How can I tell if my truck has it? Bought it from non ford dealer and it had no manual or window sticker. I assume there is an on/off button or switch like for the reverse warning sensor, but I don't find one. I do see an un-illuminated symbol on the gauge display between the gas gauge and the tach that shows the Traction Control Symbol. Thoughts?

 

You could always check your manual. Normally there would be a way to switch it off, from personal experience anyway. You could always try and and get it to lose traction. You are in Ohio, find a snowy parking lot and punch it a bit. If you just sit and spin, then there's no traction control, but if you traction light comes on and you notice decreased engine power, then you have traction control.

EDIT: Sorry, read over the part about no manual. Try ebay to find one, they're very handy to have.

 

You truck does not have traction control. It's not available on an F-150. I don't think you can do traction control when there is no differential between the front and rear axle.

 

Sorry I beg to differ, but Traction Control is listed as an option on the 4x2 V8's in my 2008 Ford F-150 Literature, as well as the www.fordvehicle.com site. I believe I would have a button to disable it was there, but I was curious to see if there was another way to tell. Looks like I may just have to hit an icy parking lot and see if I can get the symbol to light up as suggested in the earlier post.

 

On the 06 there was a button/switch by the cigarette lighter.

 

You can download a .pdf version of your owners manual From Ford Fleet.

If you have traction control, there would be a switch to disable.

 

I stand corrected. I've never seen that option on any truck, and never noticed it in the literature.

 

Thanks for the website, that helps alot! and no I don't have traction control.

 

I Have a 08 F150 4x4 Super Crew and when you do lose traction your CPU will kick on when it happens
