Driving in "Sport Mode" disables it. The next time you start the truck it will ask you "Do you want to return to Sport Mode" and press OK on the steering wheel.

I understand it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's the closest thing next to disabling with FORScan.

Also any time you’re connected to a trailer it turns it off.

And this brings up a second anoying feature...having to confirm my previous drive mode setting everytime I start my truck. Just remember all my settings. Not difficult.

They may as well have just made that screen prompt say "Would you like a randomized setting?" Call it "Surprise Me Mode".

Oh, nice. Good to hear.

I didn't buy a Ranger to be fuel efficient and I knew what I was getting into with fuel costs and MPG. There's plenty of options if you want an MPG friendly vehicle.

I agree totally. We didn’t purchase a Raptor for its fuel economy.

Your Nissan got 4 mpg?

I've never seen so many people this outraged by having to push a button.

No, it got 12-13 in town. So my ranger gets 7-9mpg better, sorry

I bypassed mine. One less friggin button to push. I hate having to push all the "ok" this, "return to sport mode" that, etc... I just want to be able to have all my settings ready when I turn the key and go. Just too many reminders and prompts.

 

[superj]

Did you use that 100 dollar deal on amazon to bypass it?

Used 4DTech. Works like a champ. Worth every 3 cent penny.

I'm with the "it depends" responses. This would not be an issue at all if one could easily turn out of in settings.

It is barely noticeable with my 2.7 engine. There also seems to be a spot just above fully depressed brake pedal where the engine will start, and the breaks are still engaged. I turned it off maybe twice in 6 months.

Auto Stop/Start doesn't belong in cars. It just doesn't. Think about this logically for a second. How much is it REALLY helping the environment? We know this isn't for fuel savings and it's just going to long term potentially dmg your engine. Stupid @$$ technology.

You people and your generation believe everything you hear and read. It’s not going away. Guess what else isn’t going away? EV’s. But hey, keep crying about it

Huh? I missed the part where he or anyone else here identified his age. Maybe I'm stupid. Or maybe I'm not the stupid one who makes assumptions with no basis.
