Military LMTV on GovPlanet! $3900!!!

‘This thing will walk away from a Tesla at 100, 120 mph’

3.2s? Lol. Call me when you’re serious...

<hat tip>

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Really?!?

I’d still buy a Raptor for that kind of money ($50k ish). Jumping>>burnouts.

I’ve been saying for some time that Subaru needs to do this in order to solve the WRX/STI paradox.... right now those two vehicles overlap WAY too much and it’s pretty hard for the average enthusiast to see a reason to spend the extra $$$ on the STI.

93 would return better mileage because it would allow further electronic advance of the timing for ignition... this would effectively raise the compression at the point of ignition (by a noticeable amount).

Yep, I think your nuts. :-)

For all cases except where AWD+Ground Clearance is an issue, I will agree with you. I actually much prefer minivans, but around here (very snowy New England town with shitty roads), minivans tend to scrape their underbellies and struggle with the road/snow conditions (and yes I know the Sienna has AWD). In these…

The logic is pretty easy to follow:

Nope. Crossover mileage is close enough to sedan mileage now that no one would use that as a decisive shopping metric. The couple of MPG difference is FAR outweighed by the cargo and family hauling increase you get with the crossover body style.

You may want to reassess your assumptions...

I’ve seen far dumber flood drivers... some guys are just SURE their air-breathing vehicle is immune to drowning!

So all we need is a little more ‘Hall Effect’ and the limits are gone! sub 1s 0-60 here we come!

Y’all realize that the Durango/Jeep GC are based on Mercedes-Benz SUV platforms right?

Alternate Solution: BRONCO/RANGER has IFS so it doesn’t suck to drive, and you buy a Yamaha yxz1000r UTV to tow behind it. The Yamaha will kick the stuffing out of <insert ANY road going vehicle with off-road pretensions>. Make these trucks good on-road so they can be good tow vehicles, and then buy dedicated…

I had a WRX (2009)... hated it. It understeered like a pig even with a ton more rear bar in it. I tried sway bar, bushings, tire pressure, etc. and still it was a mess. The motor was also terrible (turbo lag for DAAAYS).

The biggest advantage the electric jeeps would have is closed loop speed control. You can potentially program the throttle to act as a ‘speed controller’ instead of a ‘torque controller’. In any ICE engine, you are commanding torque, but as soon as a wheel slips it KEEPS slipping. If you build an electric Jeep…

Go get that 2017 Raptor and run it on the same course and lets see how much faster IT is!!!
