I think the classic skidding car is dumb and out dated. I would like to see the simple one push on the TC button a car starting to flip over say at around 30 to 45 degree angle with the driver to the roller coaster arms. The 10 sec push should get something a little better like the car skidding off a cliff with a small explosion and a skull and cross bones at the end.

Great idea. I really like your icon idea after the 10 sec push. Actually that would probably help Ford with any lawsuits- All they would have to do is show that icon to the jury and tell 'em "Hey could we make it any more clear?"

All we ever needed was two LEDs with text indicating which of the two modes (press & hold).

Ford addressed this with the new in-dash display which is very nice.

I pretty sure it still just says TC on or TC off and still doesn't do anything special for full disable. BTW this thread isn't just about the Raptor. The Mustang is the same as the Raptor when disabling TC. This is more about all cars.

I don't mind the one in the 2010s. The one in the 2011s however needs work. It has a picture of the sliding car, with the word "OFF" written underneath it.

On the dash LCD, the offroad screen shows a picture of the button with "OFF" written underneath it, exactly as it is on the button. To the right of the image the state is displayed, either "NORMAL", "SPORT", or "OFF". Kind of confusing for noobs, and a bit silly altogether.

Your suggestion however is perfect!
