New Ford Crawling

[EpicCowlick]

Went over the trail to Tower Arch in Arches last weekend. The Ford has cool technology to help the descent. Here's a video:

Looks similar to Toyota's crawl control.

I guess I'm just talented with a foot on the gas, the brake and the clutch...

I guess they decided they needed something since they discontinued the ZF-6speed with the granny gear

Any properly geared trail rig will do the same but it is cool that they have put that into a production rig.

I also believe that other companies have done similar systems (Land Rover seems to stick in my head)

Yeah, I think we're going to see a lot more of these systems in factory vehicles. One thing I absolutely love is the electronic locking rear dif. It's a simple pull of a knob on the dash and the rear end is fully locked. And this straight from Ford. No need for an ARB.

The "extreme territory" commentary made me chuckle!

I laughed when they mentioned the "g-sensor" I always have thought Toyota's were hip, but I didn't know they had a sensor to tell them how cool they really are. :greg:

Pretty cool feature

It really seems like Ford held nothing back with their new trucks. In an offroad sense there are a ton of great features compared to the other diesel trucks on the market.

Well, Toyota's are marketed more toward women than men these days....

The ZJ was marketed to women... just sayin.
