See my note above...my 2020 Ranger has start/stop. I hate the body rattle each time it starts back at a stop light. But, I endure it because remembering to push the button is annoying.Like I said my 2017 car did not have it and if it had I would not have bought it. I see the Tremor also doesn’t have it. The Bronco and the F150 are the only new cars I know to have it.
Wow! Thanks for sharing...other than opening up the dash in my new truck, it is exactly what I would like to have.Search “autostop eliminator” on the web, they already made one for the sport. Actually I’ll do one better, here’s the link.

Well, why tear your dash apart? the one for the '21 Ranger (AKA Bronco) is plug-N-play.Wow! Thanks for sharing...other than opening up the dash in my new truck, it is exactly what I would like to have.
It's easy enough to remove several different ways, easiest and permanent is forscan. If it works with the bronco, which it should. Had it in my '17 F150, and it never bothered me.My 2020 Ranger has capability to turn off the start-stop operation. But, once I turn the engine off and then restart, this function resets. It is annoying. There is probably an ODB2 program that can turn it off permanently. I thought I read that the Bronco can be turned off.
Maybe I misunderstood something? It said to pull the radio and install the adapter between an existing cable connection. (Some sort of inline (serial) programmer or wiring that establishes permanent state change for the device. I was hoping for an ODBII programmer.Well, why tear your dash apart? the one for the '21 Ranger (AKA Bronco) is plug-N-play.
Hell, I just looked at the cable on the desk and didn't watch the vid, it looked like a OBDII adapter. No way I want to open up the dash in the Bronco.Maybe I misunderstood something?

its mandated now, and if you care that much dont buy a car with it. Or just hit the button like everyone elseOkay so I save a whole $1.50 a year? Why am I suppose to care as the consumer, I would greatly prefer my engine running and my take-off unaffected, and my car not to sound like a pile of s&$t.
I don’t have to buy a vehicle with auto start stop, more like be glad consumers actually put up with that crap.
I think you overestimate the number of people who care about this.Yep, we get to pay for oversized starters, batteries, whatever they do to get around burning up the automatic transmissions (if equipped) when they stop the pump and let the hot transmission oil heat soak the internal bits, etc. All so Ford can get some minor credit against C.A.F.E. for a feature that most everyone hates and turns off almost 100% of the time.
How is it intrusive? LolIt’s like getting stuck in a 1980s Jalopy, not sure if it will turn off at the stoplight. I have never seen a single stop-start system that wasn’t intrusive, in any brand vehicle. They are universally horrible. I’m thankful my 2017 car doesn’t have that crap.

Two of my cars have this (Volvo XC90 and Ford Transit)...literally no issues at all. Like, it doesn't even factor into my thoughts, which causes me to wonder why so many people care.
I am ordering a MT Bronco, so maybe the manual will interact differently, but I can't see why people want their car to run when they are not moving, aside from air conditioning is legit in stopped traffic.

It looks like depending on the vehicle, installation varies. Some plug in line with the button (requiring you pull dash trim) and others plug in line with the obd2 port (not requiring dash trim removal).Hell, I just looked at the cable on the desk and didn't watch the vid, it looked like a OBDII adapter.
