[QUOTE="raptorusmaximus, post: 5591, member: 67"] sorry to sound like a curmudgion overall I like the hardware, the suspension is truly amazing. What really makes me dislike the vehicle is the software choices.... - things like losing all the settings when you shut it off, it makes me think it was intended as a rental. In fact it always displays the menu in the dash regardless so I have to select a view every time I get in. Do I really need to see a notification that I'm buckled in? I buckled, I know I'm buckled in. - no perfect goat mode, sport downshifts too aggressively for everyday driving and normal mode wallows and shifts too soft and it tends to stick in low gears too long....I'm going to wear out the upshift paddle. - the dash is way too busy, I don't need to see the some representation of a spinning driveshaft to know I'm in 2wd. I'm ok with an analog dash in what is clearly an off road truck....this is not the millennium falcon. - too small of a gas tank, same mileage as my gen 1 with 10 less gallons = 250 miles till empty, and because of the giant muffler that try's and fails to sound v8ish there's no room for an aux tank like the old bronco's had - the engine works REALLY, REALLY hard to make the truck do what the 6.2 makes my (same weight) gen 1 raptor do with ease, like 0-60... - I was planning on keeping this for a long time but I don't have confidence that the engine will go 200k without new turbo's and trans etc.. If I could swap the engine for a v8, swap the dash get rid of all the software crap I'd lay the money down and do it in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
