It's so true! We have a lot of "things" in here. It's fun though.
As long as no one takes these or any forums personally, and doesn’t read emotions into someone’s post… these forums should be fun.

Agreed and it mostly is. There are few shit heads but I ignore them...for the most part.
In the Mustang6G forum, a member titled those people as “Twat-Waffles”…. I found that quite humorous.

Nothing is as funny as keyboard warriors… I can’t even count the amount of posts over on the Gladiator forum where the OP ends up banned 6 hours into the post

I am afraid of a Ford tune and even more hp with the lack of traction…. I can handle it, but it will take some getting used to.
I have a tune and no problem with traction unless I want it to step out. Im in 4A 90% of the time. The KO3s diffinitely get stickier after 1k mikes or so.

I had never owned a truck with 4A. Now that I have had, I never buy one without 4A.

My '24 Bronco has 4A, but I have never used it.
I have used 4L & 4H when off-road, but never 4A either on road or off-road.

Yeah, 4A is a game changer! Another big benefit of the Raptor over the other models.

You can use 4A in sports mode, but you have to select 4A manually while in sports mode. I try to stay out of sports mode as I get 12mpg in it as well as it could be extremely detrimental to keeping my drivers licence.
