ASNU Member 261 Member For: 21y 11m 26d Location: Brooklyn Posted 19/04/03 06:21 AM Share Posted 19/04/03 06:21 AM I assume the traction control is not fitted or not turned on as it is raining quite heavy in Sydney and I am getting very sideways when the boost comes on.Where is the switch or do the utes not have this fitted?.

Utes tend to get pretty sideways in the wet because of the lack of weight over the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct here. The Ute does not have T/C fittedRefer to the Ford website specs:Ute Specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psi_guy Member 30 Member For: 22y 16d Location: Melbourne Posted 20/04/03 07:21 AM Share Posted 20/04/03 07:21 AM Have to agree. You think it's dangerous -> don't do it! Bummer that the Utes don't have T/C though. Do you ever get sideways when you carry loads? Wet or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from my 2700kms so far. Sideways anyone......And no, the only traction control is your right foot. Wet or dry, it really doesn't matter. Try launching it at anything approaching fast and the tyres disappear into smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
