Don't confuse explaining steps to the media and actually doing anything about quality, they are two entirely distinct and separate events. "Finding the root cause" is just management speak to appease the business media. I've worked at a large corporation and was assigned to several "root cause"...

So you're saying it could take just as long to get some Toyota's as it takes to get some Bronco's. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

No manual with "higher powered hybrid engine", Toyota says, hold my beer... Manual-Equipped Toyota Performance Hybrids May Be Coming Soon

Utility and Reliability, Priceless.

I've heard of example after example of the Bronco bonfire 💩 quality, the sad thing is, Ford could care less as they sell all they can make, but, I think that party will end sooner rather than later.

Many complain that Ford has to many Bronco trims which lead to delays and constraints... Toyota says, hold my beer....

According to industry insiders and connected enthusiasts the below rendering from CarBuzz is the closest to what the all new 2025 6th gen 4Runner will look like, however, it will not be as rounded as the rendering and will be closer to it's cousins, the Tacoma and the 2024 Lexus GX (see GX...

Yes, but look deeper at what it foretells of the upcoming Bronco size Land Cruiser and 6th gen 4Runner.

Bingo, an entire cabin's worth of screens, the year after SwissAir, 1999, definitely higher power then.

No, a high amperage unit over heated and ignited the cockpit liner that turned out to be more flammable that it should have been. There are no cases of the three jet engine DC-10 / MD-11 being brought down by bird strikes, see the link above for more details. By the way, the number one cause of...

Yes, a typical unknown chain of events, that when combined, lead to a catastrophic outcome. I remember the event well, I worked for a competitor at the time that had a similar LRU to the one that brand x was blamed for as the source of the overheating (they went bankrupt). Our unit drew 40 amps...

Okay, we will test your hypothesis, please explain: Which Bronco module could produce such an errant software event? Which connected engine mechanical part, fuel system component or electrical device would catch fire in your scenario? Do you really understand automotive systems or do you only...

Nice, Eclipse Aviation wanted me to move there but I decided I did not want to uproot my family. When they went bankrupt I knew I'd made the right decision.

Yes, I'm very familiar with embedded code, every system I've worked on has some. As a systems engineer my job is to understand cause and effect of all integrated systems. None of the common automotive sub-sytems have software failure modes that cause rubbing / abrading, loosen a fuel line...

Love the 10 Tanker, beautiful aircraft, amazing footage seeing it fly over the ridge tops. Did you take the pic at ABQ?

Yes, more likely a mechically loose fuel line connection, a rubbed / abraded leak in the fuel line, a short between two uninsulated wires, a bad battery, etc.

Flammable "software glitch", that's a new one. :unsure:

Clearly going back to all pre-electronic vehicles does not put you in the stone age, the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's prove my point. I've worked on plenty of pre-electronic ignitions (points, distributor caps, etc.) to know they work, they just require more maintenance and are not as...

I was simply pointing out the pitfalls of non-electronic systems for those that don't know what happens when you have no chips in your vehicle. Of course the bourdon tube water temp gauges were accurate. ;)

Exactly, you proved my point, just because it has chips does not mean it is unreliable.
