After watching

About how the broncos crawler gear is 6.588 and how you can go 1mph at 1000, 2mph at 2000 fully engaged no clutch slip... It made me think of my 5.25 ratio first gear...

What's the slowest you can go in your manual without any pulsing or surging (not sure if it is the engine tune or dual mass flywheel that causes the pulsing or surging).

My VW engine just luggs when you're too low in a gear.

Gimmicks.

The Bronco isnt designed to be a rock crawler.

Thats like putting an F1 inspired transmission on a Corolla.

My mechanic finished 5th at KOTH this year. He switched from solid axle to IFS but he said IFS is brutal in the rocks, you need to plow through them vs crawl.

Feels like something they did just to do contests with. Look how much slower our Bronco can crawl, never mind it isn't really designed to crawl.

Not asking about the bronco.

What's the slowest you can go in your manual Jeep Gladiator without any pulsing or surging?
