You are correct, it's basically a remote check-engine-light feature. However, I would disagree to say that the added capability of SOTA would degrade your in-field repair of a vehicle.

"I don't like the new Defender" Ok, no problem, I do though "WELL I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT" Ok... "INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION IS HORRIBLE" Seems to work really well for me "NOPE ITS LUXURY ****************" Seems to work really well for me "I HATE THE DEFENDER" OK so don't buy one? "IM NOT GOING TO ITS...

^ That's a unibody Fiat Ducato. Sold as RAM promaster, and it is a front wheel drive, unibody vehicle. It's everything everyone here is arguing against - "tradition" Why do people keep misunderstanding this? Being able to update modules over the air in no way means you can't repair your car if...

HOW DARE YOU POST A UNIBODY, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE AMONGST TRUCKS?!?!?!?!?!?!? Oh - right. Things progress.

Every ad?

Dude. You could be a millionaire dude. Or a billionaire. Please please please show us how to design things for infinite life. Dig carefully.

Or you can just keep it maintained. If there's no leaks, you're fine. If you notice it start to drop, fix the leak (I did O-rings in my front valve block). If you ignore it forever, you'll burn out the compressor. And then burn it out again, and again, and again. It's really not that...

It was a joke. Air springs can leak, but not sag. The only way you're going to bumpstops is with a catastrophic failure - which can happen with a leaf spring too (want pics?) Air springs are also serviceable. You can also pick your time frame and budget. You're also incorrect - you cannot let...

You know what springs don't sag? Air springs. *watches heads spontaneously combust*

Spring steel is spring steel. It sags over time, there's just no way to get around material properties. Yes cheap stuff doesn't last as long but no matter domestic or japanese I can't think of any vehicle I've owned or been around with leafs which didn't sag by 150k, much less 400k. And I'm all...

400k miles on the original leafs?

A few factually inaccurate statements for the 06+ list: -Wheel sizes range from 17", not 19". -The TC system works great. And you can't compare a factory TC system to aftermarket lockers. Compare stock for stock please. -You can service and air suspension, and 'normal' suspension has similar...

This is clearly just trying to get a rise out of people. You post this then say not to get your heart rate up? I've been in the backcountry in Death Valley five times now, including up Echo. There's opinion and then there's lying. hahahahhahha

I think we've beaten the solid front axle bit to death already. The industry has moved away from the solid front. It's just fact. If you really want to stick to old tech (like me with my manuals), you can just buy an older car.

A vehicle with better angles than a Rubicon and 10/13" of suspension travel is hardly a 'completely different set of priorities' under the same name. Not in this case. But, it has happened: "Nissan Pathfinder"

We may lose that option as well on certain roads. That's the simplest way to increase throughput without worrying about the human factor.

I'd argue that there is an enormous amount of work which is accomplished on iPhones every day. I know I do. Ultimately, the truth is that no matter how much you disagree with a design decision made by a company, you cannot do anything other than rage/hate on it (and vote with your wallet). Same...

Hey guys, I'm REALLY upset the iphone no longer has a headphone port. I WANT TO LIVE IN THE NOW. Also somebody took the floppy drive out of my PC. ******. Nobody is stopping you from driving an older car man. Just drive the older car... why rant about the Defender...

You edited your post. I read it fine the first time. Again, you're still wrong, because you don't get to decide what the priorities are. Thankfully. You just have an opinion and you're working really hard to express something you cannot change.

You're factually wrong. Because as far as we can tell, this thing will actually handle decently on road. EAS and IFS will make that happen. So yes - that is a priority. Your *opinion* is that it should not be a priority. But it is. Fact. You cannot argue fact.
