Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

[kodiakisland]

I don't think I've ever driven a stick anything with more than 200hp lol. I would LOVE to get a chance to try it in a mustang or a hellcat challenger or a vette.

The nice thing once you get over 400hp you almost can't kill it even if you try.

Can attest to that! Hated driving my buddies focus with a manual with only 150h120t. Wanted to stall so bad, felt like I was over Revving every time.

however my 454 work truck (had a crawler gear) couldn’t be stalled at all!

then my bosses twin turbo m3 Could almost drive itself. Then again I wasn’t under 3000 rpm a lot.

but no SAsQuaTcH!

He uses the final drive ratio for Sasquatch for the calculation. What is final drive ratio for the non squatch.

you can get the 4.7 rear and manual ONLY on the badlands package. Same thing as sasqutch but with 0.5” less lift and 33” tires.

What I cannot find anywhere is if the crawler gear is locked out until you put the vehicle into 4Lo?

I remember seeing somewhere that Ford said you would not even need to disengage the clutch to start the truck while in crawler gear. Just crank over and you're off, pretty awesome!

Err. Hoping for sarcasm because of clutch safety switch. Sorry if I didn't see it.

Just a thought on by passing the clutch safety switch (as I did on my old Ranger PU). Would this confuse the computer as it would think the clutch is always disengaged (ie driving mode response)?

There was no way to know so, welcome back!

Yep
Or, maybe search is a way to see if a youtube video from July made it on here before today.

Imagine the work the brakes have to do to stop all that torque.... better have some good brakes

Not all of us press the brake and the gas at the same time
