Any quick Raptor feature comments?

[cleveland plasma]

Had the Raptor for a few days but have not had a whole lot of time to play. Without ready all threads in this forum and not "yet" reading thru the owners manual are their any cool features that I am overlooking? ( We have a 2010 with everything but nav. )

--Any one find something cool after a few months, then said to themself " gee I wish I would have known about this sooner "

Well you don't have Nav so, there goes a good chunk of stuff. The first thing that pops to my mind is the TC.....if you go into Off-Road mode (ORM) and want the TC turned all the way off, make sure you hold down the TC button (the skidding car icon ) for a good 10 sec. until the icon displays on the info screen and flashes. Plus, it will kick it back on anytime you into or out of 4WD. So I usually turn it off last....my sequence is like this....

4WD (should you choose to use it anyway)
ORM enabled (chime and see message on info screen)
Press and hold TC button for a good 10sec. (icon will appear on info screen but only for an instant, keep holding button down and eventually the icon will re-appear and flash)

If you're wondering if it really is all the way off, get in some loose stuff and punch it, that'll tell ya. Other than that, just mess with the truck, it's not the Space Shuttle and everything will come to ya

Thanks for the reply. Am I missing alot with the Nav? I thought that was not worth the $$$. Not that I had the choice, the blue color in my eyes was #1 feature.

Anyone else want to throw out some help, if any.

2nd micro USB hidden behind radio. I have my Ipod hidden in center console so that it's not getting thrown around everywhere.

Sorry but still playing with mine also right now to post anything but you should have gotten the nav system(well worth the money).

What exactlly am I missing without Nav? ( We did not order it so it came as it did. Not many raptors in my area, especially in blue. )

besides the obvious, voice guided navigation, SIRIUS Travel Link(if u pay for it), Jukebox music database(you can record all your CDs on to the truck's hard drive), Picture uploading and storage(I have a big pic of my truck right on the home screen), back up camera is huge, bluetooth link for your cell phone(will store your contacts, read text messages to you, make/receive phone calls), hmm those are my favorite options.

nobody wants to make you have buyer's remorse. you got a Raptor, that's all that really matters.

To be honest, I had decided against the NAV until Randy cut me such a great deal and told me about all the cool features tied to it.
