As a hard-core off-road pickup truck, F- 150? Raptor is equipped with many functions specially designed for off-road enthusiasts. These complex functions are realized by various buttons, so let me tell you about the corresponding functions of its various buttons first.
ESP stabilization system, this function is very common, and it is also equipped in general family cars. What you may not know is that this function, which is usually considered to be used to ensure safety, has to be turned off when you are off-road, because when you are stuck in the car, you need the tires to slip properly to help you get out of trouble or climb a hill, and the feature that ESP does not let the wheels slip is obviously useless, so when you are off-road or stuck in the car, you must turn off ESP.
Various driving modes, compared with urban SUVs, the essence of hard-core pickup trucks lies in these buttons. 2H: High-speed two-wheel drive, which is the rear-wheel drive state. Recommended for high-speed and light off-road sections. 4A: Automatic four-wheel drive, automatic power distribution, automatic adjustment according to road conditions, recommended in rainy and snowy days. 4H: High-speed four-wheel drive, suitable for gravel roads, used when it is necessary to pass quickly. 4L: Low-speed four-wheel drive, used when high torque is needed. In addition, there is a differential lock (ELD) switch. You should know that it does not need to be turned on when driving on the road, but only when driving off-road.
Ok, after the background knowledge, let's get to the point. How to set the best state for different road conditions? Look at the blackboard and pay attention to the class!
Recommended key combination: 2H+ESP? OFF+ELD
If the venue allows high-speed cross-country, a dusty hurricane is still very attractive. However, attention can not be completely released, and it is necessary to investigate in advance.
Recommended key combination: 4H+? ESP？ OFF+ELD
Mud pit washing is a favorite operation of many cross-country enthusiasts, but before cross-country, you must know how deep the mud pit is, and it must be carried out with a rider beside you, so that even if you are trapped, someone will drag you out. Drive as slowly as possible after entering the mud. It is recommended to bypass.
Recommended key combination: 4H+ESP? OFF+ELD
The fun of washing sand is amazing. The key setting of this road condition is actually similar to the mud road condition. However, it should be noted that the tire pressure should be reduced appropriately to maintain the maximum tire contact area, and at the same time, the sand washing flagpole should be installed obediently to prevent your riders from seeing you when washing the slope.
Recommended key combination: 4H+ESP? leave
The key word for driving in the snow is "stability". Don't slam on the accelerator, brake and hit the direction. It is also a good idea to know how deep the snow is before driving in and follow the rut of the car in front.
If it is a large rock, it is recommended that the wheel directly press the obstacle to pass, and do not attempt to let the rock pass through the chassis to avoid friction; If it is a big pit, if you are not sure, it is recommended to improve the passability through the inclined body; If it is a puddle, of course, you should know how deep it is in advance. I recommend hanging a low-speed four-wheel drive for all the above road conditions. Of course, if you want to pass quickly, you can hang it for 4 hours.
Some people may ask, the actual off-road situation may be complicated. Some white people don't understand when to lock the electronic lock and when to hang the four-wheel drive. What should I do? In view of this situation, F- 150? Raptor provides six driving modes to choose from, namely: standard mode, thick snow/sand mode, desert mode, rock/crawling mode, slippery mode and sports mode. [SX 1]？ Very suitable for drivers with insufficient cross-country experience. After selecting the corresponding mode, give it to the vehicle to start off-road!
Finally, we have prepared three places suitable for F- 150 raptor owners to "run wild" to meet everyone's desire for off-road release after the epidemic.
The sand mountain in Poyang Lake has become the new favorite of cross-country enthusiasts because of its unique terrain. It not only has typical southern mud, but also has extremely rare desert areas in the south. The unique mixed cross-country venue is a cross-country paradise integrating natural landscape and rich humanities. The first cross-country rally around Poyang Lake was held in 20 17, which broke the history that there was no cross-country rally in southern China!
Laozhanggou is very famous in the cross-country circle, named after a mountain shaped like "Bigfoot". Here is a famous pollution-free green ecological zone with overlapping mountains and ravines. The "good man slope" on the ridge is very suitable for cross-country, and it is more and more difficult to enter the ditch with the improvement of popularity. The combination of various intersecting shafts, bullet holes and gravel roads is a great test for people and cars.
Chaobai River is the cradle of cross-country people. Because of its natural conditions, Chaobai River has become Beijing's "lost car holy land". The pavement structure is mostly composed of mixed sediment, steep pavement and sharp crater, which tests the chassis strength of off-road vehicle and the flexibility of four-wheel drive system. No matter whether it is hot or cold, the Chaobai River will always be full of off-road vehicles.
