Ford Raptor Hill Descent Control FAIL

On a fun day in Rowher Flats in Santa Clarita CA, Skynet tried to take me out! Well, at least Fords Hill Descent control tried anyway.

On a black diamond (Most Difficult) Jeep trail on a very steep hill with slippery rocks, i found the limitation of what Fords Hill Descent control can handle. I did not know it at the time, but I was in for a ride.

Essentially what happen is that I used Hill Descent control perfectly wrong trail and almost flew off the mountain when the system glitched and actived the throttle.

PSA, Don't use Fords Hill Descent control on slippery steep and uneven section where you need to crawl. On any other steady downhills your fine.

I used hill decent control going down a BIG hill at Fort Irwin Military base, it worked fine for me but I did notice after about 3 mins of having it on straight (BIG STEEP HILL) it warned me to turn Hill Descent control off otherwise it would turn off by itself because it was getting the breaks too hot, the hill was very slippery with lots of little slippery rocks. I have a gen 1 though, not sure if it's the exact same system or not.
