As we know, the idea behind 4 auto is that as soon as the Bronco detects slip, 4x4 kicks in and helps mitigate the issue.
If you have 4A its turned on when you set your GOAT mode to slippery.
In my head, slippery mode should be the best mode for snow. Could you use 4hi? Sure! but if your city is like mine, some streets are perfectly clear and others are snowy wrecks. Using 4hi on dry non-slip surfaces can be detrimental to the system - Thus Slippery mode/4A seems like the answer!
We've received some snow in south east Michigan (4-6"), so I spent some time driving around in Slippery mode... it kinda sucks?
I was testing the mode in an empty snow filled parking lot, with slippery mode engaged, I would go to make a turn at a reasonable speed (7/10mph) and would immediately feel the back end kicking out, 4A didn't seem to catch it or engage until the slide was realllllly going. Perform the same move again with 4hi engaged and the slide didn't exist.
anyone else experiencing this level of lag with 4A engaging? Doesn't seem very useful.
