How does AWD system work in 2023 XLT Ecoboost?

[710-oil-614]

Not sure if that's really necessary. Subject matter on Ford AWD system many say slippery mode without traction control if stuck.

Necessary? No. Easy to do? Yes and I want all drive modes available.

Also I would like the off-road screen and I would appreciate being able to see the power split between wheels which they've taken away from the 2025 Lariat (at least).

On my previous post I forgot to add Low not just drive mode. I plan on editing that post. I guess I understand you still not getting the suspension, front tow hooks, AT tires, wheels, skid plate. Of course the AT tires, wheels and skid plate can also be added.

As long as you enjoy your truck, that's all that matters. And you are willing to sacrifice the factory warranty and powertrain warranty. From what I've read not sure if true it voids your warranty unless your able to reverse the changes before taking it to the dealership.

I promise you I am not sacrificing the factory warranty by adding drive modes and the off-road screen.

I did both to my Tremor, added lane keep assist, and had it in for service multiple times without issue.

The suspension is identical. "Performance tuned" by Ford is fancy jargon for "nothing different". It has no more travel, it doesn't have an external reservoir, the shocks have just been made softer or firmer but they are not functionally better.

I wouldn't be off roading a vehicle where I need tow hooks.

I do plan on adding Rival's underbody skid plates, and in due time I may add a flat out suspension kit or air bags to increase payload and maximize the 4K towing capabilities.
