Forscan "Crawl" mode in a non-Tremor

Can Forscan turn on "crawl" mode on a non-Tremor? Other super duties have the hill decent witch is virtually the same thing, but can the uphill part of that be added?
Someone said it should in the 2017+ fb group, and figured it makes sense, but you guys would know. That's about the only aspect of a tremor that appeals to me.

Good call, but it looks like the Forscan thread is mainly a tutorial and not a conversation. Is there another one that has more questions and answers of members?

I’m interested in this as well! I’ll follow once you post over in the ForScan thread... pretty much only thing I’m missing other than the sicker on my 8’ bed I would have pulled that off just like I did the Fx4 sticker😉 Winch is on back-order along with wheels, but my 325/60/20 Duratracs did show up!

Hey Zoo, I searched under "crawl" and nothing back. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have looked for something referencing this mode. I am thinking it is in the TCM which we can’t program.

If I can get part, calibration and strategy numbers from a tremor it may be in that

I'd also be interested in the recalibration outcome for crawl.

or maybe just a 2wd low mode? I saw someone used an upfitter to engage 2wd low but would be real nice if it could be engaged via the drive mode switch.

**edit - my google education explains rock crawl mode is used when operating in 4wd low range. It’s enabling a mode in the transmission, so maybe it could be programmed via forescan (?). https://media.ford.com/content/fordm...d-package.html

That's similar to what I found. It's essentially 4wd low with a controlled throttle input. My right foot does the same thing.
Side note: I did the 2lo mod to my truck. I don't use it often but it is handy when I do.

See link below. Super simple to do if you have upfitter switches. Can still be done without but upfitters make it easier.

If it is like what in the Raptor I had it will need to use the Sync three screen and front camera to show you what is in front of you. I used it twice on my Raptor in the time I owned it. When I went to Raptor Assault we used it going up and down the mountains. Set it a three miles an hour and forget it either going up or down.

I could see using it more if I did some serious mountain trails. I really didn't see any benefit to it on any other type of use.

Not sure it is like the Raptors
