Of course not with current transmission - it's conceptual, and we need to ignore durability, but a transmission could certainly be designed and the physics are still valid, it could easily power a semi.

It's not intuitive, but torque doesn't do any "work" that's why HP is king. You can put a big breaker bar on a bolt, you can apply lots of torque to that bolt but if it doesn't move, no work is being done....aka you don't actually do anything. Again, we can use a more extreme example....which...

Based on this from ARB: https://www.arb.com.au/assets/air-lockers/2-RD219.pdf The front R&P of the global Ranger is 190mm, which is the same size as the US spec front diff.

You going to explain why?

T Not true Bill - HP does decrease with increased HP in many cases as torque falls off. The point is that HP is a measure of "work" while torque is not. High torque engines, in general, tend to be heavy duty, heavy reciprocating mass with heavy flywheels, which is generally what people...

+1, I remember reading the same thing about premium fuel....

That article is in 100% alignment with what I said... I'll have this conversation with you but you gotta play nice.

It's complicated but HP is a measure of "work" torque is not. While you are correct that HP is calculated.....just knowing torque #'s does not tell you anything about the engines capacity to do work. The numbers are interrelated obviously and the relationship is complicated, but 300 hp is 300...

All those silly saying don't mean much, HP is what ultimately makes a rig move and what creates work. 800 ft lbs and 200 hp vs 400 ft lbs and 400 hp, the latter is going to be able to do more work.

Hope you don't mind, I posted a pic of your rig over here: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/opinions-solicited-another-head-scratching-mid-size-truck-choice-thread.211060/page-4 I think your rig perfectly nails that "global" expedition look....

Looks great - I have the exact same wheels coming on the same color truck.:thumbsup:

Sweet - just ordered some 16" steelies and the same size Nokian studded LT3 winter tires....

very cool! Looks like a proper global Ranger...love it! Did those come stock? What size tires?

Sorry - on modern vehicles there really is no reasonable way to do this. You stand a fighting chance if both models were here in the US from the start and you could convert using used parts of a wrecked rig... Have you looked at the mustang gear ratios? Generally speaking, car trans and truck...

Fair enough...I hear ya. It really comes down to ability to gear within certain parameters and power application. Theory is one thing, where HP is king, application in the real world is more reliant on application or *HP* under curve and torque rise as you point out. But the reality is, a...

The problem with what you are saying is it doesn't account for RPM. Torque is meaningless without RPM and the minute you bring RPM into the equation....you have horsepower. It's a bit of a semantics argument, kinda chicken and egg, but from an engineering perspective it truly does come down to...

+1....it's pretty dang quick as it stands, I can't imagine needing any more horsepower at the expense of mileage....

Not so fast, it's actually the opposite, torque is largely a meaningless figure. To find out how much "work" something can do you need to account for time....aka RPM. You are right in that we use equation/math that utilizes torque and RPM to calculate HP....but at the end of the day, 500 hp is...

Looks damn near perfect! Really nice work...

Looked at your website, do you have install instructions?
