2023 FORD EXPLORER AUTO START-STOP REMOVAL OPTION DELETED

[peterk9]

I thought it would only be a matter of time. I guess it will be good news for the aftermarket and possibly FORScan users.

So, a removal option has been deleted? Is that a double negative and it means that auto stop-start will actually be included in future Explorers?

Does anyone actually want auto start stop?

Yes. I liked it. In europe is was pain. But us it has more meaning

It does really matter to me as it hardly ever comes on due to my limited driving. When it does come on, it doesn't bother me at all.

ON the 3 cars I had with it that weren't PHEVs, I liked it. When it didn't activate, I actually thought "what the heck is the engine still running for?"
And my 2018 Cadillac XT5 didn't have a button to turn it off, ever. But I could drive so it wouldn't trigger (like at stop signs, then it is stoopid) in several ways. Tap the downshift tab as I stopped. Or stop/creep/stop... many ways without disabling it altogether.
No PHEV's they are the bee's knees when it comes to this stuff, engine is typically off the whole time you are slowing down, and as you pull out, only fires up if needed.

The features should all be user controlled, either default on or default off, by the driver's choice. That's the way of freedom, if you like it one way, you do that, but don't force others to do it your way.

Mercedes has the best way to control it. In addition to button you can also control with brake pedal.
Push to brake and stop
Push harder to stop engine
Push more to activate hold function. After you get used to how much you need to stop on brake its the dream.
