Nothing in particular, but I am open to suggestions for that terrain. I have ridden DH in Park City and Deer Valley, but that is about it for me. Most everything I ride is cross country, living in the SE, I rented a 5010 a while back and I am sorry to say that I hated it. Coming from a 26" XC bike (alloy hardtail) everything felt wrong to me, height, 29" tires, cramped cockpit, wide bars, dropper post, rear light = nose wheelie, etc., The bike was rented from and setup by a reputable shop with my riding profile, measurements, etc.
The part that I loved = jump or plow everything, super plush. The 1 x 11 was ok, but I am spoiled to have 24 gears and do not believe that the weight difference really matters. I have run 8 speed triples in XT and XTR for 22 years and never had any majour troubles. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Cheers
EDIT: In the video above, you note that terrain is the toughest Fred has been on and some of it seems quite tight. I realise that Fred is not a Tacoma or a JK, but how do you fee like he did compared to other off road trucks you have owned? I guess I would be mostly concerned about the high roof from an overall height standpoint, but also the tall sides of the van body compared to something like a Tacoma. It would not take much to lean the van into a tree or catch an overhanging rock on some of those narrow mountain passes.
