Do you Have 360+ on your Bronco Sport

[rootdoc]

I ordered my '22 BB in Dec 2021 with 360+Assist. I like all the tech controls.
On a different topic, I'm still bummed FMC didn't make the Bronco Sport an ICE/electric hybrid from the get go. That would have been ideal, and would certainly have increased it's market share as well as resale value.

22 BL ordered with the 360+. After having adaptive cruise on a 20 explorer I wouldn’t be without it again. The rest of it is nice to have, but I can’t imagine not spending the extra few hundred on it. But it seems to be a rare option, perhaps just because this is meant to be a cheaper car.

It wasn't available on First Edition.

Thanks for that. Didn't know what options were available in each trim, so I just put all options in the poll.

I would have been very tempted by a hybrid version too. But after owning my 2.0L '17 Escape, I knew I wanted the 2.0 L Badlands.
I would like to see better performance from the hybrid drivetrain though.

2022 Badlands ordered with 360+ or Tow Package. Both of those options were, at the time I ordered my vehicle, options that would delay production of your vehicle. The only thing in 360+ that was interesting to me was built in Nav, but android auto works so well I don't miss it.

As time goes by I become more and more worried that too many auto assist features are giving bad drivers excuses to not get better, and pay less and less attention to the road

I'm less concerned with the Driver Assist features than the current trend in new cars of moving common controls to a touch screen or small non-unique buttons, both of which require the driver's eyes and attention off the road.
I'm no Luddite but this trend in adding more things to the "Infotainment" screen makes new cars less safe.

Bought mine off the lot. I like most of the gadgets except lane centering, I feel like it just weaves back and forth.

In my experience, Lane Centering does an amazing job in keeping the car centered, while Lane Keeping (end of turn signal stalk activation/deactivation) plays ping pong with the car.
However, accuracy of Lane Centering can depend on quality of the painted lines on the center of the road and shoulder.

I'll double check my settings.

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.

I ordered the Co-Pilot 360+ on my ‘21 Badlands but my I’ve always been an “order every available option” type of vehicle buyer.

I had to special order my OB in Atlanta to get 360+ and the tow package without the tech package and moon roof. All the dealers had the OB’s loaded with candy but not the vegetables of function or safety. I equate it to houses with granite counters and deluxe showers but cheap windows and low quality HVAC systems.

360+ is worth it, in my opinion. I've never been in a situation to have the evasive steering assist trigger, and the built in nav is pretty pointless for me since I have Carplay (but it could be handy in a pinch in an area with no cellular reception). The star of the show is the adaptive cruise control with stop and go, on certain two lane 35-55mph roads with stoplights it's an absolute delight, great on highways unless they're heavily congested. The lane centering is much more robust than the standard lane keeping (which I hated and disabled on my 2015 Ford Fusion, and similarly have disabled lane keeping on my BS BL).

I got it mainly so I could answer yes on any polls that might come up asking if they had it. ?

I have 360+ on my Badlands. I actually ordered a Badlands model in 23MY and 24 MY but ended up taking one off the lot after finding one that had all of the options that I wanted. I have found that many on the lot were missing the premium package and or the 360+ package so I didn't want them.

I think when dealers order for stock they are constrained by Ford on what trim they can order and probably what options. I am sure that dealers tend to order without onions to keep the price down as they try to predict what will sell. My dealer lists 50 Bronco Sports for sale now. half of which are Big Ben and only 3 Badlands and I am sure most are missing options to keep price down.

We bought off the lot, and I wish it had the 360+ and Premium Package, but at the time we really needed a car.

Also, I don't know if the cameras are the same, but I have a buddy who ordered a Transit van with all the whistles and bells, and he is having trouble with more than one of his 360 cameras. Apparently a widespread issue with the cameras themselves from whoever makes them for Ford. He has already had one camera replaced and is waiting for parts to have another one swapped out.

I don't know if the cameras or supplier are the same for the BS, but if they have a known issue with hardware, they may be discouraging dealers from ordering that option while they sort it out.
