What's your most under-used feature?

[HorizonHunter]

I'm hoping for things that people aren't using enough but would like to use more, if maybe others had ideas to help them with how they can be better used.

Car seats in the back, so bags full of diaper supplies on the molle panels

It wasn't stock but the BYOD rail on the dash, I put my phone up there once and realized carplay was good enough for navigation and picking music.

Lane keeping and ACC.
I get horrible gas mileage with the cruise on.

I wouldn't make a habit out of using 4-Auto on pavement either, you can feel it bind at times. It's most noticeable when moving around at low speeds in... say... parking lots.

turn the steering wheel and the transfer case disengages. It's automatic, and parking lots should be no problem for it.

Unless, of course, your transfer case is BROKEN--as so many of the 4A cases seem to have been from the factory.

Those are my most under used features i wish I did not have to pay for. I like to stay alert and make all decisions while driving by the seat of my pants. I enjoy driving cars, not to be driven by them. I guess, that's my driving style. Auto start stop for example should be something one can turn off once and forever. Re: adaptive cruise sontrol, in addition to be unreliable, radar inyerfears when one wants to mount a winch. Sensors used by the adaptive cruise control system may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, road spray, fog, direct bright light etc. Not to be trusted driving my kids around.

Not sure if you are into it, but if you put a GoPro or similar up there, it makes a nice point-of-view video.

If you have adaptive cruise control and didn't want it, I'm assuming you ordered the options package for other features you wanted, or maybe you just had to take what was available on the dealer's lot at the time.

If the sensors get blocked, a warning will appear and the adaptive cruise control will not engage (or will disengage). So far, I've only had one time when they were blocked, after playing off-road. At the time, if I had cared, I could have just wiped them off with my hand.

The auto start-stop won't ever be able to be permanently disabled as delivered from the factory, because Ford can't get the EPA fuel economy CAFE credit if it were.

REMOVABLE TOP!
I see so many broncos with their tops on when it’s beautiful outside. It’s a CONVERTIBLE! So sad

The transition between 110+ and too damn cold is about two weeks here. Might take the T-tops off next week as it should finally be in the 80s.

My Dad's new Explorer came with ACC. He hates it so much he just about returned the car to the dealership. I had to show him how to turn it off so that it behaves like normal cruse control.

Yet another reason I am glad I got the base interior package.

So far the most useless thing my Bronco came with was the satellite radio that expired after 3 months. I used it one time. In 6200 miles, I haven't used the cruise control either, but that has some value.

sounds like you need a mytop

Built in nav. Useless clutter without the subscription.

I'd like to use Sirius more often but the reception is always dreadful.

Thank you for reminding me that THIS is my least used feature, not those I listed in an earlier post. My top is never, ever coming down. Not even the panels. There are few things that I am more sure about. 11 years of JK ownership have taught me that there are mostly downsides in removable tops that are not offset by the very few upsides. Particularly with that egg carton contraption that Ford calls a "hard" top.

Love the seatback molles...I have bear spray, a first aid kit, a holster, a fixed blade knife, and a pouch holding a leatherman and extra ammo attached to them.

Can we see this setup?
