[QUOTE="KentSD, post: 1088193, member: 22247"] Thanks for all the comments. Yeah i bought it to use it thats for sure. So 1600 miles in 4 days down in Baja total (Loreto been the farthest south i went). Definitely got all the questions from everyone seen their first new raptor down there. So way home was some real stuff. Truck was fully airborne and landed smoothly no issues at all. One of the trails has a drop down i didn't see coming and well it was wheels up from there. Didn't bottom out and was about a 3' step down doing about 70MPH Landed perfect no loss of control for even a second. Hit a heavy rain storm/monsoon too for 50 miles of dirt and that was mud to the max. It handled pretty decent. Funny enough the truck knew it was in mud and shifted its self into 4x4 by its self which was nice. I didn't use the Mud/sand mode and i didnt use the Baja mode as I'm not too fond of it- Keeps too much torque powered up where you constantly lose traction which down south the last thing you want to do as a lot of you know. Rocks are not your friends and they are everywhere. One thing which i really liked is when you hit these heavy puddles the water is pressed out and completely over your windshield. Obviously that didn't happen every time but the times it did it was nice that it didn't spay your wind shield. Used paddle shifter on way home and got some better MPG. 8.9- All and all its ready bone stock for trips down south and anyone who wants some cool routes or some travel info reach out I'm happy to help.
