    I love people bitching about fuel economy in a PERFORMANCE vehicle. Let me put this in perspective for you. In 1971, I bought a Ford Bronco. It had a 205 hp, 302 V8, and the best mileage it ever got was 15.5 mpg at 55 miles per hour. Now, let's all get nostalgic about "the good old days"...

    • @jldude84
      @jldude84 4 года назад

      Mpg is more dependent on vehicle weight than the engine's power all else equal. Obviously with ~50 years difference things are gonna be more efficient but curb weight still remains the biggest factor in a vehicle's fuel economy. Which is why a 2002 Corvette Z06 gets the same 28mpg EPA rated hwy fuel economy as a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 4-cyl with well over twice the horsepower.

    I have never enjoyed a truck as much as my ‘17 Raptor. This is the longest I have kept any truck. That being said, I ordered my TRX two months ago. Exhaust note was one of the deciding factors, but overall the truck performs flawlessly. The Baja suspension floats down any road, and exceeds many luxury vehicles for ride. I have put three different exhausts on it trying to find the right note. It’s impossible. The augmented note can be disabled in ForScan, and additional features unlocked.

    4wd Auto uses an electromagnetic clutch in the transfer case to engage the front wheels. The truck will send power to the rear wheels as long as no slippage is identified. Once the vehicle senses slippage it will engage the transfer case clutch, which will then split power to the front and rear wheels.

    The 4Auto in the Ford and GMC act as an AWD system. So it stays in 2wd until it slips and engages the front wheels that are needed. My 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 has it and that’s what it tells you is AWD not 4Auto. And the sound isn’t technically faked, it takes the engine noise and amplifies it so you can hear it that’s why it doesn’t change it’s the same noise.

    The 4 auto is essentially AWD where it is primarily rear wheel drive until slip is detected and then a multi- plate clutch between the drivetrain and rear driveshaft kicks in and sends power to the front wheels . At highways speeds on dry pavement the clutch obviously wouldnt slip and youd remain 2wd rear

    About the Raptor size. While it is over 80”, which is why it has the DOT mandatory lights, the parking in Boulder is related to city policy. Cities control the regulations for parking space width. Some cities, like Bolder, mandate narrow parking spaces. There are a many reasons given for this, more parking in the same space, less hard cover, etc but the often unstated reason is social engineering. The reasoning is that smaller spaces will influence people to buy smaller vehicles. Austin, TX had a similar policy a few decades ago, I’m not sure it’s still effect.

    Thank for the video gentlemen. I've had a different experience with the BFG KO2's.

I run dedicated studded snow tires on my F150 in the winter and nothing beats them...period. In my opinion and experience, if one doesn't want to buy actual snow tires, the Goodyear Duratracs are impressive in snow and ice, much better than BFG's, especially if you stud them.

    My brother in law has one and it is sweet. But one thing about it bugged me. On the inside of the doors on the front seats, where the window meets the sill, it has a really sharp angle. Almost like they forgot to put some trim in and you can see the hard plastic just forming this odd sharp squared off edge. I’ve never seen a car with a window sill that looked like that. Normally they’re rounded or covered. It seemed absurdly cheap looking for such an expensive car. Does yours have a square bare hard plastic in that corner of the trim? Just on the inside driver and passenger side window just opposite of the rear view mirrors?
