Ha! Was only 3 when I typed the above .. gotta be quick on the reservations around here mate 😜

@Zed come do drive 100 out here with us this weekend mate 😎

its one of those great mysteries that could be easily solved by a extra page in the user guide

i believe from looking at the other comments in the forums the 10 second long press will fully kill the ESC if you are in sand mode with rear locker on. In BAJA mode the 'active rollover prevention' mode will stay on even with ESC long press and mess with the brakes if it thinks you are over a certain angle. Can be prevented with by removing the ABS relay or aftermarket kill switch... in any case i have not noticed it kicking in unless im in baja mode or forgot to switch from 'normal'.

price is about right. of course can negotiate on price and insurance etc to get a better deal. The 392 and F-150 raptor R move into much higher price brackets very quickly, with the added extra power. However at the weight/price of rubicon / ram / tacoma i think the stats tend to lean in favour of the ranger (rubicon of course kills it in angle of approach but i think ranger is good enough for the dune bashing vs rock crawling needs here) Nice that its also the same model (Thailand built) that has been extensively desert proven in last 2 years in Aus and South Africa. Its now a known quantity in the desert with the quirks well known. ( not having full under body armour... if u look at my insta you can see the full body plates remedy for this ). Lots of aftermarket build parts from offroad shops in au/za/th and a few garages here have worked on quite a few of the uae delivered models now to know what needs to be done. prewired aux switches with cable butts in rear under the tray and engine bay makes installing compressors / lights simple enough to do at home. fyi comes standard here with nice electric rolling tonneau cover.. which def does the job for me. apart from bash plate some some pretty lights im staying stock this time around

Hey mate. Just recently changed from pajero to ranger raptor. It's definately ready to go out of the box. Rated very good on the @Gauravscale of power to weight for desert play. Great clearance. Suspension is unbelievable when off road (and on) My only issues at the moment are trying to find most comfortable driving mode in sand. I find that the baja mode holds the throttle a bit longer than you would expect when you take the foot off (to keep the turbos spooled).... Might just take more getting used to. Rear end can feel a little loose as there is very little weight over the rear wheels. So I've noticed a bit of changes to my driving style. Using Baja suspension mode, 4H, sand mode with full time rear diff lock enaganed, ESC turned off seems to be the sweet spot for me. 'Off-road cruise' set to 2kph with front and rear diff lock engaged will automatically crawl you out of any refusals allowing you to focusing on just getting wheel angles right and turning left right to clear sand. Let the truck handle the blip blip. Spent a weekend just making stucks to play recovery and was greatly impressed. Only upgrades required is a thicker bash plate to cover the engine and trans as the factory one is like 2.5mm aluminium. Price point to power and features I think U get a very compelling package compared to the offerings in other truck brands and the jeeps. let me know if you want more info or anything cheers mate.

Congrats 🎉

Looks like the promotion went through @Batuhan Kulac great work smashing out all the FB+ drives! see you in the sand again sometime soon

good work @Aser 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 see you saturday for the first FB+ drive??? 😎😎😎😎

Nice one @Shaun J Looking forward to driving with you on some FB+ drives soon 👏👏👏👏

Thanks for the fun drive yesterday everyone. Was glad the heat didn't rise to much and we could enjoy smooth flowing dunes. We made around 75km across big dunes, technical dunes, long range dunes, and some sabkhas. I have the average moving speed at 33.4 kph @Looper, so I think the high speed on the sabkhas helped move it higher 😅 See you all again sometime soon.

Good work @Gary F See you out on the sand again sometime soon.

I'm just gonna have to find a lizard of my own next time 😅😅 great vid
