Pines Ford’s Post

To add to Dai's post I just wanted to give a big SHOUT OUT to everyone that was involved pre-PS. Although it's quite a few years ago now, we had a brilliant team working on L663. Too many to mention but they know who they are! From Vehicle Engineering and Packaging to the CoC's, everyone played a part in making the new Defender what it is today. Rumour had it that L663 was the tenth attempt at replacing the original Defender. The old Landy was a very hard act to follow! It has to be said that without the passion, drive and influence of a certain Nick Rogers, the new Defender probably wouldn't have seen the light of day! What I find most satisfying is that the vehicle we see on the roads today is virtually unchanged from the original concept we developed in APC. Given the amount of time I spent in bucks, looking at CAD screens etc, it's quite ironic that I've yet to step foot in a production vehicle. I do read as many reviews as possible and virtually all things the press love about the vehicle materialised pre-PS. There surely can't be a better acknowledgement of all the great work done by that team than the reaction this vehicle has received. Something else was captured in that initial development phase that's more difficult to define in technical specifications and attribute charts, i.e. character! Personally I think the character of the vehicle is a result of JLR engineering magic! The passion that was sparked all those years ago has flourished and the results are clear for all to see 👏

Embarking on an overland adventure with your Ford, whether a Bronco, Explorer, Escape, pickup or any other 4WD or AWD model, is an exhilarating experience, but it comes with its own set of challenges.

The primary goal of the Ford Ranger Tremor package is to enhance the truck’s off-road capabilities. This is achieved by adding the Terrain Management System™ and Trail Control™. The Terrain Management System™ provides selectable driving modes for different terrains. At the same time, Trail Control™ is an off-road cruise control system that handles acceleration and braking, allowing the driver to focus on steering. In addition to these systems, the Tremor package includes a modified heavy suspension with higher ground clearance and FOX shock absorbers. This allows the Ranger to handle rough and uneven terrain with ease. The electronic-locking rear differential further improves mud, sand, or slush traction, while skid and bash plates protect the engine, fuel tank, and transfer case from damage. A ride height that's been raised by 26mm, while a 30mm wider track boosts its off-road ability. • 10-speed automatic gearbox • Skid plates • Black wheelarch mouldings • Black aluminium side steps • Black roll bar in the cargo bed • Exposed Tow hooks • Six upfitter switches • Bilstein dampers • FOX shocks • Modified heavy-duty suspension • Ford Trail Control • Trail Turn Assist • Terrain Management System • Water-resistant vinyl floor mats If you’re in the market for a pickup truck that offers enhanced off-road ability in challenging conditions, this could be the one for you.
