  1. Bronco towing vs Ranger, why the difference?

    0 interest in the ranger here. But also 0 interest in minivan tow cap. And the shoes analogy is just ridiculous and meaningless. If anything, a tow cap would be tying laces tighter not removing them, but that’s still a stupid comparison. If ya really wanna use shoes it’d be more like currently...
  2. Bronco towing vs Ranger, why the difference?

    Power wagon only comes with 4x4 and crew cab and 6’4” bed, and on 2020 models from rams website shows 10k tow cap. Compare with any other 2500 with the same setup(4x4, crew cab, 6’4” bed) and the highest I got it to is 14k tow cap, so power wagon is just over 70% what the tow cap is in same...
  3. Bronco towing vs Ranger, why the difference?

    Unfortunately for me there’s nothing that actually matches my poison, every option has some sorta compromise to it for one reason or another. It is what it is. But that is why I was hoping for a higher tow cap from the bronco. Even with 5-6k range tow cap it would be a compromise for me, would...
  4. Defender vs Bronco Towing Capacity

    Just meeting regulations doesn’t mean a higher tow cap wouldn’t meet the same safety regulations or that a single part is the only thing limiting that. Regulations just mean it can tow at least this much safely, doesn’t mean it can’t tow more and still be safe, could just mean it wasn’t tested...
  5. Hill Start assist on the manual?

    Common technique when starting a manual on a very steep incline is to hold the parking brake/e-brake lever so you can get from the brake pedal to gas pedal and start going without rolling back at all. Hill start assist is supposed to basically be the same thing, it holds the brake for you when...
  6. V6 orientation - straight or transverse

    Vw does/has used transverse engines in their AWD vehicles. But outside that I don’t know of any transverse applications that aren’t FWD. And really, the VW engines were designed for FWD use, just some models got upgraded to AWD. Edit: Remembered Volvo did also have a transverse V8 AWD in the...
  7. No manual on 4-door Base?

    Uh, the manual is available in 4dr on multiple trims, the current issues are not showing up on base even though ford apparently said it would be, not being able to build and price manual with Sasquatch because it’s late availability so ford won’t add it to B&P til later and also not being...
  8. Any chance the tow capacity gets increased?

    Problem with that comparison is they’re more opposites than similar. The gladiator was developed off the wrangler, not the other way around, and was made to tow more than that engine was previously capable of in any vehicle it’s in, while overcoming cooling issues brought by using the same body...
  9. Garage Door on Aux Switches?

    Well unless someone knows what the button is for or they’re just in your car in your driveway hitting random buttons I don’t think having power constantly is that big a deal. It’s not like it’s labeled since it’s not the stock garage door button. And like I said I’ve done this before with adding...
  10. Garage Door on Aux Switches?

    You don’t even need a step down, just use the battery that garage remote already uses, place in a hidden but not inaccessible place, change battery as often as you would any garage remote battery(not often, mines going over 2 years used every time I come and go). Pop apart the casing, solder...
  11. 3.73, 4.27 & 4.46 ratio on-road?

    Thing people forget(or don’t know) is axles are a RATIO not just a number, so that’s what makes the bigger number a lower gear. There’s always a :1 that’s implied and typically left off for ease, that’s what makes the lower gears bigger numbers. It’s math.It’s really just inverted fractions...
  12. First Edition Tow Package

    Maybe the first edition 4dr already has it included? Tow package says it should be able to equip on every trim except base. Can build and price any other 4dr except base with squatch and tow package so that’s not it. Tow package isn’t even there to click on first edition 4 door build and price.
  13. Brakes? Nobody talking about the Bronco brakes...

    Raptor has 17in rims, 34in tires, and an 8000lb tow capacity. So if the brakes are limiting tow cap or any capability it’s by fords choice. Ranger also has 16in rims and 7500lb tow cap. You don’t just need huge brakes to stop, of course larger size helps still, but think broncos brakes will be...
  14. Towing capacity

    Short wheelbase may explain the 2dr, doesn’t explain why the 16in longer wheelbase 4dr is the same, especially with half a dozen suvs with same wheelbase as the 4 door towing more than double the broncos tow cap. So that leaves the suspension difference. And yea a softer suspension def warrants...
  15. Tow Package Question

    The wires may be under the bronco, but I think the actual plug connectors are on the same piece as the hitch receiver so without a hitch receiver, no plugs. There’s some photos on here of the bronco chassis without the body and looks to me like the plug is on the same piece as the hitch receiver
  16. Any chance the tow capacity gets increased?

    Nobodys asking for high tow capacity from the bronco, just more tow cap than a minivan. Or at least a tow package that ups the tow cap for those that do want it. Raptor is an understandable change(to me). The high output 3.5 can tow 8k in the Raptor, the same engine in the f150 limited tows 11k...
  17. No manual with mid-package

    Im with scenario 2. Mid package is pairable with manual on the badlands(the most expensive trim you can get with manual), so it’s not a misunderstanding about it missing a feature, and it specifically states in the package that the remote start is only for auto trans(which is redundant if the...
  18. ATTN: Standard Transmission Base Buyers

    So anyone else notice that on build and price you can’t get a 4 door base with manual trans? Only 2 door, pick 4 door base and the manual trans disappears from the powertrain options.
  19. No manual with mid-package

    Well according to build and price you can’t get a 4 door base with a manual either. I know there was a few threads here early on about it being a mistake listing the 4 door base as auto standard, but just went to build one and doesn’t even have the manual trans listed when on 4 door base. So...
  20. Is there an unconventional way to get the high package on the Black Diamond or Big Bend?

    Buy badlands with high package, change badging to black diamond or big bend badges
