I, too, have thought about this. I’m not worried about saving money on tires, but a decent ride quality without sacrificing much off road capability is the driving factor. Then, I just go back to the thought Ford has it mostly figured out, so maybe I shouldn’t mess about with it. I can only...
At least with the base 2 door you can get the manual, and thus 4.46:1 gears. Base 4 door has auto standard, and 3.73:1 gears. I definitely would have done the base model 4 door manual and 255/85r16 tires. That 3.73:1 gear ratio is a straight up deal breaker though. As soon as you pay for new...
I also ordered a Bas Sasquatch, 4 door. I feel like I might “miss” the electronic/hydraulic sway bar disconnect, but my plan is to see how much the assembly is from Ford, and if it’s not crazy expensive, purchase one and retrofit it into the base model.
Yeah I know, I can hear all you guys...
Oh I love this thing, what character. I had a sailboat with a Yanmar 3GM 30-F. Had to replace the head gasket, so easy. Very enjoyable machines, these mechanical diesels. Soulful.
This is a real deal. I supply an electronic control unit to a vehicle manufacturer. I told them last month they should place a order soon, as the chip crisis is getting worse. We already had to change design due to the back order of a CAN transceiver. Well, they drug their feet and now the main...
peak torque at 2500 rpm, I feel like that’s overlooked by most. Very impressive, but not uncommon of turbocharged engines. Really looking forward to it.
I’ve got to pair down & lighten up the camping equipment, and make a solid investment in recovery goods. The objective of both camping equipment and recovery gear will lean towards simplicity, minimal quantity but mid-high quality.
Our current Kodak Canvas tent for my family of 5 will be a...
I have been kicking around similar thoughts, but ended up placing an order for a 4 door Base SAS.I tried talking myself out of the SAS package, but even my rational, pragmatic side failed to do it.
YES but I’m a Floridian... well some of the Appalachia folk refer to us as Floridiots which is cool too... will you guys tolerate a few of us Floridiots?
Absolutely agree. Eliminating the SFA entirely would be worse than keeping the SFA on all models. I think at least most of us can agree on that. However, introducing IFS on, say, Sport and Sahara models, while keeping the SFA on Rubicon and Willys models, may be akin to entering the pool from...
Awesome. I used to work at Mercedes-Benz here in Florida, we had rounds of tests with development mules in the winter time specifically for testing emissions systems with cold weather fuels in warm climates. Wouldn't be surprised if its the same thing. Still think it's an excuse for the...
Alright, here’s my question, as the answer still remains unclear (to me):
4 door 4 cyl BASE, is MY21 available with the manual? Will MY22 & the availability of manual trans paired with Sasquatch be an option in the BASE trim?
B&P conflicts other Ford documents I have seen. My dealer reached...
yeah, the sedan segment sure does look like it’s dying.
but, we did see Ford respond to the Dodge TRX with the promise of a V8 in the Raptor for 2022, dubbed the Raptor R. We saw the rear suspension go from leaf sprung to coil, like what’s in the Bronco. And apparently there will be a Bronco R...
It was mentioned above, but EPA will “kill” the SFA in the Jeep. It almost killed it in the JL. EPA was the reason for the raked windshield.
I think many of the folks that have Sport models and a set of 35s that mostly drive on the road would greatly benefit from IFS.
I think that the Rubicon...
