- Johnson Valley serves up some of the gnarliest terrains from sand to hard pack, loose stone and hill climbs which also makes it one of the best places to try out the six different terrain modes of the Ford Raptor!
Best explanation video for raptor modes!! Thx!
Good vid. I took mine out last weekend on a old dirt road that winds up through the mountains here in Nor Cal. I did things in the truck that I had dreamed of doing in my EVO but lacked under armor and the correct type of suspension. Baja mode in 4H is what I used on the way up and mud/sand on the way down. Terrain managment does a great job transfering power front/ rear and making sure the wheels keep enough traction. The truck's suspension definitely smooths out as you get a little faster. You find that sweet spot for the terrain you are in and it will glide. Even my dirt driveway which I usually drive 5-10 mph, if I take it at 20, it's like a different road. I have no complaints about the truck. Gas milage is actually pretty good for a big truck (18-20) on flat freeway under 60mph. Once you get to 70mph it's drops to about 16.8. Still not to bad for a truck with 35s. Auto start stop is a feature they could have left off. I just have to remember to turn it off every time.
Keep Racing !
Where in NorCal did you go so your truck could stretch its legs?
@@KAZ109 There is a local road called Rowdy Creek road. It’s a mountain road with some space to get sideways. I have also gone to the dunes in Winchester, OR and run it there 70+ on the flats.
@blueline_raptor JD … what town is this road on? Bay Area or further north like Sacramento area?
@@KAZ109 like way further north, Del Norte County. Basically the Oregon boarder.
You and me the same goose.... I bought my raptor first.... one day I'll buy my evo to play around in.
I am picking up one of these on Friday, And heading straight out to the dirt!😊 this video was exactly what I needed to see, thank you
Did you pick up your truck and take it straight to the dirt, how did it go? Everything still working smoothly?
@@bjmcdole6294 speechless. Best off road machine ever made for public consumption🤤
That’s awesome to hear! I had watched that video and then scrolled through the comments. Thought I’d ask how your experiences have been.
I have a 2019 I recently bought. I’ve had a 2017 and 2 2014’s. Best trucks ever!! Thanks for your reply
Just what I needed to know, I use the Baja mode today off Roading for the first time, what a difference! Thanks!
Loved your video brother. Thank you for the detailed explanations of the driving modes
Thanks for the video!! I had a 2014 that I put a 143k miles on, I loved the truck it was bullet proof. My second one is a 2020 and this is hands down a better truck. I am hopeful that this was will be a bullet proof. The sound obviously isn’t as good but this truck will put a smile on your face!!
Best video on the new Raptor for guys who will actually use it off road. Thanks VGJ! You just got a new fan.
Thanks! I'm going to try and do more of these.
thanks bro on it 🤟🏽🤙🏽💪🏼🏁
Very informational
Faster is smoother! Just ordered my Raptor. Now I have to wait. 😢😢😁
Hows the truck? Everything go smoothly?
@@bjmcdole6294 Got a little over 12,000 miles on her now and she has scratches and dents from offroading in 13 states already. Her name is Freedom Badger. Wound up flying to Houston May 1, 2019 to pick her up. Dealer had her hard parked in the showroom when i arrived. It was a rad experience.
- I made a fun game out of it by letting all my friends know I had custom ordered a new something. The only hints I gave was $90,000 all in (tax, license, warranty, loan, options, etc.) And had Alcantara and carbon fiber. Then the whole road trip from Houston to Seattle every day we were posting "drop" photos on social media but they'd be like super close up shots of the leather grain and such as. Only 1 person guessed Raptor. Because I have a pretty bad ass built trail rig most people thought sports car. The top guess was by far Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
- Jorge, my sales guy at Tomball shot a video of my reception day:

@@PoeRacing Awesome!! I am in the Dallas, Texas Area which is roughly three hours from where you picked yours up at. I have 10,800 miles on my 2020 and love the truck!! The 2014 I had from 8,000 miles to 143,000 miles and when traded on this one I got 50% of my purchase price back. We are talking about a whole sale value of 50% from “new”... Crazy!! Sounds like you’re really enjoying yours.
Thanks, very useful video.
Thx for the tips man!
I have a first Gen Rousche Raptor it pulls hard what mode for sand driving would you recommend? I think. BAJA might be overkill
Is Baja mode just for fine sand no rocky dirt right? Also how fast can you go in Baja mode.
Amazing😀😀
HOW DO YOU PUT IT IN 4A + SPORTS MODE? I DO IT.. AND IT GOES BACK TO 2 WHEEL..
I stop the truck put it in sport mode then switch the dial to 4A done.
I test drove a Raptor yesterday and during Sport mode, I felt a "kick" every time it shifted gears, a noticeable shake. Is that what you mean by "it shifts Harder" on Sport mode?
Yes, it shifts harder in sport mode. It's supposed to do that and in time the truck will learn shift points based on your driving characteristics. Typically, it takes up to 1000 miles for the transmission to fully "learn" your driving habits.
@@bjmcdole6294 thank you!
Always makes me chuckle when people shit on raptors for being "mall crawlers". When a race driver and someone who's hooned a raptor around the nurburgring says his mind is blown by what this truck CAN DO yet some interweb troll who's never seen a raptor let alone driven one says "but muh v8 sound though"... lmao. You want a v8, buy a normal f150 or whatever equivalent truck from a rival brand... want a stock offroad truck that is fucking hilarious to drive, get a raptor.
Hey man, good vid, liked the planing reference. Sure wish I would have realized how close my wife was to the KOH site sooner. Bummed me out driving past the signs 2 days after the event, would have flown down earlier. Good luck this season, hope to catch you at Evergreen again.
Thanks, hope to see you there!
4A all the time for street driving?
I wouldnt unless its raining, feels too grippy less comfortable on 4A but yes you can drive like that for street driving
30psi lol. Too high
