GEN 2 Offroad Drive Modes

[POOPonYOU]

The manual and raptor supplement detail the modes quite well. The main thing you should note is that they are well calibrated, and you should trust them to do what they were designed to do.

Normal, Sport, and Weather for the road, the rest for off road.

To answer your question directly, in heavy rain/snow I use weather mode. Light rain I just stay in normal but kick it in to 4A. Make sure you stay off the gas whenever the tcase is shifting.

So stay off the gas when I switch the 4WD modes? Do I have to be below a certain speed when switching 4WD modes

Stopped into 4L but to go to 4A or 4H just step off gas, flip knob. Wait. Then give gas again. I’ve done it st highway speeds into 4A

At Raptor Assault they claim mode selection will check to make sure it is safe to switch before doing so, but I find no backing to that claim. The only speed restriction is 4L, between 0-3 I think. Barely coasting

So... in mud mode , while blasting around small hills and a foot of snow seemed to work best. EXCEPT when i really got sideways or off camber , i think stab control kicked and robbed power? Any fix?

Did you just select mud/sand or did you also hit the T/C button. Mud/Sand by default is (I think) the loosest setting, but you can further reduce interference by hitting the T/C, and even further reduce it by holding the button. If you had held the button after selecting the mode, then there's nothing else to be done.

I just went to mud mode

Is there a more detailed description of what is actually being changed in each drive mode then what is in the Raptor supplement?

 

[smurfslayer]

if there is, I’m not aware of it. Just off the top of my head, and 2.5 years on from Raptor Assault...

throttle response, shift strategy, permissible slip before nanny intervention, permissible ‘spin’ before nanny intervention, brake (bias?) strategy, and for the live valve shock models, integration of at least some damping changes based on those strategies.

Thanks I will keep looking, hope to find detailed info of what the actual differences for each mode and each function that mode alters.

Snow mode is a trip, you can gun it and it’ll crawl through stuff it shifts easier to not lock up in a down shift. I figured it was BS so didn’t use it 1/2 way through last winter. Now I’ll use it when it’s bad out.
