I use the Bronco audio system a lot less than in my other vehicles ... because it sounds mediocre. (Something I'm in the process of addressing.)

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?
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.

Ford Bronco What's your most under-used feature? 4a76d7f9-7422-4907-83b0-db91645834f5-jpe


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.

Have you or anyone had issues with rear seat passengers banging knees or whatever on the plastic/molle seatbacks? Especially with my 2-door and people moving in/out sometimes in contact with the seat backs, I had concern people would be knocking against them, but maybe that's not an issue?

Trail cruise control is reallllllllllly nice between features
This has been my least used feature as well. Now that I’ve done Off-Roadeo a couple of weeks back, I may use more often on steep declines.

I like that many of these tech features are there, but I think navigating the challenges while off-road is part of the fun. Of course, there are many a damaged rig from guys screwing up and costing a ton to fix. Some say that’s part of the fun as well, but I’m not rich, so no. :cautious:

One of the Bronco's curiosities: why doesn't the two-door have this? I probably wouldn't use it, but it struck me as strange that this most generic thing would be model-specific.
We 2 Door owners drank our beers proper; outta can.

No fancy glasses and sniffers for us! :ROFLMAO:

I really appreciate the airbags being less sensitive than they are for normal on road driving, and ABS/Traction control being OFF OFF with the driving modes. But that cruise control is great. If you like normal cruise control it only makes sense you’d like it on the trail too

I replaced it with Sport using FORScan. I believe it only lets you have seven modes available.
That's a good idea but I already have Sport so maybe delete and add Baja for some high speed beach running :crackup:

My 8 yo son sits in back but nobody else. He hasn't complained.

The analog speedometer
Useless. So is the digital one if you drive from the US to Canada and want kph. You'd think it would be the setting in the menu, but that doesn't change it.

This is true but unfortunate. An analog tach and speedometer would be much better than what we have but ford will see this and eliminate the only remaining analog gauge.

On my recent cross country trip, trail turn assist was the only feature I didn't use pretty much. Also my winch.
