Auto stop/start is big with Ford. I wouldnt have it. Always defaults on
unless you mod it or buy a kit. Ford says they have a better starter & battery so no extra wear. Begs the question why not put the better stuff in ALL the cars ? With manuals I almost always started in 2nd. Only time for 1st was when you were doing comparative driving or a smoke show. Another feature lost on automatics is the D2 that skips 1st. In snow both my Crown Vic & Roadmaster would just spin the tires in 1st the second you let off the brakes. Interesting thing on gearing. The Mt. Washington Auto Road uses GMC vans as limos. https://mtwashingtonautoroad.com/guided-tours They are geared so you have to accelerate to go DOWN hill. Let off the gas & you come to a stop. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |
