, from my sitting position.

Yeah it’s a convenience thing. But I don’t understand why they can fold back but not forward and would like.

A mirror folding back won’t break if you hit something, but folding forward would? Also I think every mirror is designed with the assumption that you don’t hit something.
