    It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

    Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.




  • The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.

    Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.

    My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.
