@ChitownStang - How does the throttle controller work with the different drive modes?

Drive Modes all work the same. It just makes the throttle come on faster relative to that mode.
Which itself could be a problem.
I have a pedal commander on my Raptor, because the early Raptors didn’t have a ā€˜normal’ drive mode, it was a rebadged ā€œecoā€ mode. 10th gear by 42mph, and only downshifts at or near full throttle.

The problem is that anything over ā€˜city’ mode on the PC is too touchy for the off road modes.

You get on a track or auto-x and it could produce unexpected results.

Maybe, but most people love it.
Everyone has different expectations.
For me, It fixed what I disliked me about the car.

Palm beach and Lund seem to be the choice eh? Anyone running shoe maker on a 24?
Avoid Lund. Bad guy with bad customer service, lots of horror stories from owners of the previous gen. Just look up "Lund" on the 6g forums for lots of personal experiences in the negative.

Cool! As long as you’re aware. I used to run the pc in city +2 on the street but took it off road and the mud/sand mode throttle map was way too steep and not as easy to modulate. I’m sure with practice it’d be ok but honestly, too much trouble to mess with if I’m just mode-ing up 4 then have to change the throttle map.

But your previous gen is "Lund-Tuned?"
