What's your most under-used feature?

[rdg04578]

Built in nav. Useless clutter without the subscription.

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

I have avoided that whole situation and use OnXOffroad app on my phone through android auto which provides google earth type maps Just remember to down load off line maps where you are going if there is no cell service--which is just about everywhere off here.

I figured this could be a thread where we help each other with ideas. Post a Bronco feature you feel you aren't using enough and others can provide some ideas with how to use it better.

I'll start with: Molle panels. The idea of this sounded cool to me, but I haven't been able to think of how I should use them. What kinds of things are people attaching to the backs of the front seats? And if I got the Molle panel accessory for the tailgate, what should I put back there?

THE REAR CUPHOLDERS!

The disconnect bar on my BL. That button will only be pushed by accident. I bought the BL because of the look and interior trim levels. My extent of off roading is done n the sandy east coast shore ( surf fishing). The severe off reading is alien to me.

When spring hits, top comes off and doesn’t go back on until late fall!!

laughs in southwest desert weather. Too much dust storms, too hot, etc. Right now it's decent weather to take them off for a bit

Sirius radio

I really wish Ford would let us customize in the settings which audio sources we want displayed. I would just remove Sirius entirely. I would have been willing to subscribe, but I have no interest in paying to listen to '90s-quality MP3 audio. The music should sound better than FM radio (not to mention HD radio!), not worse.

I thought I would take the top off and leave it off for most of the year…haven’t taken it off…I don’t daily drive it around town (where I want no top)…my Model A is much more fun around town…most of my trips take me into the Hot/cold/foggy valley (where I want a top)…no place to put the top if I took it off once I get to the mountains (where I don’t want a top)…then the trails are too hot and dusty to not have the top on in my old age…what I really need is a powered soft top that folds all the way down on my 2 door…yes, I am seriously turning into a wimp…

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.

You didn't feel the nostalgia of hearing songs just like how they were shared on Napster?

I struggled with this too and used this post as inspiration. The Yeti Sidekick is a great addition to the Molle panels for stashing small gear. You can then 'sling' it on if you're walking about like to watch your kid's soccer game in my case. Snacks, water, phone, wallet, keys, and other things are then close at hand.

When I have offroaded, the goat modes can be really useful when you're in the right terrain, but I've found the sway bar disconnect to be the least used item.

I really like the Yeti cup holders.. Might have to scoop me up a pair. My kids water bottles never fit in the arm-rest cupholder so that would be a perfect solution. Do they attach pretty easily?

I’ve wondered if there’s a FORScan option to disable it. I’ve never looked into it, just wondered.

It's not documented, but I would imagine that it would be possible if one could figure out where. But Ford should make almost everything that currently requires ForScan to be a feature in Settings.

I have to say the 18oz yeti water bottle holder i have didn’t fit at all. The larger ones might and this image looks to be those.

Yeah my kids have several different sizes, So I would probably size up and do the large. Loving the idea though.
