  1. Towing tech

    Given that a backup camera is now required anyway, an optional towing package with items #1 and #2 would be sufficient for me. Item #5 is likely to be included with any towing package. Items #4 and #6 have aftermarket products that can easily transfer from one vehicle to another without...

  2. What will be the Traveler's turning circle?

    Years ago I had a 1974 IH Scout II. It had the tightest turning radius of any car, SUV, or truck, I've ever owned. The wheel base was just 100 inches in length. Even with that short wheel base, it turned surprisingly sharp. Passengers would always be amazed when I made what seemed like a 90...

  3. Stereo / Audio System Brand - Poll

    A decent system properly designed for the Scout by nearly any brand would work for me. I don't need to wake up the neighborhood, or shatter windows, but I would like clean audio across a wide frequency spectrum. The B&O in my Bronco is good, but the Alpine that was in my 2018 JLUR Wrangler was...

  4. EREV battery capacity deploying 6x faster than BEVs. Implications for Harvester?

    For me, 150 miles on battery and 350 on gas sounds great. Provided I could fill the tank and continue without losing performance. Even with a low battery. With the EREV, 150 miles on battery would cover 90% of my use. Other times, even the BEV's 350 miles wouldn't be enough. I often pull a...

  5. Tank turn!

    The Bronco's Trail Turn Assist is different than a true Tank Turn, but it works, as do Turning Brakes on some Dune Buggies and tractors. Locking only the inside rear wheel so the differential diverts power to the outside rear wheel. I've used it on my Bronco and a dune buggy as well as my...

  6. Tank turn!

    The new Broncos with automatic transmissions have a function from the factory known as "Trail Turn Assist". The Wrangler JL series from 2018 and up don't provide this from the factory, but a programming module (Tazor JL mini) can do the same thing. It works by locking the inside rear wheel...

  7. Snow covered head lights on EV's

    Unfortunately where I'm at, I'd be using an awful lot of fluid on the occasions I've had issues with snow on LED headlights. When the temperature is within a few degrees of 32° Fahrenheit, heavy snowfall can be wet and sticky and builds up quickly. Thankfully, that only happens a few times a...
