So if I understand....and from my own experience....There is no way to completely turn off TCS. I have had everything off and when I really get on it in dirt or gravel...the truck still cuts my roosting fun short. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong or something isnt working right. Does everyone have this problem?

I can only speak for a 2010, but I believe its the same for 2011+ models...

Yes you can completely turn off TCS. Are you pressing and holding the squiggly button for 10 seconds or more? A single press only dulls TCS. A press and hold for 5 sec completely turns it off.

On the 2010, you can't tell TCS is fully off via the display when also in off road mode and/or whenever there's another message it needs to display; you just have to count to ten (to be sure) in your head then release. If there's no other message, you'll see the squiggle line icon flash after a 5 second press indicating TCS is totally off. I'm not sure how the 2011+ shows this.

'Alloy, this is from the quick reference guide that came with the truck



Check your glove box; you should have got one of these too?

I know i have held the button long enough and it flashes on the dash too. Still cuts power when really breaking loose. I dont know.

What year? I can absolutely confirm 100% all 'nannies' are disable-able on the 2010. Can't say for sure on any other year. If you have a 2010, and you cannot disable the nannies, I'd say its time for a dealer visit.
