Hybrid question - How do you rev the engine?

[Prickly Pear]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have searched for an answer and can't find one.
I was sitting in PARK the other day with the ICE running - I had just started the truck and it was warming up coolant and/or charging the HV battery. I gave the pedal a little push to hear what the engine sounded like revving and nothing happened. It seems like the only way to "give it gas" is when you are in gear and want to accelerate . I don't necessarily have a need to increase RPM when I am standing still, but there might be times when I want to hear a little vroom-vroom. Is there a way to do this that I have not figured out yet?

No vroom-vroom for
hybrid owners.

Update:
The best we hybrid owners can do.


Enjoy.

Push down harder or turn on the AC

I was thinking there must be a "test mode" or something so you could diagnose mis-fires etc. I guess I am still living in the 70's

...diagnose mis-fires etc.

That's the truck computers' job.

Thank you very much, excellent info!

Makes it difficult to challenge someone at a stoplight, huh?

Turn the heat on when the engine is cold. Simple.

I just floor the accelerator while the truck is in park. It will kick on the engine and rev it to about 2500 RPMs or so. I do this after changing the oil to check for leaks

Would changing the drive mode to Tow/Haul work since that keeps the ICE running?

If AC is set to HI or Low (above or below the numbers of 85°F/60°F), the ice will stay on.

Don't forget to turn up the speakers or is that only on EcoBoost?
Just in case.

Not really a practical/quick way to "rev" at the girls with a hybrid. That's why I also have two Harleys that "rev" any time I want
