That was just discussed. Obviously an electrical component is not going to function without electricity.

Maybe cut out the floorboards so you can use your feet to stop after everything else fails?

Or just down shift to “C”.

Or wrapping yourself around a tree. I grew up in PA, whenever it is sketchy I use 4WD. I learned long ago, I had not been drinking that night and a girl at a party wanted me to drive her home, 85 Toyota pickup, not flying down the road just cruising, crossed a frozen bridge, started to slide and couldn't make it to the other side in time. Just about tore the pass. side front wheel off. After that anytime I'm in doubt I use 4WD. ;)
I always wonder about people who are reluctant to use 4wd, you paid thousands of dollars for that hardware, why not use it. The 4A position does the decision making for you.

I feel the same when riding ATVs/UTVs with folks that are reluctant to use it. Meanwhile they're chewing hell out of the trail and holes. Guess I'm a 'tread lightly' guy. . .

I own a utv and grown up 4x4's and I can say the atv's/utv's have torn up the trails here in Colorado so badly it has taken the pleasure out of "jeeping"

that's why all of the leases around here ban paddle tires and other overly aggressive tires. ATVs were tearing up the dirt roads and trails

Christ, some of you whine about the smallest things.
The chance of Ford, or any OEM, manufacturing something that hits every single ridiculous need and or want that you have is 0%

From what I've gathered in my experiences reading here, and on the Mustang forum. Ford might as well fire their R&D department and pull out all their old tooling. Anything that isn't a cloth covered wagon is technological blasphemy and will not be tolerated.

It's the nature of the beast with forums, which are filled with enthusiasts. Everyone wants Ford to basically be Harley Davidson, whose tagline might as well be "yesterday's technology, tomorrows prices"

I was just about to say this exact thing. Mine is a convertible too (and in Florida), so if you're going to have reflection issues, I'd have had it by now.
It doesn't happen to me very often. It's one of those "sun coming in at just the 'right' angle" things. The fact that I get off work at around 4 PM instead of 6-7 PM now may be a big part of why I haven't had it in a while.

Don't forget today's bankruptcy. Or today's ruining of a racing legends name. Or today's failure to attract new riders...

The e-brake is probably an on/off affair. Although, your car would probably detect a brake problem and only allow “limp mode” at best.

You got the right idea about 4A. It’s for when you’re driving and hit black ice or something to that effect and your rear wheels lose traction. It immediacy sends power to the front wheels to keep you from sliding. Beats being in a ditch wishing you had 4WD engaged.
That happened to me on Christmas of 2019 in my f150, but I will still going way to fast to even have it engaged

I am going to have the top off quite a lot, I personally don't want a leather wrapped dash, with leather in every place that you can see. If I wanted to buy a luxury car I would go buy a luxury, but off-roading with the top/doors off though mud and rivers makes me want more plastic something I can just wipe the mud off rather than having to worry about leather or even cloths. For this vehicle it should be more plastic or better yet rubber, making the whole damn thing out of rubber
