I’d like to see same truck, but Photoshop a set of 32” A/T tires onto the stock steelies, and put a dark gray wrap on the body at the level of the bumpers.
If you scale the pixels between the 5.5" bolt circle and the wheel bore on the "Wixom Base" pic, it looks like it would be nominally 93.1mm. Need a physical check by caliper, though, to be certain.
I believe it has a center differential, allowing different wheel rotation rates front to rear. If you had ever made a tight turn on dry pavement in a 4WD without a center differential, you would know......
Good point. They should get a mini van, with lots of creature comforts and safety features. As our kids were growing up, we had three Dodge/Chrysler vans. At the time, I had a Bronco II with manual hubs and manually-shifted xfer case. I wouldn't let my wife drive it, because I was always...
MANY of the lightweight campers (sub 2000 lb dry weight) these days have electric brakes. An effective trailer braking system, electric or surge) is even more important on a tow vehicle with limited capacity.
Your example of "turning" illustrates my point exactly regarding street driving during rain and other "borderline" slick conditions. For the "clueless", 4A would be a set-and-forget option to use all-wheel drive without constantly having to remember to pop it back into 2H to avoid binding.
Does the "Towing Capability" option provide anything other than the hitch receiver and trailer wiring plugs?
Higher alternator output? Enhanced engine/trans cooling capacity?
For a street-tire Base model, you would think the "Advanced 4x4" transfer case, with 4A (AWD), would be a legit selling point. One example would be keeping soccer mom and the kiddos safer in all road conditions. I am very tempted by the value proposition of a non-Squatch 2-door Base model...
