to clear the air- my bil is no mechanic, nor a liar(why go there) but i get your point-i was a wrench for many years too. he was a teamster's union, car hauler of ford products. he is very familiar with all the controls for a long period. in the situation you found my grammer,etc., lacking i'll try again. surgery and one hand typing is a bitch.
he was saying that the older model super duty ford trucks equipped with 4x4 auto-they had a known problem wherein the throttle would stick and on. he was up in the air trying to drive a truck, so equipped, off his carrier. the throttle stuck and he and the truck landed on the pavement behind the trailer. his boss , who was not yet clear on the scenario, asked him how he got out of the truck. he is a smart axx -like me- and said, i opened the door of the truck. he was simply telling me that the trucks set up with the early version of 4wd as is the point of this thread- they had a throttle sticks on problem.
i know it's a long way around to think that problem remains an issue today but as he told it it was a cute tale.

Hi guys,
I'm in the auto industry 30 years (work for BMW 22 years). I know my way around cars/trucks. I have a 2015 King Ranch 3.5 EB on order with 3.31 gears. Did I miss something? I am unaware of the automatic 4WD. Is it standard because I did not see it when I picked my options online? I just sold me 2009 F250 Cabelas Edition also. Is there a setting to choose if it's standard to engage this feature? I only knew of 2WD, 4WD H and L.
Thanks.

Standard on Lariat and above.
The **** has an extra setting.

Demetri Mirissis

Nice, that sounds promising. Are there thoughts of fuel economy using that setting vs. 2WD normal mode?

brulaz

Not as good for sure.

On the **** it shows something like 2h 4a 4h 4l auto mode is like making it all wheel drive rough though I used it a couple times spotty roads and such you will feel a difference when u in it

mechanicboy

If it works as described then you will lose some fuel economy with auto mode. I'd only use it when in bad weather.

Demetri Mirissis

Agreed. I like the idea of Auto 4WD rather than going into 4WD (unless significant snow)...
Thanks guys.

On a different note, I know the wheel liners are spoken of in other threads, but does anyone know if the "delayed" option is for both front and rear of the truck? I really want the option and my truck hasn't been confirmed with production yet. Do I need to take this question to a different thread?

Curmudgeon

Your truck will be delivered with front wheel liners...they're standard equipment.
