What's your most under-used feature?

[tourproto]

May I ask why? I use mine every time my front wipers are on, I like to be able to see what's going on directly behind me. I'm sure it has something to do with climate, plenty of rain, road spray and snow here.

There is a "courtesy wipe mode" for the rear wiper that when your front wipers are on and you go into "reverse", the rear wiper does one wipe. Its actually a nice feature IMO.

Yes, but I would like it not to disconnect until after 25. For some reason, I find a lot of trails where I'm going faster than 20 and have to decide if I want it smoother (disconnected), or to get where I want to be sooner. I'd really like it to work until 30mph, but I don't want to be greedy.

Talk to the lawyers. I am sure one of them decided on the 20mph limit.

I made sure that was turned off, it would run dry most of the time, but I use the rear wiper a lot.

I've never put mine in 4WD mode...LOL

Mostly because I've had no reason to...we haven't gotten snow worth a damn since I got it to try it out and when I've been "off road" its just been a trail that was nothing but flat ground to get to a camping site lol

Totally agree. What is really irritating is that the front camera is tied to the GOAT modes for certain situations. I wish it would just work in 4H all the time.

You know that you can toggle the button, right?

The ditch lights on the mirrors.

On the Raptor specifically, the rear view mirror that is mostly blocked by the spare and third brake light. I covered it with Wolfbox 900.

The camera button that sits above the climate controls? Yes, and sometimes in 4H it works when I stay under 20mph but sometimes it gives me the message ‘Some features have been locked out for your safety’ When this happen if I choose a GOAT mode it will work.

Hmm

Cruise Control probably - just regular old cruise control. I’m very rarely in a situation where I can use it without needing a lot of supervision. Very early morning / late night highway is about it - which isn’t very often I do that.

Although cruise control does let you shift without canceling and uses rev matching with or without ProCal on the 7MT - that is pretty neat.

Apart from that - I really only twist the Goat modes to show new folks the pretty pictures on the cluster. I used downhill mode once - which was nice but not nearly as nice as 4L Crawl.

I don’t have a hard top that can use the rear wiper or defrost.

I’ve not had to manually disengage traction control yet. Usually if I’m in a situation like that I’m already in 4L and it takes care of it for me.

I don’t have a lot any of the lux/mid package stuff so … not a lot for me to not use I guess.

I haven’t used Aux 1 or 2 yet. Still waiting for Ford to come out with those accessories.

I struggled with this too and used this post as inspiration. The Yeti Sidekick is a great addition to the Molle panels for stashing small gear. You can then 'sling' it on if you're walking about like to watch your kid's soccer game in my case. Snacks, water, phone, wallet, keys, and other things are then close at hand.

When I have offroaded, the goat modes can be really useful when you're in the right terrain, but I've found the sway bar disconnect to be the least used item.

If I had those, I would end up with them full of dog fur...

Wifes badlands front nand rear lockers! Also the front swaybar disconnect. Do need any of that going to the mall..

I kinda like the limited rear vis in the Raptor. That 3rd brake light blocks all the DA drivers here in Upstate NY that forget to dim their bright lights.
