I think it's a combination of fake news and confirmation bias perpetuated by social media. If you think the states should reopen with precautions you don't care if people die. If you think we should take a vaccine you're just trying to track me. It's ridiculous and needs to stop. Somewhere in the middle is all the common sense we seem to have lost along the way. well put...the rhetoric has become tiresome....as for polls, I don't take much umbrage to how Americas thought patterns and opinions are focused when the poll is based on 650 individuals who answered their landline....ahem..

I hope that's just because it's a base trim and not available. My guess is it's a low optioned high trim model, because it does have the massive center screen. We saw a smaller screen in other spy shots, which presumably would be lower trims. So think of Edge ST - where the "base" ST (400A) comes with heated seats standard, but you have the option of the 401A package that adds cooled front seats, heated rear seats and a bunch of other gizmos. I think Mustang is like this too, so it's definitely not unprecedented at Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Do we even know if ventilated seats are going to be an option? I went to the Jeep website and didn’t see it as an option on the rubicon. I would assume the bronco and the Jeep probably have a waterproof material of some sort for the seats which might make it harder to have ventilated seats.

They don't want to deal with user-protection laws. Many of my clients do the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally takes a page or two for the masks to come off and the insults to really get going. We need some new vehicle releases to get everyone's minds back on why we're here on BON.

T-dubz Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I like the ventilated seats too, but those require a perforated seating surface, and I’m not sure you can have that with a waterproof material. I don’t know how the seats work, but I’d imagine there’s some sort of tubing that pumps the air. Imagine if it started raining when you had the top off. That tubing would just fill up with water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 That is the one thing I’ve been wondering about-how they are handling weatherproofing the interior when you have the top off and it rains. I’m still scarred to this day of seeing a late 1980s vette with its top down and a downpour happening and it getting completely soaked inside.

Gnostic Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I had a beat up 93 mustang convertible, with cloth seats. I used to carry garbage bags to put over them if I left the top down and it rained. Edited May 29, 2020 by Gnostic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tubing would just fill up with water I suspect you could solve this with either a one way valve similar to a check valve and/or by providing drainage holes in the tubing.

tbone Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 In case you hadn’t seen it, there’s a video of three Broncos four wheeling in Georgia.

buddysystem Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 In that video, around 0:34 the drivers side rear wheel is braking while a left turn in happening. What is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing that happens with stability control. The inside rear wheel brakes helping the front to turn. This appears to be the 4wd version.
