blogentry-133713-0-20627600-1536681885_thumb.jpgFord has updated the current Ford F-150 Raptor with a few changes. One of the more interesting ones is the new Trail Control.

 

blogentry-133713-0-57205300-1536681880_thumb.jpgMarketed as a cruise control for off-road driving, the system can be used at speeds between 2-32km/h, and can be operated in all four-wheel drive modes that the truck has.

 

Much like a normal cruise control, it basically takes care of the throttle and braking while the driver does the steering.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
