Thanks! I do recall that. If I remember correctly that was for vehicles that did not have the tow package and it was the dangling harness for that which was causing the issue. I Do have a tow package on mine, but had checked it anyway, only to find it intact.
Everything on my 24 Wildtrak technically works, but I have had some issues:
1. This is my 2nd wildtrak. Returned the first one the day after purchase as the driveshaft boot had shredded and slung lube all over the undercarriage.
2. From new, it has a weird ticking noise when going over off...
I have this same exact issue now at only 5,000 miles! First appointment my dealer had was a week out. Dropping it off on Friday this week. Can't believe I have a leak like this on such a new vehicle.
Yes! I'd actually hoped the 6G was going to be based on the F150 before it was released. Something similar to an Expedition, but with a shorter wheelbase (like the old full size), removable top, it's own Sasquatch package, some retro design cues, maybe even a v8 option.
As a former owner of a...
The 2.3 is definitely not a slouch. If you're comparing both on premium fuel though, the 2.7 makes 330hp/415torque compared to 300hp/325torque on premium for the 2.3. Regular fuel. Still a minor HP difference really, but the torque difference is noticeable.
I think you're right on both accounts. Your photoshop version does look less stubby, but rear seat access would suffer.
Good thing there's a "moredoor" option :)
I'm from SC originally, raised in Greenville, and did College at USC in Columbia. Now living in N.GA. Good to See another S.Carolinian on here!
I generally try to use the dealers for my service, especially since I got points at purchase that I'll use to pay for the first few oil changes...
Great point about the doors, your pics really illustrate it as well. 6G still looks stubbier to my eye. A difficult optical illusion to achieve, considering the 6G actually has a slightly longer wheelbase and total length.
I think you're right, about the shorter rear overhang contributing to the stubby look, kind of what I was thinking of with the wheels being closer to the bumpers/edges of the vehicle.
Definitely a "to each his own" type of thing, but to my eye, the 4dr is the better looking variant. If there...
Despite usually being a purist in most things, I actually prefer the look of the 4 door. I'm old enough to remember all of the previous generations and the well established history of the 2Dr too. Also owned the 2 Dr Full size in my Avatar for many years.
Somehow the current 2 door looks not...
I'm seeing tons of new Broncos on the road in my area these days. A lot more than there were just few months ago. Most are pricey, sasquatched, high trim levels too. So they were selling quite a few, at some point in the recent past. Haven't checked local inventory, but high prices didn't...
I owned a 20 Gladiator Overland, and now have a 24 Wildtrak. I do agree the Jeep's interior was a bit better, but not really by all that much. It was mostly a difference of materials used, rather than how it was actually built. The Jeep plastics were better (less scratchy, less brittle, felt...
Found something similar in mine about a week after purchase. This one was tucked into the seatback pouch and was wireless. Also had to google to figure out what it was. Took it back to the dealer and left it on my salesman's desk.
Don't find it very useful anymore. Will check the tire pressure and reward points , but that's about it.
Not sure how it was on other vehicles but it used to show a alot of good driving data on my Hybrid F150 (speed, avg mpg, driving habits, etc), but they'd taken that away before I traded it...
While this is definitely not even close to a fuel efficient vehicle, I do like playing the game sometimes and trying to increase the mpg, just to see what's possible.
With the 4Dr Wildtrak, I've found it possible to get it up to 20-21 mpg, if the circumstances, and driving technique are right...
I know that rest area, it's on lake Hartwell. Grew up in Gville, SC, and now in N.GA. Still make that drive often to visit the fam back home. Often stop to stretch the legs with a short walk down to the lake there. Nice.
You know, VA is also in the south :)
Not that it should be about being "allowed", but that seemed like an antiquated term to me too. However, I looked it up and that's apparently still what the people who move cars around are called, so fair enough!
On Mall Crawlers: I do get that some never take these off road, but I have no...
Nicely done! I also went from Atlanta to Moab back in October; Canyonlands, and Arches. But I cheated, and took a plane, to Denver at least. It was also before I had my Bronco. We did a side by side trip through Hell's Revenge though, best part of the trip.
