Yeah, the 3.5L EcoBoost is huge. If I remember correctly, the 2.7L has the manifolds integral to the block which helps hold the turbos in closer to the engine and saves space as well. The 3.0L is basically a bored & stroked 2.7L. Whether or not the 3.5L fits, using the 3.0L means everything will...
Was driving behind an Alto Blue mustang today and realized that is the Bronco color I actually want. Still looked black because it was an overcast day, but enough blue that the color was obvious.
If you can fit a TTV6 or an inline 4, you can fit a NA V8. My understanding is the Ranger engine bay was designed to fit a Coyote V8, and similarly the 2.7 was designed to fit anywhere you can fit a Coyote 5.0.
I currently run an ARB fridge in my Volkswagen on family camping trips, including multi-day, and have a voltage cut set at 11.8 volts if I remember correctly. The current draw on that fridge - even when I have it set in freezer mode - is so low that I've never once had it cut out or had any...
1) There's clearly room for a large naturally aspirated V8. Look at all the room ahead of the engine block
2) I see mounts for an engine cover, which may clean things up a bit visually, but in any case there's a lot going on here.
3) In 30 years when I park this at car shows (or the day I take...
My three year old now recites to me that there are three kinds of off-road cars: Land Rovers, Jeeps, and Broncos, and for the most part, can correct distinguish between those three. I haven't yet tried to explain 'Yotas, Unimogs, Humvees, Sportsmobiles, Raptors, or any of the other custom...
No one will ever know because it's a PHEV. If it were a BEV only with the same range, I expect it would be easy to spot all the depleted Wranglers stranded on various obstacles 6-8 miles before the end of the trail :ROFLMAO:
I'd far rather have a 150-200 mile range BEV off-roader if such a...
This was exactly my first thought. The environmental impact on the landscape & vegetation, not to mention the eyesore, has got to be worse than burning a few ounces of petroleum per mile. If we have to wait for two plus hours to charge halfway through a 45 mile trail, let's just go back to...
I know it's an old thread, but I see it's active at the moment, so if I may:
Manual transmission hype?
Manual transmissions are not new. Not everyone buys into the hype of letting the machine decide when to shift for you. In fact all the hype around automatic transmissions has almost killed...
I tried to warn Ford about this over two years ago. My Land Rover-loving soul was seeing Everest based prototypes running around and imagining the 4-door would be big enough to support a 3rd row, Defender 110 style. Honestly, they could have done it if it were a priority, but I expect they were...
Works fine so long as you won't be encountering dry pavement, or will remember to turn it off when you get through the slippery spots. 4H is equivalent to a locked center differential, and is not intended for long term pavement driving. 4A bridges the gap between a part-time 4x4 and an AWD vehicle.
Hey check it out - is this news???
(ETA: it is down for me currently, but no idea why https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ford.com.html says "down for more than a week :ROFLMAO: )
