Do you Have 360+ on your Bronco Sport

[RushMan]

When I ordered my BS Badlands, I decided to go with the 360+ option. All my previous cars were purchased fairly bare bones, and I decided to splurge a bit on this one.
When a friend started looking for a Badlands to replace his wife's Escape, he also wanted the 360+ option, but could not find a Badlands with 360+, at least not within 100 miles.
Recently, I looked at all of the Bronco Sports on the lot at the local dealers, including BB and OBX trims, and none of them had the 360+.
Just how rare is this option? Just a curiosity sparked by my friend's desire for a Badlands with 360+. He and his wife didn't want to order one and wait, like I did (5-1/2 months between order and delivery, in my case). I also wonder if the 360+ was the holdup for the long wait time - chip shortage and all that.

Edit: Before I posted this Poll, I did a forum search on 360+ and didn't find much. Then after the Poll got posted, links to related threads show up at the bottom of the page.
I appreciate your responses and the discussion. This poll is for my own curiosity only. It is not being used for any marketing for any dealership or other entity.

All Bronco Sports have Co-Pilot 360, and this poll is about the extra cost Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ Option package.
Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist +
- Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering and Speed Sign Recognition
- Evasive Steering Assist
- Voice Activated Touchscreen Navigation

I got my BB with 360+ off the lot last March.

I don’t know if this is true but back then, it felt as if dealers could order what they wanted to sell. This dealer would continue to carry BBs with 360+ but not the Convenience Package. If I had that, I’d be a very happy camper.

Yes, that's true. Dealers will order cars for their stocks, with the trims and options that they think will sell the best in their region, and bring them the best profit margin.
But foremost, I am curious how many people have it, whether they ordered it or not.

I didn't ask for why's and wherefores in this poll, but everyone should feel free to explain if you ordered it, didn't order it and it just came on the vehicle as part of a package, or if they really wanted it.

While window shopping for my friend, I did see that many Badlands had the Premium package. I didn't want the Premium package because it included leather seats. That was one thing I did not want. The Build and Price lists the sunroof option as a separate item, which misleadingly requires leather. I'd like a moonroof but I'd rather do without than have leather.

Back on topic, now that I have the 360+, I really like it. Initially it was a great way to get a feel to driving on narrower streets and positioning the car without being too close to parked cars. It's a great learning tool to get a feel for the size of the car.

What’s it called?

I really don’t like that they called the basic as Co-Pilot 360. That tells me there’s a lot of features, not just cruise control.

Longtime lurker, first time poster.

Based on my experience of looking between OCT23 and JAN24 it was very difficult to find a used Bronco Sport Badlands with the 360+ package in regions of SC, GA, and FL. I was surprised I could find numerous badlands that had all options except that one. The option did seem to be more readily available on Outer Banks models however, I wanted the 2.0 L.

Anyone with this package that is patient and tech savvy I would recommend looking at the comma 3x by comma ai. In my opinion using this device in the non-experimental mode makes the stock autonomous features much better. I only used sunny pilot because the open pilot did not initially work for me. Out of the box you can anticipate issues and poor customer support but, if you are self-sufficient and tech savvy it works wonderfully when you get it setup properly.

My 2023 BL has the 360 assist+. I bought it off the lot that way. I was able to negotiate a really good price so I didn't mind but I wouldn't order one with it or require it on a new purchase. It's pretty cool tech but I don't think it's worth the $895 sticker price.

I bought Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ primarily for the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

I disabled Speed Sign Recognition and Lane Centering because I found these are too dangerous for city street driving and in construction zones on freeways.

I also disabled Lane Keeping (Ford Co-Pilot360) because I don’t like its behavior.

 

[Mrmike]

I got it primarily because I wanted the adaptive cruise control. I do like the other features also.

Ford creates even more confusion across product lines. The Maverick offers Co-Pilot 2.0.

In 2021, I ordered a 2022 Maverick XLT awd with 360 assist+. The dealer called me 2 months after to tell me it might be a year before I got it if I kept that 360 assist+ on the order. I refused to take it off and at the same time I saw this same dealer had a 2022 Bronco Sport Big Bend on order that also had the 360 assist+ added so I traded my Maverick order for their Bronco Sport order. I took possession on 31 Jan 2022. I really like the feature and use it all the time. I am on a lease and I'm starting to look for a replacement in a few months, hopefully a Heritage with 360 assist+ will be available when I get ready to turn in. I'll take a Badlands only if the price is right.

That is 358+ less than 360+ ?

Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0 also includes: (on some vehicles)

• Wrong-way alert. This feature uses cameras and sensors to detect if the vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction and alerts the driver.

You're missing a trim option; Free Wheeling

My '24 FW has 360+, ordered that way.

I still think Ford or Underground Graphics should offer a Woody version. I'd like to see it, but wouldn't have one for myself.

It wasn't available on First Edition.
