It's clear from the TRX, Charger/Challenger, and now Jeep 392 numbers that Dodge really has the suspension setup and drivetrain performance really well dialed in, they are definitely able to maximize performance. The lackluster Bronco numbers make it apparent that Ford is softening performance...
Every single time I've tried to listen to SiriusXM my ears physically hurt from the horrific compression they use. They divided up their bandwidth so heavily to add extra channels that they stream most channels at extremely extremely low bitrates. Rock stations like Lithium are muddy nearly...
There might be more to it than just peak numbers/curves. We can tell that the factory tune is set up extremely soft to protect the fragile axles and drivetrain components. A WOT dyno chart wouldn't show that. Given the weight and horsepower numbers, the Broncos are much slower than they should...
The Gracenote database has existed since 1993. I don't know if I ever had to manually add id3 metatag info ever since iTunes integrated it...like...two decades ago.
It's fascinating to see that, at least in the F150, Ford checks to see if there's weight in the passenger seat before it will...
What's a "mech/elec" version? Older F-150s use a vacuum-actuated IWE. Newer F-150s use an electrically-actuated IWE. Some Bronco models got a front axle disconnect at the front diff.
The BRaptor got the old vacuum-actuated IWEs.

They omitted 0.3 seconds to account for a 1-foot rollout.

Yeah there's a reason the badge-engineered bullshit is in every automakers' history and not their present - Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Scion, Mercury - there's no real need in today's market for so many tiers that offer no actual differentiation. There's a reason most automakers have settled on a...
Kind of bigotry, but just in the typical how-can-I-exert-power-over-you type of way. The same attitude lives on today - how many times have you seen people here complain about all of the wimpy-ass soy-boys buying stupid-looking worthless electric vehicles? Whether it's social or financial or...

Careful, the author has a...reputation...but it's a window into maybe why the Bronco died in favor of the Explorer and Expedition.
Yeah this is wild to me, too. Automakers exist to make money, they don't give a shiiiiiiiiiiiit about "history" beyond how it can make them more money. Any bullshit the marketing departments spew about Heritage™ or History™ or Lineage™ is purely a ploy to sell you something.
