Who's to say that the various G.O.A.T. modes won't be optimized to give the type of throttle control that we want/need? Maybe there are actual 4WD enthusiasts involved somewhere in the development team.
It seems I will have no choice other than having the transmission in my '98 F-150 rebuild, and keep driving it another couple of years to justify the $2k(+) repair.
But (the silver lining), if I decide to keep the truck after getting my Base Bronco......the truck uses 255/70-16 tires.
Although, Hennessey says he's gonna put supercharged Coyote's in there.....
(Their shop is about 65 miles from my place. Shop tours are suspended at the moment due to Covid, but when they start offering them again it would be fun to run over there and see if they have acquired a Bronco to start...
When it comes to “big” tires for off-roading, tall is more important than wide in the majority of circumstances. There is no question that “tall and wide” also equates to heavy......which robs power and puts more of a burden on suspension components to control the extra unsprung weight.
Is the lateral track bar longer on a Sasquatch to compensate for the lift, versus the lower-spec suspensions (Base, etc.)?
How about the rear upper/lower trailing arms? Specific to Sasquatch, or common to all trims?
Umm.....
The standalone locker rear is a $795 option on OBX. The 4A case is a $795 option on OBX, but also requires the rear locker. $795 + $795 = $1590.
This thread is tiresome......
For those of us in Base camp, planning to add larger tires after taking delivery......what is the general consensus regarding a mild lift (perhaps just "leveling")?
My plan would be an inch or so of front suspension lift via new coil-overs/top mounts to level the stance.....then go with...
