4x4 Question
I have had several 4x4 over the years and this is the first one without a neutral position, (I have a 2010 STX 4x4 with ESOF), it's not a real big deal as I have never had the need to flat tow my truck, I was wondering what everyone else thought?
Thanks

Well I just wanted some feedback from other ford owners with esof and if not having a neutral position was of any concern. All my other fords have been manuel shift 4x4 not MSOF and have had a neutral position. My last truck that I traded in was a chevy colorado and it had GM's version of esof and had a neutal position, really was just wondering why fords esof does not have it, not really a big deal I have never used that position in other trucks. If someone did have the need to tow there truck with 4x4 the neutral position would make it a lot easier.
Thanks

Even if the truck had a neutral position on the ESOF, you'd have to leave the truck running or come up with some crazy vacuum reservior to keep the IWE's unlocked if you wanted to flat tow the 4x4. Really an interesting topic if you ask me.

I never really used the N in any of my 4x4 trucks, so it doesn't concern me. Interesting question for sure, but how many are going to flat-tow one of these? I doubt I will ever do it, just call a rollback to come scoop it up
