Yep its OK just what you would expect, however the cross link valves threw an issue so rock crawl was not as easy as it should be, basically the suspension articulation was impeded on the front end.
Different but similar electronics in the special programs all improved on the last model.
The only thing I didn't like was the 'brake grab'.
Example:- lets say you were being spotted over some rock steps. You get told to stop so you apply the brakes. Then when you are asked to move forward slowly you slowly release the brakes, nothing moves, release a bit more, nothing moves, release a bit more, nothing moves, release a bit more then BAM your off, at this point you have to hit the brakes
so slow creep forward from a stand still is difficult. This could be linked to the (3 second brake hold hill start thing) it should disabled when special programs are selected IMO. It could be me not understanding the electronics.

Please see below a couple of videos.
For the record yes I could have gone faster and got through first time, I didn't want to as we were trying out different settings/gears. I'm a big believer in finding out what the car cant do before you find out what it can.
In the first video the 1st attempted climb out was in Grass Gravel, Low 2nd gear, The second attempt was in the same settings but in Low 3rd.
Yes I was making it hard for the car by coming in at an awkward angle
