Post your off-road pics.

Send it! Haha. Thanks @jlmotox for the awesome pic

That looks like an awesome time!

That photo really showcases the (lack of) front suspension articulation though.

I wonder how much better one of the aftermarket suspensions would do in that situation.

If you ever upgrade your suspension, that spot is the perfect place to highlight the improvements.

To be fair, anything with a sway bar is going to be like that. Even a solid axle jeep can't articulate unless the sway bar is disconnected.

I'm on icon 2.5s with arms haha. Sway bar disconnect would help there

Out of curiosity, what marketing have you seen regarding U.S. releases? Media or print? If its print, is there any way you can get a link or pic of it? I’d love to show it to some of my contacts.

I deal with G.M. Holden as well and they have the same problem not knowing whats happening in the U.S. even though the testing is supposed to be the same.

Just out of curiosity, can you tell us anything about these pics? Supposedly that is not a colorado? They are using it to test the Everest frame and suspension for the new bronco? It looks like the plates are in Michigan. This was from an autoblog and have no idea how trustworthy they are.

Looks to be from last spring/summer. .

I found that out last month when I wanted to play around for a bit and get the truck dirty. Terrible articulation.

I was by myself so did not want to get too crazy but the right rear tire was off the ground about an inch. Hardly any frame flex though!

That's a leaf sprung solid axle's biggest limitation. Tbf I would say that's pretty damn good for leaf sprung. A coil sprung rear end would be sweet on the Ranger. Maybe once the Bronco comes out, the aftermarket can steal some ideas for a coil spring rear end swap

Got a little bit dirty taking the real off-road machine to the trails ?

 

[RoadBoss]

just uploaded a video to my youtube of a trip from last fall, pushing my ranger pretty hard over some rough terrain.

Gnarly!

Not much of a hard core offroader, but gave it a shot today...

Excuse me, I don't see enough dirt on that. You also might want to see the dealer about that fuel door, it looks like it might be hard to open.

Rear doors might not be installed correctly to function as well!
