[QUOTE="Mister Pinky, post: 1718070, member: 41592"] When you no longer feel comfortable driving in 2wd or when traction is limited at the rear wheels. I would actually recommend starting off in 2wd first just to get an idea of what the truck will do and then go from there. I would only use 4HI if there is significant accumulation on the road that will allow the front tires to slip during turns to prevent crow hop and wear and tear on the drivetrain. If you are highway driving at speeds where it is not possible to quickly shift in and out of 4HI, then I recommend 4Auto. It works well in conditions where road traction deteriorates intermittently, such as snow squalls or heavy rain where ponding is an issue. Snow/Wet mode just dampens throttle response significantly, engages 4Auto, and puts the stability/traction control systems into high alert. In my 5.0L Mustang, I like this feature because the throttle response is very sharp in that car, and it’s fairly powerful immediately. In the Raptor, I feel that Normal mode is more than sufficient. You can control the attitude of the truck easily by staying out of boost. [/QUOTE]
