You sure some of the sound isn’t from straight cut gears? I bet some of the noise is from whatever gears tie the motors together and the gear reduction to the wheels.

They are going to make what people want, not what you dictate. With the rate people are leaving California because of nonsense like their crazy emissions standards, the California market is shrinking by the day anyways.

Are we really going to argue people want a hybrid Bronco?

They already did. It’s back. They are on the road. Have you seen one?

I think what you really mean is To Really Cut Carbon Emissions, Stop Living.

You just can’t make this stuff up anymore.

You mean like the person blocking his path has zero legitimate reason to do so?

Play in the road and win stupid prizes.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m glad the fad is over and I don’t understand the current fetish from a select few (yes, I think it’s just a few).

Since this has 4A, I wonder if the 4H and 4L in the transfer case will operate like the 2nd gen Raptor or like the F-150 with the “Torque-On-Demand” transfer case? In the Raptor, 4H and 4L mechanically lock the front output like a traditional transfer case but on the F-150, there is no locking mechanism. It uses the…

As long as it’s got cooled seats, they’ve got a winner.

Yes, full-size pickups are king. And no, it’s not wild to think that they are king over sedans and crossovers. Just like 700 square foot apartments stacked like cordwood aren’t king over 4000 square foot single family homes out in mother nature to any sane person. Get you some freedom while you still can David!

Perhaps it’s just the picture but I wouldn’t classify the Ranger as a junky car. It looks to be pretty decent. 200k miles in and of itself doesn’t automatically make a vehicle a junker. 2/4ths of my vehicles have well over 200k miles and they work great. Also it seems I have the same problem of having too many cars.

They do have column shifters on the lower trim levels in the current trucks but one of the beauties of the console lever shifter in the higher trim levels is it puts the manual shift buttons in an easy to reach and comfortable position. Not that one uses manual shift very often, but the +/- buttons are also used for PR…

This is the only time amber turn signals in the rear make sense. When they are physically distant from the brake light. Otherwise, you can’t see the thing when it’s right next to a bright red brake light and it makes a very dangerous situation especially at dusk. A red shared turn signal/brake light is much safer than…

I have an idea. Don’t play in traffic!

Here we go with more truck hate. Totally out of touch with American Culture.

Wow, people want to see race in everything these days. Talk about going full circle.

So satisfying to watch though.

So you really think a truck (Crown Vic) designed decades ago can out handle a modern car (Explorer)?
