I didn't say the Bronco system distributes engine power through (three) computer-controlled clutched differentials. But because the Bronco uses a stability control system that controls engine power via electronic throttle control and the ABS, which gets vehicle motion data from various on-board...
I've been harping on this issue about "Ford communication" and "Ford transparency" for a few months now. Building a modern vehicle in a modern automotive production facility utilizes numerous production techniques that are tuned to build a high-quality vehicle at an affordable price for the...
Of us that understand the differences between the numerous types of drive systems employed by modern car manufacturers, we can write pages on the subject. Audi's system, which was (maybe still is) marketed as "Quattro", is essentially a 4-wheel drive system. It is more sophisticated obviously...
OP,
A bunch of responses here are spot on, but none have tied together what you need to understand to help you make decisions going forward of when to use the 4x4 modes of the drivetrain in your Bronco as it is configured. Based on your question it is obvious that you are a novice at 4-wheel...
I'm the type of person who drives into puddles as fast as possible because speed is proportional to how far and how much water you can make splash away from the road.
My H3T for high ratio, has either 4-Auto or 4-Lock; there is no option to direct the drivetrain to run in rear wheel only (i.e. 2WD).
In low ratio, it operates only in 4-Lock. The axle differentials can then be locked.
The optional transfer case drivetrain in the Bronco operates in the same...
I joined the Forum when the Stig and some other employee were posting pics from inside MAP, my first thought was they are going to get shitcanned at some point for releasing such information on a public forum. There are a lot of industrial operatives that love to see inside manufacturing...
Seriously, if you were an executive at Ford, or any other auto manufacturer or well-known international company, would you want unofficial "communication" spread on the internet from unauthorized employees? Why is this hard to understand?
The fastest way to get fired is to start releasing...
Agree, this is the issue with the Bronco paint choices, the interior accents. I don't think the interior accents are going to age well, meaning they will fall out of fashion at some point. Not sure why Ford decided on use a "fashionable" interior.; but as anyone who has walked into a home...
So you are the one who is arguing. Come drive my Z4 Coupe and try turning your head instead of using the mirrors. In the Z4 Coupe you can't see out of the rear 3/4 view by turning your head; you have to know how to properly adjust the mirrors. Side view mirrors were invented to alleviate...
I've been a motorcyclist for 41 years. I doubt you'd kick my doors. As a motorcycle rider, if you depend on expecting other drivers to see you as part of your safe riding techniques, then you've been lucky so far...
