I like the ride height that Raptor is showing! Obviously the power of the TTV6 overwhelmed the driver and before he knew it, completely burying the Raptor.

That or Ford loaned @The Car Stereo Company a new Raptor for the weekend with a broken 4WD system.



It's still shiny side up so it can't be Noah

Silver Lake Engineers Notes 4/2/16:

Sunny, 70 degrees
Air down next time
Add a "stuck" mode to Terrain mgmt system
Add kinetic rope and shovel
...Possible sand gremlins


Question:
I have less than 5 hours running in deep sand (a novice) and I'm pretty sure I could bury a gen1 if I tried. Doesn't this just happen if you mash it from a stop?

When Jamaal heard the news that gen 2 got stuck at silver lake
"How'd it get stuck? On paper it should be floating over that sand with no problem! Must be the guy driving it"

Raptor is on a hill... driver ran it up the hill got stuck and didn't quite make the when in doubt power out work for him.

The driver could have been playing around and its possible he backed out but seeing the suspension at full droop I'd say he probably got a yank out.

Maybe this was a tow-hook test?

Doesnt matter what youre driving, its incredibly easy to bury a stock truck in sand especially going up a hill.

The sand gremlins most likely set a trap so it doesnt matter how experienced the driver is they were doomed from the start.

#randy m would disagree, the gen 2 is magical and can't be stuck.
