Transfer Case

According to the Ford Build your own website there is no options for anything other than the shift on the fly transfer case. Is this the case? I guess I'm old school in the fact I like to feel the positiveness of pulling the shifter in manually to be assured of full engagement. My 2007 has the manual t-case and that would be my preferance. As usual Thanks for the feedback.... Scotty

If you order the XLT 4x4 it comes with manual & you can upgrade (dowgrade?) to ESOF... I think Lariat package includes it..

The XL and XLT come standard with manual locking hubs and the manual shifter. Byram is correct that you can buy the ESOF and auto/manual locking hubs as an upgrade on the XLT line. I like the fact that they allow you to manually lock the hubs in case of auto hub failure. As well, I like the ELD capability. IMHO, much better than limited slip.

Question, With the ESOF can you put the truck in neutral? My Parents have a Phaton coach and would like to flat tow the truck behind it.

I didn't know you could get the manual T-Case in the XLT. Man I wish I had that.

They had a totally stripped down XL on the lot with manual T-Case.

I wonder if it would be hard to change my electronic to a manual.

I don't think so...

When I greased the yokes on my '08 it took all of 10 minutes to remove the main drive shaft. I would think that doing so would be the best way to pull your truck behind that Phaeton. I didn't have to remove the whole shaft but it was very easy to do the front joint so I am sure that the rear joint at the diff would also be very easy.
