I have driven on a Class 4 road in VT. I’m not an off-roader, and I did it in my wife’s RX350, with her in the passenger seat. It was kind of like driving down a rocky dry creek bed, I imagine. Lots of grapefruit sized rocks, and some nature-walkers who looked surprised to see us. IDK if they were surprised to see a…

Oh, you, with your reading the article and paying attention and whatnot...

Wait, that’s what you take away from this article?

Bankrolled by a massive corporation AND the largest, most repressive government in the world!

You’re kind of acting like mental health issues are inherent and permanent.

“Even the Ranger is as big or bigger than an F-150 of 20 years ago”

If it makes you feel better it has a better breakover than a 44 grand gladiator rubicon.

And they compared the breakover angle of the Subie to the Wrangler with the worst breakover angle.

Yup just past the maw is a very refined, tidy design.  It’s tiny in person.

Correct. Ford is sacrificing low tier Ranger sales on purpose with this thing, those base model Rangers aren’t the real money makers anyway. Bronco is going to sell like hotcakes and since it’s on Ranger’s platform, they’re still going to get their money’s worth out of that line on the high end. If they eek out a tiny…

Germany! Though they are hard to find because maltec scoops them up
