it's way worse when it snows even half that amount in the South

it could be worse... (found here at b6g)

do the rear vents actually send the proper temperature air into the rear passenger area? i'm still convinced the underseat vents are missing the connection to the rest of the HVAC system in my MY23

it's devolved into the minutia of A/C compressor operation which in it's own way is AS/S due to the use of a clutch

gotta wonder if this example's transmission is one of the rare '21s that didn't rattle

you do realize that the compressor doesn't run at full load at all times (and maryland has long periods during the winter without rain or snow. we're currently in a drought condition)

working auto-dimming rear view mirror?

more like three months of AC required for cooling. i've seen winter weather there in 9 of the possible 12 months. and summers are super low humidity

depends on the humidity level. (spent 30 years as a test engineer in the upper idaho panhandle)

there are definitely large swathes of the country where AC is not required year round (Alaska, North Dakota, Idaho...) i still remember the 'first' energy crisis back in the 70's where the gov't was advising that those old vehicles got better gas mileage at highway speeds with the windows up...

It’s an odd feature to remove

when i checked the MY25 order guide, the auto dim mirror was only available on MID and higher only on the outer banks and raptor. it was no longer available in any package for any other trims

auto dim which seems to be available only on MY25 outer banks and raptor trims

some of us even did well in the tribology class back in grad school

make sure to check the threads on how to prep your bronco's tranny for safely being towed!

apparently toyota has a built in counter for their ASS system that requires a mandatory inspection of components at 384,000 cycles before resetting assuming a large number of S/S cycle per day of 100 times, that well over 10 years. (i do trust toyota engineering for longevity more than i trust...

extremely seamless with the 7MT. pretty sure it's taking cues from the clutch pedal position while on the automatics, it has to guess intentions.

from the OEM's perspective, the cheapest solution (with maximum benefits to them) is to leave things in the current state aka do nothing

exactly! the corporations don't like being told to use someone else's technology (instead of in-house) that's why stellanis' vehicles with ASS/hybrid use a funky second battery that causes many issues (but it was invented there...) the ultimate version of how badly things can go when given a...

IIRC, ASS was never mandated by the EPA. ASS was the car manufacturers attempt to get a better score on the EPA driving cycle and the CAFE. there are other ways, but this was the low hanging fruit (FORD would have been required to retest with ASS turned off if that was the default startup...
