Unclear what "standard" features are in all models

I was wondering about the perimeter alarm. What exactly is it and is it for sure on the base.

You need to read the order guide.

I was wondering about the perimeter alarm. What exactly is it and is it for sure on the base.

It’s definitely mentioned in here… I remember scrolling by it:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/owners-manual-for-2021-bronco-download-here-.17439/

And it’s listed as standard on the Base. I posted the screen cap earlier in this thread.

The only thing the manual mentions is the remote start won't work if the perimeter alarm is sounding. There's no mention of what it is exactly. Also, there is a perimeter alarm available as an accessory, which makes me wonder why do they sell it as an accessory if it comes standard on all models.

I did find this but still confused as to why it's offered as an accessory: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/F...&userMarket=GBR&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False

Well, I can see the first thing I'm doing when I get my Bronco home is to download the FORSCAN modules and start disabling stuff.

From the packaging guide:

Base:

Ford Co-Pilot360™ technology − Auto High-Beam Headlamps − Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection and Forward Collision Warning with Dynamic Brake Support − Rear View Camera with backup assist grid lines

Mid package:

Ford Co-Pilot360™ — Auto High Beams — BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert — Lane-Keeping System (Lane-Keeping Aid, Lane-Keeping Alert, Driver Alert System) — Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection and Forward Collision Warning with Dynamic Brake Support — Rear View Camera with backup assist grid lines

So, looks like Mid package is adding BLIS and lane keeping system.

Have you ever had a car with automatic braking. It shouldn’t be super noticeable unless you’re a bad driver.

We're discussing limitations imposed on drivers while we're in the woods or rock crawling. Sorry if you misunderstood.

Mid size Bronco does not have lane centering or Stop and Go ACC available like the little sport does.

Thank god. Those both sound annoying and I have no interest in paying for them.

I’ve off roaded way back in the mountains with two vehicles with automated emergency braking. I think it’s helpful to realize it’s not for low-speed accident mitigation. It uses a camera to slow your speed by 10-15 miles an hour in the event of a high speed collision.

Before I turned it off, my Ram 1500 used to panic brake every time I tried to back into my driveway because it detected the transition from the asphalt street to the concrete driveway as "OMG! He's trying to back me into a wall!"

That might have been resolved in a later software update, but I wouldn't know since I turned it off and haven't turned it back on since. I don't hit things backing up anyway, so it was a kind of useless feature.

That does sound annoying. I will admit that I’ve never had reverse automatic braking. The Bronco doesn’t mention it, so I’d assume it doesn’t include it. Radar/Lidar has proven to be problematic and vision-based systems seem more intuitive somehow.

I know this is a old post but I was wondering the same, here is my Window sticker for Base Bronco. Love the base with sasquatch, just the basics,

Yes, those documents are unclear. They say the base includes:

• Ford Co-Pilot360™ technology − Auto High-Beam Headlamps − Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection and Forward Collision Warning with Dynamic Brake Support − Rear View Camera with backup assist grid lines

But it also says those are added in the mid package. So I'm confused. A window sticker would help.

Ford is weird in how they describe things. Yes, Ford Co-Pilot360 is STANDARD for all Broncos. The capability of Ford Co-Pilot360 is different. For the MID+ package they say the following: notice the difference? They are essentially very long SKU ID's. One includes BLIS, Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System the other doesn't.

• Ford Co-Pilot360™: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and Rear View Camera with Backup Assist Grid Lines

Why are you responding to a post from 2.5 years ago?

I sure hope OP got this figured out and wasn't waiting around for someone to answer.
