What's BTM? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Brake-Throttle Modulate
2 foot driving. Controlling forward progress by keeping the engine at relatively the same RPM but using the brake to control your movement.
It limits wheel spin even better than TCS, makes going over obstacles much more controlled and easier. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Interesting. Sounds like that would take some practice. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>parking lot curbs or any kind of curb hopping is good practice.
controlling taking a tire up the face of an obstacle and then bringing it back down without a lot of wheel-spin and lurching.
BTM is one of the best things about having an auto vs. some of the Jeeps and other rigs that you see out on the trail. Other rigs running standard trannys can't really BTM or they will stall, so you see them getting all of the wheel spin and hop. With the auto tranny, we can BTM and where it's possible, control the truck much better on the obstacle.
