2022 Badlands w/premium package now includes USB A and C ports in rear passenger area

[fistpumpbruh]

Just clowning around and noticed that there's now USB a and c ports in the back passenger area, whereas there was only the 110v previously. No idea if this is on all 2022s, but it's in mine!

Must've been switched over late in the model year then, I distinctly remember may reviewers decrying the lack of USB ports in the back seat in nearly every video ?

Yup. It was added mid-way through the 21 MY. Kind of wish they had that in the rear cargo area.

Ford published that after some date in May all them had the ports on rear of console. Must have been all the online reviewers complaining so Ford changed it on units built after May '21

My June built unit has the revised plugs on back of console.

Ford is so weird.

"Reviewers want USB ports in the backseat so lets give it to them." Then says,
"No one needs temperature gauges in the AC controls. Delete them!" "Power liftgate? Blasphemy!"

Now if only the USB in the center console was actually hooked up to the sync unit.

At some point I should prob see if all the various plugs in mine actually work..... hmmmm.....

"Power liftgate? Blasphemy!"

I suspect this may have something to do with center of gravity. A power liftgate requires motors and the structure to support them--all installed at the top of the vehicle. The Bronco Sport is already tall, so the CG is high to begin with. Every pound you add to the top increases the CG more. Off-road prowess requires a CG as low as possible.

Omg I didn’t even realize they did this. It still shows the temp in the dial in the build and price. I was actually really excited to have a smart AC/Heat unit in my car for once. Super disappointing. At least now I’m prepared for the disappointment ?. Although I’ll probably never adjust it once I have it dialed in anyways.

Dude, many different 'off road' vehicles have it. The BS, outside of our circle, isn't that special that amotor couldnt've been added.

I wish I could take the credit but a 2022'er noticed it.

So it's strictly power? That sucks.

Just found a picture of it on Reddit. Very underwhelming ?
