He's trying to beat the 2dr vs. 4dr horse to death even further in hopes of getting likes from the 6 people that still find that debate entertaining.

I ended up buying an F-150 instead of a Bronco since I needed more tow capability than a small crossover, but it does have 4A.

What I'm discovering is that some people are just fine driving reeeally reeeally slow in mixed or slick conditions. Any gas at all on wet or patchy pavement and you'll be one-wheel-peeling your way to nowhere since the Bronco doesn't have an LSD and the locker (just like 4H) is only made for low...

Another 4A thread, no new information, but plenty of the same misinformation being shared over and over. Nope. Pull up Forscan and watch the transfer case modulation in 4A. Leaving from a stop, it ramps the front axle in even with 0 slip. See above. Based on throttle position, speed, and...

Diff unlocks above 25mph in slippery mode.

Yeah I never said they wouldn't. But historically, mechanical e-brakes are extremely prone to fault and failure, unlike what you said.

Have you ever had an old truck where you can't use the mechanical e-brake because you know it won't release due to all of the rust built up on the cables? Even the recent F-150s used a lever between the brake cable and shoes that would often freeze up and lock the ebrake on. My mechanical...

Yeah! Put the switch on the touchscreen!

Bronco aero is bad compared to the F-150, so they all suffer. The 37s on the Raptor hurts mpg a lot, and the extremely soft torque management really neuters off the line performance. The Raptor's 6.2 shifted at about 5800, the Bronco Raptor shifts at about 6000, not a big difference in RPM. A...

Ford specs say the 2 door has about 1/2" less rear legroom than the 4 door. Getting back there is going to be the real struggle.

You're right - I was going off an old ASME paper about inferring ethanol content via partial pressures. Ford uses a couple of triggers to detect a fillup, and then assumes rapid changes in AFR readings are due to ethanol content changes and puts those in a new flex table vs. the standard fuel...

What do you think happens if you run too lean for too long? Highly depends on the vehicle and the local fuel cost. E85 is 30-40% cheaper around here and my mileage drops by 21-28% when running it, so it's a net gain for me (besides having to fill up more often). Stock 2.7 is dual injection...

....that can tow more than a "real" Bronco.

I saw you in Cars!

Yeah I've never not hated on Hummers but to bitch about how it's a minivan or "not a real Hummer" is pure delusion. Factory V8, front and rear lockers, 33s, 4:1 low range, tows 6000lbs...no one with anything short of a Badlands should be talking shit.

Yes, if the doors are gone, how will you...unlock the doors...

That's a nice feature! My F150 diff has...no gasket whatsoever.

I'm surprised you got 5 seasons. Expected lifespan of maximum grip is ~20,000 miles which is only 3ish seasons for me. The top half of the tread blocks contains the grippiest compound - once that is gone you'll have reduced traction. But snow tires aren't like all-seasons that you can wear down...

I don't understand what you're saying, you said, "This used to be true" and then agreed with me. All I said was that if studs offer an advantage for the majority of your winter driving, then run them. That mirrors what Nokian literally says...
