Consider the dash PSI readout a good refeence. Always check your pressure with a good gauge or have it checked.

As for tire rotations - not really needed on an AWD car in correct alignment - love that on our Subaru the tires wear the same all the way around roatated or not. I expect the same of the Bronco Sport. However if service choses to rotate them no problem.
You make excellent points. However, the idiot lights and 'alerts' drive me nuts. I'm constantly yelling, "My hands ARE on the wheel!" Geesh! LOL! Nothing like having a car that backseat drives!!
In theory, I don't think you'd have to rotate tires on any vehicle if the alignment and balance stayed true. But, alas, that's typically not the case for the average vehicle owner. And my Forester ate tires. I owned it less than 6 months and had flats on 3 of the 4. The idiot light was constantly on which rendered much of the Subaru's functions useless. It went through a set of tires once a year. The caveat regarding mileage, road conditions and driver habits, are all viable, but this ain't my first rodeo (always wanted to say that, LOL).

Agree - the one thing I would eliminate besides the ASS - is the Ford double horn honk - who needs it. Our 2024 Outback demands you take your eyes off the road with all the screen functions and hardly a radio or heater knob in the car. How is that safe - its not - such cars won't get the highest safety ratings because of that.
