[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1534120, member: 31858"] So many ignorant people when it comes to this feature. I hate that people...including some commercials and youtubers...refer to it as cruise control. The feature does so much more. You are not capable of replicating the features of the trail control feature. For example...the system will search for the wheel with the most traction repeatedly to get you unstuck, it provides hill decent control and because it's not actually a cruise control when hill climbing or going straight the system will gently "crawl" over rocks/obstacles. The pulsing could be due to the system sensing resistence and trying to gently overcome the obstacle. I agree you can generally get a better ride doing it yourself depending on the terrain but the system has it's uses and surpasses anything you can do on your own in certain situations. Like any other tool, you just have to use it for it's intended purpose and using it as a "cruise control" is not strictly what is purpose is. I'd say do some experimenting on many different terrain types and see when it works as desired and don't use i when you don't need it. Specifically in your situation if it is pusling as bad as you describe then having the dealer check it out is a good idea because mine runs as smoothly as the ones at Raptor assault but my expectations may be different than yours.
