OFFROAD+ switch

[BLK HOLE]

Anyone use this with good experience yet? I know it changes throttle/shift and engine RPMs in respective 4 low/high to adjust for the different uses of them (low, slow and grip...high, fast and slipping). Just looking for reviews.

I have only used the OFFROAD+ mode in 4 low with about 7 hours of off-road use total across 3 trips.

When engaged I find that it prevents the automatic tranny from shifting until much higher RPMs. When on very rough/rocky trails it helps quite a bit as it also keeps from shifting when coasting down hill and I want to maintain a slower speed. But on sections of trail that are not rough I find it more of a nuisance and so switch it on for slow crawling sections and off again for flatter sections (so it is off more than 90% of the time except on one trail where it was on for about 3 hours straight). I seem to be able to do nearly an equivalent job by switching my rig into manual shift mode but then my hand is off the wheel and on the shifter. Overall I would say it is helpful.

So what does it do with a manual?

I believe it also deactivates the airbags to prevent them from going off on the trail.

I find it VERY helpful in downhill situations in maintaining speed in gear, like NOT over-revving ! (descending Red Cone, CO)?

It's real real real fun in 4hi and going fast AF on the beach

Absolutely. It made that spot very easy and relaxing when I did it earlier this year.

I find it very useful when things get rough and/or steep. It’s not for bombing down fire trails or graded forest roads.

lol, but that's exactly what I use it for. I haven't used it much going slow yet

I use it on every trail. I’ve gotten used to the shift points with it on, and really like the control. I’m going to use it a ton today. I think the group has settled on poison spider today. But we’ll see what everyone says after coffee. Gorgeous sunrise in Moab today.

ugggh, that's so pretty. I love sunrises and sunsets

It works great! Low range + for slow, targeted obstacles and descending steep hills. High range + for blasting down sandy washes and dirt roads. It’s fun to have options.

Absolutely.

I never wake up this early. It’s amazing. The moon woke me up and quickly got scared away by the sun. No one else is even stirring, except @Offroadnewbie who got up at the crack ass of night to drive 6 hours this morning. That amazing trooper should be here in a few minutes.
