Trail Toolbox

Bronco offers three available trail technologies to elevate the outdoor experience – Trail Control, class-exclusive* Trail Turn Assist and Trail 1-Pedal Drive.
*Class is Medium Traditional Utility.
One-Pedal Drive is an extra driving aid. It does not replace the driver’s attention and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. See owner’s manual for details and limitations.

    Trail Turn Assist

    This class-exclusive* feature assists the driver by reducing the vehicle’s turning radius in low-speed, technical off-road environments that require large steering input. This is accomplished through application of negative (brake) torque to the inside rear wheel of the turning vehicle. Trail Turn Assist heightens off-road fun by reducing the driver’s effort required to negotiate difficult off-road terrain.

SYNC® 4

The all-new Bronco™  SUV has a standard SYNC® 4 System. The Bronco SYNC® System comes with an eight-inch screen or the class-exclusive, available 12-inch screen. * SYNC® 4 will rely heavily on the cloud. However, it will still retain on-board processing power to minimize performance issues in dead zones – meaning your road trip is in good hands even when you go off the beaten path. **

*Class is Medium Traditional Utility.

**Don’t drive while distracted or while using handheld devices. Use voice-operated systems when possible. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones.

Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology

Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology offers a number of available driver-assist features.

360-Degree Camera with Off-Road Views

The available 360-degree camera utilizes front-, rear- and mirror-mounted cameras to provide a full bird’s-eye view around the vehicle. Included with the class-exclusive* 360-degree camera are the unique off-road spotter views that help provide additional visibility and support to drivers in their pursuit of outdoor adventures like rock crawling. One is the unique off-road tire views (shows you both front and rear tires) that are specifically designed to see where the tires meet the ground surface along with any adjacent obstacles or potential contact points that Bronco is driving over. The other is off-road overlays. Using the front camera, off-road overlays show the path that the wheels will be traveling in order to help drivers navigate their way across rugged terrain.10

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

We should all drive defensively, but sometimes other drivers’ lack of attention can create a hazard. This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact becomes imminent and you don’t take corrective action, the brakes can apply automatically. But don’t worry – they’ll only activate if they’re needed.10 *
*Pre-collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking detects pedestrians, but not in all conditions, and can help avoid or reduce a collision. It does not replace safe driving. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

We’ve all been there. Heading into a pitch-black stretch of road and having to turn on the high beams – then forgetting to turn them off again as oncoming traffic approaches. Now, unlit roads, dark peripheries and other low-visibility situations don’t have to catch you off-guard. Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They can even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus – and both hands on the wheel.10
