I've been in some cars that you can turn the lights off, but on the key cycle they will return to auto as a default (kinda like the auto start/stop). However if it's actually turning the lights to "on" that doesn't seem right.
My point is I'm curious how much extra money they made on people upgrading to Badlands to get the manual and mid, versus how much was lost on people that stuck with 7spd BD or BB and base trim that would have spent the extra money on the mid package if it were available. Maybe those numbers are...
But what about all the manual guys that would have bought the mid if it was available but stuck with base? I would have guessed that would mostly even it out. Either that or their margins on the Badlands are huge.
Has anybody actually figured out a good reason for Ford to not offer this combo? Would it be possible to pressure Ford into offering it like we did with the manual trans on the Sasquatch? It doesn't make any sense to me why it isn't available other than to force the manual enthusiasts into a...
I always thought surely it would be possible with the bronco because it has an electronic park brake and electronic transfer case. so surely if it can tell if the brake is set and the t-case is in neutral it could start. I know that isn't the normal way of doing it, but it sure seems like one...
I know that system pressures are controlled by disengaging the clutch, but I don't know of a vehicle that regulates the temp of the evaporator that way. I've been around vehicles that the AC works well enough to freeze the evaporator, and the way to prevent it is more fan speed, because there's...
I wonder if, since you're on the lowest fan speed, it's sensing the evaporator start to freeze up so it's increasing airflow to prevent that from happening.
The area where the solid axle wrangler has the advantage is extreme rock crawling. It's easier to add some lift and swap springs to get some pretty incredible wheel travel. There are also arguments to be made in favor of the solid axle as far as strength and reliability, (which I agree with) but...
In the few new Fords that I've driven with 4A, I avoid running it. I hate the way I can feel it slam the transfer case into gear when it starts to slip. If I know it's slick out I just throw it in 4H and run that way.
I agree with you as far as needing to get the gate AND the glass open. But on my 79 if I need to throw something small in I just roll down the window and I don't touch the spare or tailgate. I like the new style in theory, but I wish you didn't have to open the swing gate to get the glass open.
Those aren't bad, but in my opinion if they look like steel they might as well be cheap like steel. If I'm gonna spend the money for alloys I prefer something like this.
If you really want a diesel, it needs an om603 or om606 mercedes. Still inline 6 mechanical diesels, but a lot more suited to the Bronco and its engine bay
