Yup, silence. The lack of sound is also important. As I wrote earlier, and maybe you could use a re-read there, the whole notion of "big loud engine" is dying like the coal mining and the under-paid poorly treated miners of black lung. The notion of fake audio for an exhaust is just playing...

As much as I appreciate an engine's capabilities, I actually want the opposite: quieter. I have no need to drive something that makes people notice by the sound of my proximity - I'm not an asshat riding a Harley and I'm certainly not needing to compensate for anything physically or emotionally...

If any of you caught the latest video of the Rivian T1 (I think that's the model) off roading in the desert with high-speed drive and rock crawling - yes, complete with IFS and IRS (haha) - then the partnership with Ford will definitely be at play. The Rivian has 4 electric motors, at each...

WTF Ford?! Can't even get your own tire line called Bronco?? Having tires that are named after a competitor is a deal breaker for me. (sarcasm)

Well, given that I expect my Bronco to have a layer of mud (San Gabriel Mountains), dirt (Eastern Sierras, White Mountains) or dust (Mojave, Sonoran, or Colorado deserts out here), this color will look mediocre unless sparkling clean. Other colors, however, may show up nicely as a contrast to...

But not having a render of this beast on 40" tires, portal axles, forward and reverse winch directly powered by the engine (it's been done on an original Land Rover Defender), 4 wheel steering, and a full rock slider running from front fenders down to lower body and back up around rear fenders...

Personally waiting for the 3rd or 4th MY - when there will be a "Raptor" edition and enough aftermarket parts have been developed for converting it into a proper overland build. Also that is when the giant red button will finally be available as a factory-installed option. All this leakage is...

Still no sign of the giant red button on the dash. May be a deal breaker for me at this point.

edit: I wrote this post in another thread (it was about the TFL video) but apparently an entirely different thread (this one) appeared that I did not know about, this was merged in... and here we are)

So you don't know what "Limited" actually means, do you? It's not "Limited Edition" - any person who thinks that is an idiot. If it's "Limited Edition" that would infer a limited number of vehicles produced under that trim, which is nonsense given the number produced. "Limited" has always...

You should look up the term "Confirmation Bias" ie, if something is on your mind, you are more likely to see it. (example: thinking about Broncos lately? You're somehow now seeing more older model Broncos on the road than you were before, even though their rate of appearance is not any...

But which Trim level includes the giant red button?

Also, did you know that 93% of all stats are made up on the spot to seem plausible?

Disappointed the videographer did not continue to stalk the driver to the point of creating a tense atmosphere of fear and dread just so forum dwellers can get more visuals.

Pinzgauer + modifications or Volvo c303 + modifications.
