Do we know if these are squatch models ?
Quick cheat when wondering if something is squatched, look for the wider transition piece on the rear bumper to fill the gap to the wider fender flares that cover the wider 315s (35” tires).

(Obviously this is a quick and dirty, and doesn’t always mean it’s a full squatch, just that it has the wider flares typically found on the squatch)

I love the videos, but I'm probably with about 95% of the others for the first couple of years...I'll take the easy trails with my $50k Bronco. lol

thanks a lot... was finally settled on carbonized gray but now black is back in the mix ?

just have to keep reminding myself that black will be dirty by the time I make it to my garage from the carwash...

Pretty good footage. Is the high and low speed creaking from the suspension normal for newer vehicles?

Oh man, just watched a bit more, they sure did durability test those skid plates :).

Camera mics are real sensitive to those noises. They can pick up sounds you don’t even hear (or maybe notice is more appropriate).
I wouldn’t worry about it.

It’s not that the gray top looks bad by itself, it’s the contrast with all the other body plastics — they’re black plastic. Check out the B pillar vs hardtop. That’s three main colors (including the paint), which is too many.

Yea seems like a lot of creaking and rattling.
I doubt they are to worried about it as these are just test mules as long as the mechanics hold up thats all that maters to them.

100 percent true this type of testing is going to sound a lot worse then it is .

No DRL on the standard headlights? Not on the 2 door in this video.

For those complaining about the creaking and rattling, they aren’t being gentle on these. But I have also never been able to drive a vehicle in sand and not had the gritty stuff get all over and make noise. A simple pressure wash and it will all be quiet again.
