Got a lot of videos, but this is one I pulled out where I stumbled upon an AWESOME view...

Great trail. Any other Colorado owners...we should hit this up again sometime.

I'm still experimenting with my camera and mounting positions, so patience please...

Looks awesome.

Hit Bill Moore Lake trail again today with a buddy and actually had some time to play around.

Here's some pics. I've got a video of the Raptor climbing a 20 degree incline, having to stop half way to let a car down (great elocker test) and then resume. I'll try to get that up later after ********** time.

Those pics are SICK. Good work.

Here are a couple more pics and a video of a couple of ascents of a 21 degree pitch. No tire slippage, plenty or torque, no rolly backwards, etc, etc.

We also got to do some shooting at the lake at the end of the trail.

I have to get a new video camera...this 10 year old MD shit sucks.

Great vid, the raptor did well and your driving did too!!!! Have you used hill descent mode yet? I have used it a couple of times and it works great. Keep those vids coming.

Yeah, I use it all the time. I bet I used it 15 times on that trail alone. My buddy said that HDM makes it too easy. I told him to shut the **** up. LOL

The only bad thing that I've found about it is that if the downhill turns into a shallower descent and the truck slows for whatever reason, then the HDM will also slow to that speed (as designed). I just need to learn to work it better.

Also, even on downhills less extreme, 4H + offroad mode - traction control seems to control the speed of descent too.

Thanks for the compliments!
