Thanks for the clarification. It seemed like you were suggesting the current platform used a viscous connection to drive the front differential. I see now the poster was confused between the older transverse platform and the current non-transverse platform.

From the 2020 Explorer Service Manual: Transfer case The Transfer Case is a gearbox that attaches to the output shaft of the transmission through a splined input at the transfer case. Torque from the transmission is transferred to the rear driveshaft through the transfer case mainshaft. When...

Push the button that turns it off when you start the car? I mean, doesn't it suck that you have to push the "start" button to turn the car on? Don't even get me started on the seatbelt! Seriously, there is an autostart eliminator you can buy, it's about 100.00.

I've had my 2020 for over 18 months. No rattles, no squeaks. YMMV. Not the most plush leather or greatest interior, but everything else is top notch. Go drive one, don't post on the internet for random input.

I'm talking about off-road and on-road. No comparison...not that the outbacks aren't nice vehicles, but the ST is better in every single way. As far a high winds, I'm not sure any vehicle would claim that high mph crosswinds aren't a problem.

It's certainly as capable (and much faster) than an outback! (former outback and baja owner).

Are you saying that the ST has a viscous coupling in the transfer case? I think you are wrong.

I didn't say it was impossible, just extremely difficult. I googled both of those engines, and didn't see hp numbers out of the Aston, but did see the 654 from the Ferrari. As far as trickery, they do have 8000+ redlines and dry sumps, and likely (didn't find info) heavily head-based cooling...

LOL, I thought you were posting to be funny (sand car, ha ha) so I responded in kind. But since you seem to be serious, what dimensions? With turbos or not? How about exhaust and intake manifolds, fuel pump, turbo piping, radiator, etc, etc, etc. What trans would you use- do you need an...

29x21x14x32 It can't not fit in your sand car unless you never don't fit it not.

The honest truth is that it is extremely difficult to produce more than 200 hp/liter on 93 octane. So for the ST, that would be approx 600 crank hp. I'm not familiar with the limits of the stock fuel system, but you'd need north of 5 lbs/min with the added caveat of flow rates of the injectors...

I have never downloaded an app to my phone...including FordPass. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I value my privacy. 90% of my browsing is incognito mode. And no, I've never been convicted of a felony!

Just like you can now control your home systems from your phone, your TV and entertainment system from your phone, ad nauseum. Your seating preferences, key, everything will be on your phone. And you can bet- every frigging thing you do, everywhere you visit, how fast you drive, on and on; all...

@UNBROKEN is right, new android system coming- Synch on it's way out.

I followed the previous thread on this same problem with some interest just from a forensics POV. It's definitely an engineering change since not only was one bolt/bushing removed on passenger side, but the driver's side bushing was changed as well. It very well could be for a $20 savings...

800 hp at the wheels would be approximately 870 crank hp. 870 crank hp would take an estimated (optimistic) 85-90 lbs/min air mass. Figuring a 12:1 air to fuel ratio means you'd require 7-8 lbs/min of fuel (and 93 is about 6 lbs/gallon). If the pump/injector combo can produce that output you...

To provoke some convo, and to make things even easier, here's another option for those who really wish to optimize performance,and enjoy a louder exhaust. Understand that I'm not doing anything to my own ST until the turbo options (which may not ever be available) are up to the task. But, for...

That's probably true. Coming from a performance background, I'm just putting out information for those few people who are looking to optimize the platform while getting the best "bang for the buck". And as I stated in my first point, if your goal is to change the acoustics, buy whatever...

Yes.
