I've been playing around on snow covered roads and watching the torque display.
I can confirm the badlands does actively torque vector the rear end while turning when on the throttle. Outside rear wheel was getting a good bit more torque sent to it.
For everyone testing things out in low...
I can conform, on the Badlands, SLIPPERY mode does NOT lock the 4WD. it does seem to engage it sooner/more than on NORMAL mode. This is from watching the INTELLIGENT screen that shows torque distribution real time while playing around with the throttle on various snow/ice covered driving...
Interestingly enough- I decided to check and see what my Fordpass oil life would say.
I changed the oil for the second time at 4800 total miles. (I typically just do 5000 intervals to make it easy).
I've put 400 miles on it since then. Mountain driving in the winter. (3/4 highway miles)
It...
I agree with you on the manuals use of MODE and FEATURE.
But, I believe the intent of Ford is for you not to have the rear Dif locked... (as locking the Dif can cause all the listed issues if you try turning on a high traction surface. turning causes the wheels to have a different distance to...

I've been driving forever in snow and mountains with all different vehicles.
My Broncosports all wheel drive system amazes me every time I'm out in the snow at how good it is, its so good that I normally don't even bother putting it into slippery...
i Live down a dirt road and the shelf can rattle a bit depending on which position I have it in.
I also decided it seems to be in the way more times than not- so now it sits in the garage unless I’m doing something specific where I’ll use it.

I was looking at my Fordpass app “oil life” yesterday.
(I picked up my BroncoSport this past February, it was on the auto train in January . )
I don’t put many miles on it as I have two other vehicles. (I do live way up in the...
I can confirm the factory block heater is under 500W. I forget the exact draw mine has, something like 430W..
Being rather low power, it does take 2-3 hours to make it worth plugging in when it’s in the single digits F. (I have it connected through a Wi-Fi plug in the garage so I can schedule...
