do you have advance track on youre truck and if so was it on or off

[coreyhess1]

@yellowcow13 yea it has it when i put it in 4wd low it says traction control off

@coreyhess1 just to give you a little help if you leave advancetrac on when you switch to 4Low it will only disable the stability/rsc portion and leave the traction on for maximum traction.

@k2sb20033 yea there is a ding that tells me in my message center

4th gen explorers arent good for offroad. 1st and 2nd gen are the best for that.

Yes the dirt pile doesn't look steep because it isn't. Weak.

I had an 02 V8 XLT no traction control or nothing did great offroad me and my dad drove that thing to the ground.

@coreyhess1 oh thanks i can tell you need a LSD the traction controal serves as a LSD but oh well the tow package explorers should have a rear LSD standard i think i have to check.
