Is it normal to have power loss in heavy sand?

[Madcowranch]

I have a question for all, what is the best ford raptor tire pressure for sand dunes?????? (ex. Pismo Beach CA)

around 20 psi.

around 20 psi.

^Sweet, thanks for finding that out. I will be going to Assateague Island more often in the future and the first time I never aired down because I thought that was unneeded but learned the hard way shortly afterwards.

I've noticed one thing just messing around my town, if you only fully disable traction control, you can burn the tires off. But after you drive to the next sign or light it kicks it into sport mode instead of fully disabled. Might be when it reaches a certain speed? Also noticed if I put it in ORM its stays fully disabled.

what is sport mode?

Really?

It's a single press on the traction control button. Dumbs down the nannies for a bit of safe fun.

If you are going to run around it temps that change drastically and you are not planning on airing up/down then nitrogen is a good idea. If airing up/down then it would be a waste.

I don't think nitrogen works as good in cold

it does... had my tires inflated with nitrofill about 5 years ago and have been using it since. doesn't leak out as fast and tire pressure stays a lot more consistent when temps drop... i was told it was because of the absence of moisture, which makes sense. Haven't had a tpms light come on yet.
