Well I have discovered some interesting changes between MY2023 BL and the 2024 BL. For reference, they are both Lux pkg, stretch (4dr). The '23 blend was 5/23/23 and the blend for the '24 was 4/9/24.
1st - window flap.
The new '24 significantly improved the response time for the window drop. On the 2023, the window drop didn't happen until after the lever pull disengaged the door latch. At that point, the window would drop but by then I'm pulling the door open so = widow flap. @RagnarKon has a good video tip on how to open the door but hold it closed for a second to avoid flap.
Now, 2024, the window drop happens as soon as you begin pulling the door lever, before the door latch even begins to disengage. As soon as I begin pulling the lever the window drop happens. By the time I have the door latch disengaged and open the door the window is out of the way. If I pull it really quickly, in a hurry, the window will still catch the seal/gasket but not nearly as bad. If I'm just normal or a touch lazy opening, no catch.
So it seems they've altered the window drop to happen as soon as you begin pulling the trigger. Curiously, the mid-cycle reprogram fix to drop all the windows when you unlock the fob does not work. Perhaps they feel they've corrected it enough with this change? Don't know.
And to be clear the window does not drop if you pull the door handle but the vehicle is locked. I assume so interlopers can't easily futz a coat hanger through.
I guess time will tell if this solves the problem, but so far it's a big improvement in my opinion over the way my 2023 functioned.
2nd - auto door lock.
My 2023 did not autolock the doors after you began moving. From other threads it appears that is typical.
Now, the 2024 does autolock the doors after you reach a certain speed. Sorry, I can't seem to remember to check the speed when it happens. (It's still brand new and I just realized this is happening). I'll update when I can determine the speed. I know it's not at 5mi or below as that is the speed I usually travel through my drive to the road. It happens after I turn on the road and begin to speed up.
***update autolock initiates above 12mph.
It auto-unlocks the doors when I stop and begin to open the door, instantly, no delay.
I forgot to check the settings to see if this is something you can enable/disable through the screen. I'll do that and update.
3rd - no rocks-to-bronco graphics.
It seems the graphic startup with the tumbling rocks transforming to the bucking bronc on the main screen is gone. It's now just a plain blue screen with silhouetted silver Bronco outline in the center. If you get in and don't start immediately the silver lined Bronco holds but seems to jump straight to functioning screen as soon as you start the vehicle. No fancy pants.
There is still the short graphic startup scene on the dash screen, just no main screen feature event.
There may be more little nuances. I'll update with any I find.
