Dad's F-150 has a button on the dash to disable, but I wonder if some drive modes will disable it by default. Similar to how my Mustang disables traction control in Track mode.

There will be aftermarket than can disable it. And likely through forscan as well so don't worry if your anti start stop.

I hope it’s something that can be disabled.

Googled it real quick and there's plenty of options from $40 plug in disable up to using a tuner to do so. As well as a quick and dirty way like unplugging the harness for the button thus putting it in bypass mode.

You can plug a $3 trailer light tester into the trailer light socket and disable Start/Stop on other Ford Vehicles.
Thanks. I'm sure it is fine and well tested, I just find it annoying. YMMV

I saw that, but it'll display that you have a trailer every time you start the truck. I'd think that would be as annoying as having to push the AUTO-START-STOP button every time.

The last few rental cars we’ve had included stop/start. Expedition & Jeep Compass. I got used to it after a couple days and it does save a little gas.

I have also heard that it can mess with your maintenance intervals... the truck thinks it is pulling a trailer and thus wants the oil changed sooner etc.

No idea personally, my junk so far is too old to have it.

As long as you can turn it off, I couldn't care less. Wife's beamer has it and I turn it off every time I get in the car. Air Condition works better with the engine running. Hot as hell in traffic in Florida... Tree huggers can go butt-a-stump. I'm running my engine.

I have a 2019 Escape w/ the start-stop annoyance. When in the “S”, sport position, on the gear selector it disables the start-stop.
