I wondered why I have more than once ended up in reverse rather than neutral when driving onto a conveyor belt when going through an automatic car wash. When not completely stoped I find the neutral position a bit clumsy do to the trigger. Thanks for sharing why this has happened. It is inbarrasing to stop the conveyor, find neutral and then have to be reset on the conveyor by an operator who is holding back a laugh.Is anyone else bothered with having to pull the trigger on the shift lever to shift from Drive back into Neutral?
The seems us WRONG and have never had to do that on any other vehicle I have had, including other Fords.
This just seems like a safety issue to me. If I have a runaway throttle and wanted to slap it into neutral to stop the acceleration, I certainly would NOT want my anxiousness to cause me to accidentally go too far and put it in Reverse, or Park, by mistake.
Dude I have a fx4 if I get stuck in snow while normal driving we have bigger issues....lolRemember the Dodge push button trans controls? People would get stuck in the snow and go back and forth from d to r until their transmission was cooked. You lucky people who live in the snow can test out what speed you can shift from drive to reverse and back as you try to get unstuck next winter LOL.
It's not the fx4 that gets people stuck in the snow, it's the turboDude I have a fx4 if I get stuck in snow while normal driving we have bigger issues....lol
Or the "I have 4WD so I can go ANYWHERE" mindset....It's not the fx4 that gets people stuck in the snow, it's the turbo
for 10 years my daily driver was a neon sport. I live in the snow belt of Canada and I never got stuck once. I can't imagine a situation where I could get stuck in snow with my new ranger under normal driving conditions.Or the "I have 4WD so I can go ANYWHERE" mindset....
I pulled a Toyota Land Cruiser out of a mountain road ditch filled with snow using Trail Management. The truck is awesome regardless of perceived minor issues/differences.for 10 years my daily driver was a neon sport. I live in the snow belt of Canada and I never got stuck once.
