UPDATE: Ok, well, I'm finding this is quite a bit out of my realm since all these stability systems are so closely tied into each other. I talked to someone at known custom tuning shop in South Carolina who specializes in this and there is a software solution, but requires hardware and codes...

Not trying to spin the wheels or anything like that. Call me old school but I find the driver assist doesn't give me a true feeling of the road. When it's disabled, I can feel the grip of the tires on the road pulling on the steering wheel, especially in turns. With it enabled, it feels almost...

Yeah, I went through my manual as well and don't see the option. I'm assuming I need to go through FORScan to bypass this stuff.

Peter, I really find that hard to believe. I'm not sure how traction control affects other unrelated sensing systems but being a software engineer, I just don't see the relation.

How can I disable traction control permanently? I can disable thru the menu between each restart but haven't figured it out how to set it as default. Sorry if this is a redundant question but I found various results with no luck. :)

Nevermind. I figured it out. For anyone else who is wondering how to access the other HD channels of your favorite radio stations, select the Direct Tune option and manually enter your radio station but include the alternate HD channel (i.e., add the number 2 or 3, etc. at the end) and save...

forgive me but I can't figure this out for the life of me... New 2016 purchase and the HD channel of my favorite OTA radio stations have multiple HD channels. For example, my favorite station shows numbers 2 & 3 next to it on the mysync display and I don't know how I can access those other...

haha! Thanks! It's been a long time since I drove something nice. :)

BTW, here's a shot I took of the rear quarter panel at sunset last weekend after detailing it. Now I remember why I like cars :)

Oh yes it does! I detailed it last weekend and the reflection is even more deep. Next up is lowering, aftermarket tuner and exhaust kit. I haven't had a speeding ticket in over 20 years and will be lucky if I don't get pulled over within the next year. I can't help it because I'm not used to the...

Speaking as someone who was reserved in buying a 2017, I ended getting a great deal on a 2016 401a package that I wasn't even considering because the deal was just too good to pass up. I guess the only buyers remorse I feel is the iPad-like swipe touchscreen. When it came down to the raw...

hahaha! That's rich! yeah, this thread was simply sarcasm and toying around after spending most of Saturday afternoon detailing my new ride. The alcohol eventually took over. :rolleyes:

Possibly. The wife rode in it for the first time today and she said she felt like a little kid because the seats sit pretty low when comparing it to the window. I like how it is, though.

Yes, it's a real complaint. Not Ford's problem. They need to make drive-thru ATM's higher.

to add to that, I'm seeing 3 year old Sports going for 33-36k (this was my baseline). Based on that, I think I'm in the ballpark. The point is, it gives me enough leverage to buy at the end of the term or put a nice down payment on a new 2020 model because it free's up income. It may not work...

The vehicle sits much higher than many drive thru ATM's accommodate.

I explained it (or justified it) earlier in the thread. I get it though but here it is in a nutshell; I'm in a lucky position to live only 3 miles away from my job. Based on my Jeeps's odometer, I average 7k miles a year. I choose to go the lease route instead of buying because the lower...

I wish. Waiting on plates. Ohio law states a front license plate needs to be in "plain view", meaning 99% of vehicles have it mounted on the front bumper. The other 1% have their front plate wedged between the windshield and dashboard, which still might get you ticketed because "plain view"...

Answer to my own post for others who are looking; my 2019 buyout price for a 2016 Sport with a 401a package is $29,750.

All I have to say if you're looking for a 2016, you better move quick because after last weekend, most of the ones I was eyeing were sold. A friend explained it to me. He said, it's May and the school year is ending and a lot of families are buying because of the incentives so the choices are...

Got one for $45,000 with the 401A package and moonroof, etc. Couldn't pass it up. Thanks.

I pulled the plug today and got a '16 Sport with the 401a package at a STEAL thanks to you guys! My first NEW VEHICLE!!! I've been saving for a few months now, fixing stupid credit stuff (800 FICO auto score as of today - I was at 680 with TransUnion in February), learned to look for problems...

already read through the old posts but still didn't answer the question.

2017 Sport Appearance Package -vs- 2017 Sport Anybody know what the visual difference between these two trim types will be? Irregardless of internals, such as suspension and motor, etc., the only visual indicators I can figure out is the wheels, exhaust ports and badge. Is there anything else...

Thanks blwnsmoke & SGT1411 for the info. Btw, what is an MP2 Prototype?
