Exactly - unadvertised, unhearalded, possibly even cautioned against - but easily discoverable. "Never, ever, under any circumstances, remove the yellow tab from the blowoff valve mounted next to the turbocharger on the passenger's side of the engine just adjacent to the transmission fluid...

"Allowing" is a very unusual word to use here. I think "encouraging" would be a better fit. Those little steel caps over the idle jet screws on carburetors didn't prevent anyone from adjusting the idle, it just added a step. Very few things on a vehicle are "non-removable". Having...

My '71 Bronco only has a Bikini top. But then, it isn't my daily driver.

Actually, they list the Navigator as #50 on their list, the exact opposite of #1. "Another domestic SUV that doesn’t sell in large quantities is the Lincoln Navigator. The premium SUV sold in a little less than 2,500 examples, but as the all-new Navigator is on the market, we can expect some...

Turbos go fine with high mileage. Mine currently has 257k on it. I've had several on small-ish gas engine go over 200k. The regulations regarding the reduction of pollutants from Diesels were implemented in 2001, when Barak Obama was still an Illinois state senator. To say he had *nothing*...

Meh. If it bothered me, it's easier to ignore it than to change it. But change it I could. I could do without the touch screen, especially for stereo and climate controls. I find it distracting on my girlfriend's Exploder. Factory backup camera is nice. I retrofitted a backup camera to my...

Automotive electronics are by and large logical functional progressions. Startup graphics, and sometimes accompanying audio, are the norm on every consumer electronics item with a display that I can think of - it doesn't slow the process in any meaningful way, and lets you know it is going...

Back in the "good old days", I was an old school Diesel mechanic. Racks, flyweights, mechanical injectors... some of them didn't have an electrical system at all - air starters (loved that sound!), mechanical cables run through pulleys and connected to levers. Mechanical gauges. I worked on a...

It's literally a $0.00 solution. Similar to critical computing, you don't allow an untested/unproven update.

Maybe just wait until you see one in the flesh. Everything is speculation, yours tends radically towards the negative. I understand that is a common psychological buffer against perceived impending disappointment, but you take it to the level of clinical. We fear what we don't understand...

Not deceptive at all. Ford NEVER said it was a 2020MY vehicle. The most they ever said was "coming in 2020" - since many models are released in the 4th quarter, I ASSumed that meant an October 2020 availability of a 2021MY offering. Their production schedule slipped, and it looks like a...

Details. The basic body shape is going to be good based on the tarped image... it's the grille, bumpers, flares, and body accents that will make or break it in the style department. I've said it a dozen times - if they match what they did with the Mustang redux, it will be beyond expectations.

:cwl:

Black Diamond on the button to update the software. :bandit:

I don't like the groove in the door either, but I don't dislike the angle on the rear edge even though it is reminiscent of the Scout. My guess is Ford will pay a little more homage to the original Bronco's details than R&T did, while updating it at the same time. Put a retro "Sport Bronco"...

THAT will work for me.

Ah, okay. I have heard the sport bar term before. Some people on the forums say Jeep named it that way so people wouldn't think they have a *real* rollover cage and do even stupider stuff, some say calling it a "roll bar" would make people fear it rolls over very easily. Either way, there...

Mine Went 90mph Regularly On The Beach Or On The Highway Never Wrecked Was A Kid Then But Went Fast And Stayed Alive

Show Bars? I'm not a Jeep guy, but I've never seen that term - at least not in this context.
