The only lights it controls on my 21 are the under dash lights that light the floorboard area. The manual mentions door handle lights and possibly something else ( without looking it up), but I get nothing else.🤷🏼♂️
Even if slightly de-tuned Ford will keep the numbers higher for hype. Question is, with the announced demise of the Hellcats will there be a swan-song TRX with the ~800hp engine to counter. If they do OMG- the price, the markups!! If they do it should be announced with the Raptor R production...
Well, a NA V8 vs a boosted V6 could be competitive (doesn’t the latest Ford GT run one) of course, boosting the V8 Just Might make it laughable! Edit-memory flash, during the classic muscle car era a friend had a blown big GMC 6 in a 55 Chevy, it was the definition of a sleeper.
“ Buckle Up—Economy Standards Getting Tougher” (also emissions) Muscle Cars and Trucks. Long story short- want one of these Beasts? Do it NOW! They want new regs by March 2024 .😡
Yep- increases throttle response, raises shift points, allows rear locker. OR+ on, press and hold traction control for ~ 5 seconds to disable nannies,your set. But did he do it? Torque reserve? He didn’t mention any of these, 15’s ? Many videos of high 12’s, even with non XR’s🤷🏼♂️
🍺 had one? If so and have relaxed— bumper + lift and tires to increase break over, winch, anchors and tools, could be an expensive experience. Have another 🍺. I’ll have one for you, Cheers 😊
Grew up with my Dad and his buddies getting together at his commercial garage to “work” every Tuesday night. Mil., 2A, his 3A (family heirloom), 3B-Studebaker 6, 5-Ford V8, Wagon- Chevy, 2 Jeepsters- 1 stock, 1 4WD- Chevy, others sometimes. I was taught to drive it as soon as I could so I could...

As memory serves, the reduction from 9 to 7 slots was to make room for larger headlights on CJ’s and avoid legal issues with Ford producing 9 slots. I was waiting for the diesel production to start but V8 rumors started about the same time. Finally- the first Jeep ever, CJ or Wrangler to have...
A neighbor has a nicely modded always spotless (as opposed to mine) 2 dr. ruined by a hideous angry grill (IMO), but but-beauty is in the eye- he’s the one climbing into it- his money- etc. Still wave back

It would have been very interesting had you recalibrated to smallest possible tire size (cheat limiter) and got a 1/4 mi. time & speed with 33’s. XR with the
much lower gears I expected more than the small difference over non XR so it must be tire weight & rotational mass. Oh well- someone...
Elimination kits are available but require internal value train mods. Unfortunately as a Ca resident we can’t even install a different tube with an air cleaner on the end unless CARB approved. A tune will flunk smog test unless approved. Good luck!
And 12’s were bumping the speed limiter or times would have been better ( they should have programmed for the smallest possible tires to gain as much top speed as possible)
Yep- Off-road + functions similar to sport mode on my GC SRT with the Very Unfortunate difference that it Doesn’t Disable MDS like the GC. After turning on OR+ press and hold traction control for a few seconds and it will disable stability control,your set.
Manual shift disables, I tap it into manual when cruising at constant speed, even short distances in town to keep 4-cyl mode to a minimum. Elimination kits are available but require internal eng mods so after warranty expires.
