[QUOTE="k-rub, post: 1093682, member: 21298"] Down in S. Arizona we have washes (dried up riverbeds with deep soft sand). I've taken mine out several times for runs between 1-5 miles in the wash. There were some rocky and muddy spots. Got intentionally stuck a couple times in the mud and easily got out in 4L with the locker on. In the sand going 40-60mph the truck gets great traction. It almost surfs the sand back and forth. That's in Sport mode and 4H. So far that's my favorite combo. I've used Baja mode. It keeps the revs high and the power is immediate. I think I would like this mode on more hard packed dirt. In the sand the instant torque equals loss in traction unless you have the dexterity for fine adjustments on the gas pedal while going fast in the deep sand. Braking in these conditions exceeds expectations. Super impressed because fire roads crossing the wash are not easy to see until you are almost crossing it. I really like the steering modes as well Sport Steering really tightens it up and gives you more control. Additionally, this truck is my daily driver. I'll probably use this truck for what it's made for on the moderate side of things. At this point I don't see any need for power performance mods. It's got plenty of power. This truck is an absolute blast. I've taken a few friends for rides and they are half terrified and half thrilled. Massive smile on my face when hitting some dirt. Edit: Truck is stock. This is my first Raptor and I came from a Tacoma. The one downside is post-ride maintenance. Since I ride in the sand, cleaning takes a while with a pressure washer because of all the hidden areas for sand to be stuck in. [/QUOTE]
