[QUOTE="Falcon, post: 103152, member: 84"] One of the fantastic things about our Raptor is the Off-Road mode in all of it's iterations. Sure, we have the Cool card that came with the Raptor that attempts to explain the different Modes. Don't know about you, but I think it is about as intuitive as a mudhole. "Let's see... so I push the Advance Track button for 9.72 seconds, hold my right foot 2 inches off the floorboard and spit ONE green pea into the coffee cup holder... or was that TWO little green peas???" [B]My knowledge Base Candidate is a discussion of the different modes of Engine and Transmission scheduling that make our trucks so formidable and unique - and how best to employ them. [/B] The result will hopefully be a synthesis of the Brian/MMD/MarkT etc. experiences that we can put into a concise list. First and foremost, discussion on what you can actually DO with the different modes, and a consensus of what Mode works best in what situation, and more importantly WHY. Then, from that... the list that Ford was trying to make but failed IMHO... A "To do THIS, select THAT" type of cheat sheet. One we can study in length, and then practice in a safe area until you get proficient at it. Things happen QUICK in the Raptor... the last thing you have time to do is go "Hmmmm... let's see. I am in sand, going between 53 and 62 MPH, with some Whoops and a 90 degree curve to the RIGHT coming up... I think I should be in... DAMN it! You get the picture. <G> By the way, this epiphany came to me as I was tearing down the back "Tank" roads in the wilds of Fort Leonard Wood... they leave some interesting bumps in the dried gumbo <G>. Nothin my Raptor couldn't handle, but for a while I thought my can of Cutter in the passenger door pocket was gonna blow <G>. I found myself REALLY wishing that I had Brian and/or Mark riding shotgun, with MMD in the back, giving me the pointers that they learned the hard way (have you SEEN Brian's skid plate?? <G>). Short of that happening, I think this Knowledge Base article could fill the bill. Ideas/Comments? Existing threads that we can pull together? Falcon [/QUOTE]
