What is a Dana 44 TTB?
The Dana 44 TTB (Twin Traction Beam) was used in the front of Ford F-150’s from 1980 to 1996 and the full size Ford Bronco from 1980 to 1997. The Dana 44 TTB was a variation of the reverse cut solid axle Dana 44 used by Ford. It appeared in the F-150’s and Bronco’s with coil springs.
Is the new Bronco straight axle?
While it’ll have a solid axle at the rear, the new Ford Bronco will offer an independent front suspension, just like the Ford Ranger with which it’ll share a platform. Just about every other off-road vehicle on sale today has an independent front suspension.
Will the new Ford Bronco have a solid front axle?

What vehicles have a solid front axle?
Even though we are now down to just three new vehicle models available with a solid front axle in the U.S.—Jeep Wrangler, Ford Super Duty, and Ram heavy-duty trucks (four if you count the über-expensive Mercedes G-class)—we’re still huge proponents of the driven beam axle construction for off-road use.
Is a jeep over 6000 lbs?
If gross vehicle weight (GVW) is more than 6,000 lbs, a business can deduct $25,000 in first year depreciation called Section 179. With the new diesel Jeep Wrangler in the Rubicon trim, it becomes the first and only Wrangler variant to tip the 6,000 lbs scale.
What vehicles qualify for the full Section 179 deduction?
Generally speaking, the Section 179 tax deduction applies to passenger vehicles, heavy SUVs, trucks and vans that are used at least 50% of the time for business-related purposes. For example, a pool cleaning business can deduct the purchase price of a new pickup truck that is used to get to and from customers’ homes.
