does sand mode automatically put you in 4wd? I hate when the RSC kicks in when I’m blasting through the desert sliding and having a great time then the trucks sounds like it’s shutting itself and throws me into the dash lol ?
Yes. And if you try to go back to 2wd it switches to "normal mode."

No way to
disable RSC on 2wd that I've found.

Unless maybe you can do the TM mod on a 2wd truck l.

I see you got those take-offs stuffed in there good. ?
4 wide was quite easy. 5 would h have fit without the tonneau rails. Will pop them on today and double check clearance.

Surprised with how well my 2wd Ranger does on snowy roads (didn't' try offroad). I was able to climb my brother's uphill-ice and snow covered-drive with no problems at all. The traction control was definitely doing its thing and seems to work well.

Had I tried that in my last truck (99 GMC Sonoma 2wd), I would have immediately lost traction and the rear right tire would have spun until it burned a hole through the ice.

For real. It was worse for me when my girlfriend was giving me the, “this foo even know what he’s doing?” Look when I was shifting into 4L in the snow. ?
