I know that trail; whatever the Raptor can't get around, it will get over!

We were exploring Sand Canyon and kept on going up the trail...

It was funny my wife said "you can't go down that" so I went down the side just to be a smart-ass.... then it was "you can't fit through that" so I went head and did it.

Then we got to that freak'n hill on Pinyon Mountain and she said you can't climb that and I said "You are damn right about that!"

With the sun setting we headed back to Ocotillo where we were camping.

I have yet to hit The Squeeze... I am certain the Raptor will not fit in that.

Hopefully the gen 2 raptor won't have the same fate as the C7 Z06.... Loads of potential and great styling hindered by an overheating heart.

Question.

Someone said they are hoping that the 10-speed would not be hunting gears when offroad or towing

Isn't it so that you switch to manual in those cases ?

I switch to manual a lot in my car (peugeot 308sw 1.6HDI)
Just because it smother then pushin the paddle and having it downshift all the time.

That would be a correct statement!
And I would suggest to always walk the Heart Attack hill before driving it, to many have performed endo's going down (forward or backward) by dropping a wheel in to a hole.
