GEN 2 Off-roading your Gen 2: Driving Modes, Handling Characteristics, and more

let me just say she wasnt nearly as impressed as i was, mainly because she couldnt see with her eyes closed and white-knuckling the oh-crap bar.

once again thanks for the informative post.....

Yeah, my wife doesn't ride shotgun off road any more - to be fair, it isn't particularly fun for anyone. Driving tho....if she had the opportunity, I'd bet she'd put nearly as many offroad miles on my truck as I do.

Holy shit. I didn't know 50% of this stuff

Thanks for post. Great refresher for info that was read once and then thrown in glovebox

I'm glad yall are finding this useful, and appreciate the positive feedback.

Team O'Neil have been rallying a Bronco Raptor lately. Wanted to share this video 1) because it is cool and 2) just in case someone is still skeptical that Baja 4H is faster than Baja 2H.

I was expecting a bigger difference to be honest, tho:

As an aside, Team O'Neil has some great instructional videos, so check them out regardless!

seen those guys jump, they nose dive (more than our trucks) but somehow they land super smooth.

@rtmozjingo Super awesome thread!
Just to clarify - no Baja mode and 2H or 4A for on-road use. Better to be Sport and 2H or 4A for best on-road get up?

Welcome to FRF!
I wasn’t aware prius had a baja mode

For Raptors, you may select Baja 2h but it’s a bit high strung. Sport mode on the street is a solid go to, add 4a for really getting on it. I ran sport / 4a through the pea gravel Raptor Assault cone course, and it did pretty well. WAY better than 2h, but not quite as good as M&S.

Thank you, happy to be here!

Found this thread looking for more information on the driving modes, then went down the rabbit hole on this whole Forum site. lol

I just picked up my first Raptor on Friday after the thanksgiving feasts. I couldn't resist the deal they had on it.
I may live in California, but no priussies here. Traded in my 2019 Ranger for this beast and I'm in love

She even fits in the garage too (just by inches) lmao

I think you need to turn that puppy at an angle.

It took me a few tries to pick up my Raptor. I had to work up to it, not gonna lie. Started with front driver econoboxes, then sedans.
