[QUOTE="Raptizzle, post: 1205834, member: 54"] What type of terrain are you running your truck on? If it's this.... [url]http://youtu.be/VDFgR5cCFVc[/url] , then we are not comparing apples to apples in the least bit. Did you have a gen 1 previously? As far as my feedback on my claim, I'll share some insight to how I use my truck. You mentioned timed laps. I don't time my laps or try to race anyone. We have some of the best open desert at our disposal out here. Sandy washes, whooped out sections, holes way too big for raptors, real race coarse sections, fire roads, and everything in between. The valving on the gen 2 shocks is undeniably softer. They ride really great on the road because of that and perhaps better on graded lapped courses you may have run in Texas. However, that soft valving can really upset the trucks suspension when encountering a washout or holes too large for these trucks. Some revalving could do wonders depending on what terrain suits you best. Regarding my experience with baja mode, I've found a loss in power on multiple occasions. I've had the pedal to the floor for maybe 3 seconds before any power gets transferred to the wheels. Didn't find that to be the case in sport mode. My preference in the gen 1 was manual shifting. I prefer driving the truck myself with out driving nannies telling me how it should respond. Again, it's all relative depending on how and what you're using the truck for. What might work for some may not work for others. This is my input solely for my driving preferences. That is why I created the thread you referenced. Share your experience for what works best for you. It's not intended to put a topic to rest as you stated. This isn't a one size fits all type of thing. [/QUOTE]
