You're right, my bad. I forgot it's a "performance vehicle".
If this isn’t a performance vehicle I don’t exactly know what would be. It’s not a Senna but a senna is not a raptor. Big ol 3” shocks over 700 hp yeah it’s a pedestrian vehicle for sure. Your right my bad. Oh wait it literally says Ford performance on the door sill. Just curious what is a “Performance vehicle” to you then if the top dog raptor doesn’t cut the mustard for you?

Wasnt a dig at you dude. "Performance vehicle" was his response.

I agree. It's a performance vehicle for sure. Just in the right settings it was designed for.
2H on pavement +95, fine
4A on pavement +95, fine
4H on pavement +95, stupid as stupid can be.

Possible there is a manufacture issue with the OP's truck. But we're lacking info like the errors, the dealer saw, if he was in 4H or 4A, how many times he hit the rev limiter etc.

I think a lot of people mistake 4A for 4wd when talking about the street. At least I hope. I think this is why after awhile FP gave us drive modes because people aren’t reliable.

yes, correct, and even with drives mode, I am sure, some manage to do to beginer mistakes...
I hope @Quaesta doesn't hit 95 mph on pavement in 4WD...

Had anyone read my post you would see I said I was in sport mode. Ford in their infinite wisdom default the truck into 4A when in sport mode.

Is that just an R thing? Just checked on my 23 in sport defaults at 2H

Can you program the R button to sport mode with 2H?

Yes it’s an R thing as the truck has too much power to not spin the wheels in 2wd.

Yes you can program the R button to be in whatever configuration you prefer.

Is it 'not to spin the wheels', or bunny hop until either the drive shaft or axles exit the chat?
