They don’t, each wiper is connected to an independent electric motor with no positional feedback. If you happen to rotate one even the slightest bit during the removal or install procedure...it throws the timing off and the wipers collide with each other.

I didn’t have the proper tool at the time and it was my…

I would be surprised to see Erik saying any vehicle other than a mini hatchback is a good vehicle to have in a city.

Also, apparently New York City is the only city to judge suitability by.

Also, I am pretty sure when Ford is talking about “city” driving...they are really referring to anything that isn’t a highway and…

1. That’s not really a thing anymore.

2. I would be surprised if it wasn’t an AGM. 

I once helped my neighbor out and did it the “Ford” way and removed the wipers and cowl. Huge fucking mistake. You need a Ford scan tool to reset and calibrate the wipers after you put them back on.

The airbox removal is by far the better option. 

This isn’t exactly novel, the current Jeep Grand Cherokee has it’s battery underneath the passenger seat.

Yea, except Mr. Brownell does this shit all the time. Then he gets mad when people call him out about it.

Rather than saying some stupid shit about how this “breaks” physics, he could point out this is a perfect illustration of Newton’s third law. That doesn’t require a background in science at all. 

It’s a shitty clickbait article that provides zero substance to go along with the actual cool video. 

This same team first did this like 10 years ago. This is by no means new.

The difference is Veritasium has good content in the videos. This entire article was just garbage.

Based on the content of this story I’m not sure you could go any lower.

“This Wind-Powered Car Goes Fast Enough To Break Physics”

No, nothing has been broken here. I feel dumber for having read this article. 

I will disagree with the looks of the Ridgeline, it looks like a *slightly* less “round” Pilot with a bed. But yes, your point about price is 100% valid. You can get a more capable and usually more well equipped RAM for the same price.

Also, Honda’s quality is a shadow of what it once was. Our pilot is a maintenance…

Ford released this handy graphic:

If delivery is your primary purpose for a vehicle I would say the C-Max is more suited to that role than an open bed truck (unless you put a topper on). 

Pretty sure it’s an eCVT, so planetary gears rather than belts.

With that said, I don’t think anyone is going be buying these for towing anything larger than the occasional small u-haul trailer or other similarly small load (and I’d be willing to bet that 99% of people buying these never haul anything...ever).

10/10 would buy a “RAM MAXXXX 666 Devil Daddy” just for the name alone.

Small inexpensive truck, great gas mileage, LOOKS like a truck.

This thing will sell like gangbusters. The issue with unibody trucks like the Ridgeline and Santa Cruz are they they look like crossovers with a bed...even if they are fairly capable for what they are. This one has the proper design language IMO.

I think based on looks alone (plus the pricing is great) this will kill off the Ridgeline (resembles a Pilot with a bed, even after mild redesign)and severely hampers the Santa Cruz’s prospects. 

I had the opposite experience with my ‘10 Jetta TDI. The DSG grenaded twice. Once at 28k (covered under warranty) and then at 89k...which I replaced since I liked the car so much. Yes, maintenance was done on schedule.

Then at 93K the EGR clogged due to a cracked DPF. Both needed replacement. Next the turbo took a…

I’m just calling it what they call it:
