Hi mate, yes the ESC doesn’t fully switch off even when the TC is turned off, this for me is only a problem when doing short sharp turn when the front end push out to much (under steer) because of my heave foot, it takes a bit of time to get used to how to make short / drifting turns with it though but its not a problem for me when driving “normally”, its only an issue when starting “playing” around and the back end doesn’t step out / break traction. I've never had issues at speed or while side slopping, fast drifts and most doughnuts My truck is a single cab though so I'm sure getting the longer double cab truck through the dunes might be more of a challenge as you have much more weight and length to deal with especially when turning... Also I've no idea how to deactivate the ESC so maybe something you’ll need to ask Ford technician about... Do let me know when you find out how to turn it fully off, I’ll also try and find out and post it here when I do✌🏼

Liwa was definitely an experience, dunes like Ive never seen before, really amazing. @Asif Hussain good lead and effort trying to get us all over those dunes, Just wish we could have gotten more out of it, im sure you would agree......to many stucks and recoveries. Yes thanks @Rahimdad after the dive I had sand in all sorts of places 😜 Thanks @Gaurav for letting me try out that last dune from the bottom, was fun. Till next time ✌🏼

In which group will i be tomorrow?

Just did my DPI test at Ghantout , no appointment required so I’m good to go, see you guys in Lewa.

Hi @Frederic thanks for your reply, with all the camping restrictions in the UAE over this holiday my plans changed..... my vehicle and evening is good to go, my DPI/ PCR test I’ll sort out tonight or tomorrow, thats all that’s required/ pending.

Hi, looks like i just missed this RSVP, still possible to join?

My single cab is pretty small tho... but anyhow ive been desert driving for many years now so my confidence in handling the tuck is high enough to handle most thrown at it.... please dont hold back ✌🏼

This is not clear on the rules then if drives on different days are not allowed, so I’ll remove myself from the Saturday drive and then you can add me to this drive as i was first on the waiting list, thanks
