your comment deserves a little editing or clarification in places: It is not "all non-consequental to an end buyer for personal use." The SAE will test and certify the GVRW and towing ability. Google SAE J2807. Exceed the GVRW at your own peril. You have voided your warrantee. You will be...

Big difference between the Broncho 6G and previous Broncho's. No rear leaf springs on the 6G, independant coil springs, larger tires with larger more flexible sidewalls, longer travel suspension = less load carrying ability, and decreased trailering ability. That's the compromise for increased...

I am not sure, but this may be related to center of gravity/tipping point concerns. The Squatch pkg raises these numbers a significant amount. The engineering envelope, I would think, accommodates this but may be approaching limits. As these things roll down the highways in addition to off...

Fun is good! As are Yooper CD's.

Choices, Amen. Winter tires help, but up here, doing 1500-2000 miles per month for the winter 5 or 6 months, they only last a couple years then it's a grand for another for a new set (mounted and balanced). Might be worth it? My experience is mud tires are a worse answer for ice and snow...

I think the engineering dept did a hell of a job on the Broncho, the marketing dept and their B&P models and groupings not so much, the production and assembly remains to be seen.

upon further review, I agree I absolutely agree. I got confused as I was trying to research the locking diffs and if they interacted with the "goat modes" or had to be selected separately. I am still confused about this. I have not seen a locking diff selection switch in any of the Broncho...

it is for off-road. Positraction very useful off road as in high articulation situations with one wheel free in air, deep mud, deep snow, dune running, bad boat landings, being stuck, come to mind. not good on pavement (drive train binding), glare ice, light snow. In these very low traction...

You do not want to use this on black ice. There is no side to side distribution, just locked. You will find yourself sideways in a heartbeat. Been there.

I am probably out. I need power adjustable seats due to back injury. requires going to OBX with lux pkg to get them + 2.7 + rear locker + hard top + roof rack + leather and I end up at $53,570. That’s pretty much $10,000 above a new 4runner Off Road Premium which would be similarly equipped and...
