GEN 2 Off-roading your Gen 2: Driving Modes, Handling Characteristics, and more

[shrinky]

this excellent post would fare well as a sticky. I wondered about deep snow as well. So should we "use" mud/sand for deep snow driving? And can 2019 trucks no longer drive through mud?

Yes, and apparently. Good thing I didn't get a 2019 given mud is about all I seem to encounter.

The "%20" is old school IE-speak for a space.

Nice well written post - Thank you..
Funny thing for me is that I keep forgetting this truck is a 4wd...all my other desert trucks have been 2wd...

I have found that the Raptor really climbs hills better then I would have thought in 2wd which helps me forget the 4wd..
My dirt settings: I turn off all the TC, and always manually shift, but not with the paddles, I use the rocker on the shifter and this works really well for me...sometimes I'll also go into "Sport" mode as well...but again in 2wd....

I just got back from spectating the Baja 1000 and we had the truck fully loaded including 4 people and ran 30 miles of the course...and yes I never really thought to run in any 4wd mode!....DUH!

Ran the truck in California City a few months ago...again all in 2wd...ha...ha....

Awesome post. Thank you! I think it would also be very helpful to post settings for running deep snow .

Funny you should mention that - it appears that on the 2019s, Mud/Sand is now Deep Snow/Sand. So if you want to be able to deal with that, you'll have to get a 2019, but if you do you're screwed for mud

I didn't mention snow because I live in Texas so we usually get a few days of black ice with a dusting of snow. Not even that the last two years.

Is traction control turned off or on in Deep Snow mode?

Deep snow you do not want weather mode. No enough throttle resdponce

Deep snow should be equivalent to Mud/Sand, so the answer is "mostly"
