I'm not short. I'm tall enough for my legs to reach from my butt to the ground.

That thing is hideous. That it's supposed to be bulletproof is cool. That's about it. EVs are a non-starter for me. Battery tech isn't there yet, and infrastructure isn't there yet. Even once it is there, how do you carry extra fuel for overlanding? You're going to have to haul around a...

Yeah, that thing's kinda fugly, but if it was capable offroad and priced reasonably, I'd consider it. But it looks like it's expected to be FWD/AWD, unibody, and CVT, any of which would make me not want it. Add the fact that it's fugly to boot, that's gonna be a "no" from me, dawg.

Me, too, and that's at the earliest. I'm not even worried about being a first year beta tester, I just flat out can't afford to get a Bronco right now without trading off my Tundra, and not having a pickup is not an option for me. But the more time I have/take to save, the easier it will be...

OK, that all makes sense, and I learned a thing. Thanks!

Hamburger, yes. Green peppers, no. Onions instead.

I'm an Okie. We've seen it all. Tornadoes are common, earthquakes are getting that way, blizzards are not unheard of, and we've even had a hurricane. We can recover from anything. Just gotta sack up and git r done.

I haven't done as much offroading as I'd like, but last I checked, a lot of offroading was done at low speeds, just off idle in many cases. Don't we want high torque at low RPM?

Thanks to you for posting it and @FirstOnRaceDay for putting it together. It looks like the 2000-3000 RPM torque numbers are fine. It's the idle to 2000 RPM torque numbers that aren't necessarily all that great.

The 2.3L in the Ranger reaches its max torque at 3,000 RPM according to this. I assume that it doesn't magically jump from no torque to 310 pound feet of it as soon as it hits 3k RPM, but I'm too lazy to Google a graph showing its torque curve.

They'd have to have a tailgate on the Bronco for that to work...wait...are you saying...? TAILGATE CONFIRMED!

Oh, man! The RAV4 engine would be great in the Jimny! The Global Jimny comes with a 1.5L engine that makes 100.5 HP and 101.8 lb.-ft. of torque and a max curb weight of 2502 pounds for power and torque-to-weight ratios of 0.041. The RAV4's base engine is a 2.0L engine that makes 169 HP and...

When I read the original post, I was wondering if they were maybe talking about a TTB setup where you could lock the beams together to act as a SFA in certain modes and unlock to be more road friendly and act as IFS in other modes. That doesn't match up with anything we've seen from the mules...

I agree with this, but we also have no idea how long immunity lasts. We need an antibody test, and we need a way to apply that antibody test to people who are known to have been recovered from COVID-19 for various timeframes. If the antibodies several years, then a vaccine would be good, but...

And it had better be painted with PPG Deltron Acrylic Urethane(DAV2764) C-70-WA-4667 with 01 on the side and the stars and bars on the top, too, or I'm not buying one!

The problem is that common sense isn't common.

I would expect it to be a bit heavier than the Ranger just because there's body panels and structure over where the open bed on the Ranger would be. I thought I was overestimating at 5k. 4600-4800ish was more what I was actually expecting.

Wait....are you saying the number I pulled directly out of my backside a couple of days ago is actually correct/close? Or are you just using that number to troll people? I'm cool with it either way. I just want to know.

I'd honestly be shocked if the new Bronco weighs 5000 pounds since the 5G broncos were F150 based and the heavy one weighed 4740. I pulled 5000 pounds out of my butt based on the fact that the current 4x4 SCrew Ranger is 4441 pounds and my assumption that an SUV would be heavier. You know what...

I don't know about the Denali, but my 2001 Sonoma was actually a pretty good little truck. Well, the interior started to rattle around 30k miles, the handle to open the rear door broke twice, and it ate keys (the resistor in the key would break and the truck would randomly not start until you...
