Fair enough. In the west a lot of public lands roads lay through mountains and hills. Some of them are quite stiff and just for confidence I would feel safer to put it in awd low, which is not available in the Transit. I am very curious how did you deal with situations such as stiff hills...

I don’t disagree with what you have said. I fact many of your points make sense. I just want to be able to have a van with which I can drive on BLM roads on public lands and stay overnight to hike or hunt sharptails or chukars... and all of that without getting bogged down in in a dirt. I care...

Basically the ford transit factory awd is useless. This is the impression one might get. Unlike the sprinter that does not need the whole suspension lift. So disappointing, I was so hopeful of ford’s affordability and availability + awd capability... but It seems in order to have a somewhat...

It would be great it a vendor or vendors developer a separate gear reduction device that could be coupled with the stock Central differential. A low range with a 2:1 gear would be totally enough for this application. It’s worth noting that the Spriner’s low range gear is only 1.7:1.

Is Ford going to discontinue the 6.2 gas in F250 series since they have designed a newer engine coupled with 10 speed? The are still offering it now but how long is it gonna last? To my knowledge the new 7.3 engine is lighter, smaller and get very similar mpg. any thoughts?

National parks. Soon enough we will see mcmansions mounted on trucks.

You are not wrong. In fact I myself drove a Mitsubishi L200 in Alps and as yourself I was impressed with the overall performance and mpg. We had 4 people in the cabin, gear, bags, and 3 dogs... and it still gave us good mpg. 8.5 L/100 km which is roughly equals 28.mpg. Given the fact half of the...

Is not this rig kind of too big?

Now the awd selection works on the website. I was able to build a good awd van. A question for experience vaners. - is it to stupid to want a low roof, short model, crew cab van for overlanding purposes? As opposed to med or high roof long models?

The ford website is not showing a selection for diesel or awd system. I guess it’s not yet it available.

My sister has lived in northern Italy for years. Just left for the Nederland. She hikes in alps and believe me there are small towns and villages, very beautiful, you won’t be able to drive anything but Fiat and Renault. The scale is very different on the other side of the ocean. They have...

Nah... tundra is way behind in any directions now. What the new Nissan Titan has got is the modern simplicity. It’s jut right.

Nissan Titan 2020 with a new 9 speed with a factory locker.

I have found these images showing the Australian / Euro version of the Tranist AWD system. This one is coupled with a manual gearbox, but the TC is basically integrated into it. At least that is how I interpret it. However, The other pictures posted in this thread are showing somewhat...

I think some day, hopefully soon, some vendors will figure out a coil spring conversion kit for the new defender. Until then we only have to hope they have actually put heavy duty off-road capability in the air suspension.

It’s very disappointing that ford only vaguely explained how this awd system works on transit. After doing some research on Ford’s awd system I came across this video that shows an oversees transit, which, according to the chief engineer works on a wet clutch and can be permanently locked with...

Has anyone here had an experience with that 2.0 engine? Is it going to be enough for a loaded 110?

Does anybody know what is the low range gear ratio ? (FYI the rubicon is 4:1) And the axle gears ?

yeah the 10 speed really makes the difference.

I don’t think Toyota has ever created a vehicle more beautiful than the fj60. Well done sir.
