Hey, I'm heading up to Mammoth this weekend and was thinking of hitting up Laurel Lake. The trail looks really doable and I'm almost certain I've driven worse and rougher trails. Have you driven it? Do you think it'd be fine?
As far as I can tell there may just be a clearance issue but so long...
I wouldn’t and here’s why…
Last night, as I'm starting to get ready for my Mammoth Mountain 4th of July trip, I was thinking about how many miles I have on the car and how many of those have been off road. The reason this came up was because I was looking at youtube videos of trails in the area...
Good calls, I’ll disagree with the automatic hatch. Putting that on decreases how much you can put on the roof and I just don’t see Ford doing that on a car that is marketed like the sport is.
I could very well be wrong though.
My hope would be they add tilting seats or a seat extender for...
The car is surprisingly good at high, highway speeds. Nice and stable, quiet, actually reminiscent of the Germans I drive.
Around town it’s a bit of a boat but that’s expected.
That’s kinda shocking considering they’re made on the same platform, at the same factory by the same people. I imagine the materials and tolerances are different then.
Hey great review. I agree with quite a bit of it. I had one random thought while reading it and it was why don’t all models have tow/recovery points?
Regardless of model it seems like a good thing to have in case you ever get stuck anywhere really.
That does look fun and the car doesn’t get enough respect. Yes you do have to pick your lines more carefully as you apparently know judging from the lines you took, but the thing will go and its awd system consistently impresses.
There’s a guy I play hockey with, good dude but kinda old and surly…all I have to say to him is, “Hey John did you hear what that liberal politician did?”…and he’ll get all pissed off and go on 20min rant.
Yea, it wasn't fun. At first I was super careful but then that would pull me into the ruts. Then to avoid the ruts I had to drive closer to the edge, which brought me in contact with the brush, but I was going super slow.
After we hit the point where I couldn't go any further, I kinda lost it...
Yea it was…I’m actually stuck in the car my dad had to get out and help. I was actually kinda livid and now nearly two weeks later I’ve had to pay for a new tire and rim to fix what that did.
