Also, if the water is deep enough to splash (versus just spray), you’re probably fine. Just don’t freak out when you feel a little tug on the wheel. Read more

Also note: a (big) rain presents the most dangerous road conditions at the beginning of the event - as oils and debris disperse across the road, before they are eventually washed away through gutters and drains. This phenomena is most evident the longer the dry spell before the rain. Read more

I’ll never buy new, unless its a Rivian R3 or whatever the small car is they are teasing....

Apparently, you can upgrade 4th gen Hondas to Apple CarPlay. I haven’t tried it yet but I am intrigued.

I always thought the Citroen C4 Cactus was a cool looking vehicle, it might be interesting what Citroen would do with a BOF vehicle.

Dear Nissan, bring back the BOF Pathfinder and stuff the Armadas motor in it. Read more

This is funny because my first thought was a Ford Maverick, which really just means I want an actual small truck that is good for small truck things. Extended cab (not four-door) BOF small truck. Dreamy.  Read more

How about the Bronco Sport? I mean its based on the Escape but is probably close to the size of the original.  Why not go whole hog and drop it on a frame and 4x4 chassis.

The Buick Roadmaster wagon was already have way there, so easy to get it all jacked up.

A Mazda CX-50 with legit off-road prowess would be fantastic! As they are, they’re marketed with an outdoorsy but upscale feel, but I think a new Passport would put it to shame. Imagine the CX-50's look but 2" higher, more aggressive offset wheels, and A/Ts. Yes please. Read more

The world doesn’t need it, but it’s be kind of cool to see a legit rugged Mazda CX-5 BOF off-roader. Read more

How about a Jeep Renegade? Making it BOF could turn it into the American version of the Jimny. Small, fairly light, nimble off road, and most importantly, cheap! Everything a Wrangler used to be. Read more

How is Blazer/Bronco no the first answers here? GM has the Suburban & Yukon, might as well do a 2 door short version. And Ford has the Expedition and Expo Max, so they should do an Expedition Bronco.

I think the best candidates for this are the crossovers that already have some decent offroad chops despite being crossovers. Like the Ford Bronco Sport or Jeep Cherokee. Read more

Ford Ecosport. I would also like a manual and the motor from the Fiesta St. This thing has soft roaded pretty well, and would make a fun little off roader with some nice mods.  Read more

X3. Not that I want one, but just to see how much complexity and maintenance burden BMW could build into a full frame.
