What Is Class-Exclusive** Trail 1-Pedal Drive?
Simplicity of use on the trail was paramount in the creation of the Ford Bronco SUV. So much so that the engineers even made braking and accelerating easier thanks to Trail 1-Pedal Drive, available exclusively on Bronco models with the 2.7-liter engine.
How Does Trail 1-Pedal Drive Work?
El nombre lo dice todo. The performance speaks volumes. When it's engaged, you only have to use one pedal (the accelerator) to control the speed of the vehicle. As you ease off the accelerator pedal, the brakes engage. Releasing the accelerator completely will bring your Bronco SUV to a controlled stop.
