Disabling Auto Start Stop permanently?

[rchandler9]

Auto start/stop sucks! And I really hate this statement from the owners manual. Why can this not be permanently turned off!!! I hate this feature!

-Can I permanently switch the system off?
No. The system plays an important role in reducing the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions.

there are some ways to make it not stop. Hoping the interior climate is one of them. Either that or I can drive with the door open ;)

I think it's only on the ecoboost and not the GT but not 100% sure, really hoping it's not on the GT.

It's currently not on the GT but will be added in later in the year from what I remember

My ignorance is showing on this topic but will the engine shut down if your foot is on the brake? The manual indicates that tapping the brake will reset the timer so if your foot is on the brake where it should be when you're stuck in traffic, will the feature be disabled? If not, it sounds a bit dangerous having your engine shut down in traffic.

Correct.

It will shut the engine off at any stoplights, or stopping in traffic. I have had other Fords with it and it sucks. I hate it. We ordered our 22 Expedition without it. But could not do that with my DH.

Look like the GTs being shipped out doesn’t have the Auto Start/Stop. Photo from a dealership in Ohio.

I will be so happy if that is the case!! I want to hear my V8 rumble at stoplights.

Does not seem possible. Wonder if they built it ahead of schedule.
