I agree. It is almost like a liberal vs. conservative debate. The 2 sides will never come to terms.

How about we get back to answering the original question by the OP'er. If you don't have the answer, don't post. How simple can it get?

 

Thank you for your thoughts oh conceded one. Since you have made so many assumptions, I will make some of my own. From the few posts I have read from you, you seem like the type who rarely takes their truck off road, if ever. Some off us like to do more than drive on city streets... I bought my truck because I wanted a vehicle that could pull all of my toys to the dunes in comfort, and also go out there and play with the rest of the trucks when I get the urge. Maybe you have never experienced it, but "driving like an idiot" and pushing yourself and your vehicle to the limits is most of the fun while off roading.
Maybe ford didn't design the F-150 to climb dunes, or do donuts in the sand...but since I bought the truck, I'm going to do whatever I please with it, and I will be damned if there is a system that is going to try to stop me from doing so. Like I said, my previous vehicles lacked the safety features that the new one does, and miraculously I survived while driving it . But since I don't drive a rally car professionally, and use my truck for things that it wasn't intended for...I guess my, and my vehicles survival was all by pure luck and had nothing to do with knowing my limits and knowing how to handle my vehicle.
But hey, if you need your vehicle to slow you down, keep your tires from spinning, or whatever...that is fine with me, you seem to be one of those sheeple that they had in mind while designing these systems. Somebody who isn't smart enough to think for themselves, so their truck has to do it for them.

*edit*

Probably a good idea, I will leave it alone now and hope that somebody can answer the original question instead of try and tell those of us who don't want the traction control system that we don't know how to drive and we need our vehicle to think for us.

 

You need to get your facts right fella . Maybe read what i have written. I have never had issues with my TC on or off road. If you dont have issues with TC on ice then you aint going to have issues on any other surface. Unless of course you drive on stuff more slippery than ice!! But unlike a few here i dont class my self as a pro driver like some of you think you are. Your truck was not designed to do what your asking so it's not the trucks fault. Blame it on what ever system ford has in place for safty but in the end it's user error and nothing more. Also why was the system designed for me? I can controll my throttle so it dont cause me no issues. But clearly the people it does causes issues and have problems with it clearly have either something wrong with there trucks but more than likly just cant drive.

 

Yeah. Significant modifications to the chassis require calibration of the stability and traction systems. You would need an expert and there are precious few of them around.

The people who want to jump sand dunes bought the wrong truck. But this forum has a higher percentage of truck enthusiasts as opposed to those who actually need a real truck so you will hear more complaints.

The F-150 made it's name by being a good, tough, cost effective truck that got the job done day in and day out with minimal repairs. Not as a beach racer.

 

This is the problem. People who use the truck for what it was designed, have zero issues. It's the people who are asking it to do stuff it was not designed to do.
A truck was never designed to handle at high speeds, it was never designed to be a 0-60 strip vehicle, it was never designed to be a baja buggy and it was never designed to be a ricer racer.

It's like moaning that your gallardo dont handle gravel roads well and TC cuts in all the time. Then moan at Lambo for not making it right.

 

Zero problems with you all discussing this topic but, the moment that you all start going to the personal side with insults and such, it's going to get shut down... please keep that in mind.
