There probably isn’t a Suspension Deep Dive vehicle I’ve anticipated more than the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor. But I tend to say that every time I get my hands on an all-new vehicle. It was true before I laid hands on the 2022 Ford Bronco I looked at recently, and I had the same thought […] January 12, 2022 at 07:01AM

It has been over a year since I pieced together a Ford Bronco speculative suspension deep dive using preliminary specifications, comparisons to the overseas-market Ranger Raptor, and teaser photos of a naked chassis. Today the specs are more complete, and I’ve been able to lay my hands on the real thing for a closer look […] November 04, 2021 at 07:03AM

It can be easy to be dismissive of Porsche interiors. Sometimes the standard cabin feels like an afterthought compared to performance.

The 2022 Ford Maverick will be accessible in three trim levels that ought to be recognizable to any current or previous Ford pickup proprietor: XL, XLT Lariat. All have a similar taxi size, bed length and standard hybrid powertrain, so the circumstance is impressively easier than picking among Rangers and F-150s. Here is a breakdown […] June 10, 2021 at 07:04AM

It occurred on the path, in parking garages, and at home in my own carport. “Is this the new Bronco?” they’d ask while pointing at the word ‘BRONCO’ illuminated in large square letters across the front grille. “I thought it’d be bigger.” My confounded inquisitors were right, the new Bronco IS greater. What they were […] June 04, 2021 at 07:03AM
