Tremor comes with Mud/Ruts and Sand mode which means those can be activated via Forscan and also the new “off road” mode.
It is extremely hard to understand because the engine and transmission are not the AWD system. The 8F35 nor eco boost make an ounce of difference in the slip test.
wondering the same thing in another thread where this video and one with the rav4 hybrid was posted. in some of these tests there doesn't seem to be anything mechanical/physics based that would stop the vehicles from performing better.
Tommy did say in the video that he was surprised because the Bronco Sport performed better. Maybe the ruts weren't as profound.
I'm still fully convinced that ford is intentionally gimping the torque vectoring so they can sell more fx4 and tremor packages. It's literally as simple as making it apply the brakes more to the free spinning wheel.
FX4 provides skid plates, AT tires, hill descent, upgraded radiator cooling capacity, and tow hooks. Plus some drive modes that can be added to other models via Forscan.
did you add me to your ignore list or what? if so someone else can reply with this so you see it, but YOU actually commented first in this thread about those drive modes being removed and replaced with off-road for 2025. then magically you forget about that and start a new argument?
here's the symbols for 2025. I didn't bother screenshotting the explanation of these drive modes, you can look it up.
That was the Bronco Sport Badlands. It has a different AWD system. It's a twin clutch rear drive unit with advanced 4x4 Trail Control. Basically the same as the Tremor. All the other versions of the Bronco Sport have the same AWD as the non Tremor Mavericks.
You are correct. He did say Badland.
Call me insane then.... trying to do offroading in a vehicle that was never meant to do any. It makes as much sense as going skating on a bicycle.
Until the last summer, I had an AWD Subaru Legacy - an amazing city car that does extremely well in most severe city/highway driving conditions. Would anyone in sound mind take it on an off-roading test? No. Same applies to that Maverick.
But really I was just a teenager in Wyoming who's hand me down car was a 12yr old Subaru wagon. It had true 4wd and the spare tire was next to the carberator LOLOLOLOL.
I drove a 98 subaru outback wagon for yearssss in Alaska, I LOVED that thing. truth be told, I truly did. it went everywhere, it was manual, AWD. only got rid of it because got totaled t boned.Call me insane then.
That car could go ANYWHERE even on bad tires. Low low 1st gear and low power engine meant it crawled up lots of stuff my truck-driving buddies thought would be impossible....
what! must have been a 2.2L if you didn't have the blown headgasket issue that pretty much every early 2.5L developed sooner or later.
