GT Auto stop/start?

^ Tonneau covers are primary intended to protect and/or secure the contents of the bed, not provide any increase in MPGs. Air dam skirts are primarily intended to provide downforce at higher speeds to improve stability, not (necessarily) to improve MPGs. A.S.S.? Well, that's just a joke, AFAIC.

Mine was built 1/21/24 and according to the latest window sticker I do not have SS.
GT Premium, auto, no PP. Maybe I got lucky?

So I took delivery today and no SS on my GT Premium. Not listed on window sticker, however if I expand the model information link it does say Engine 5 liter with start/stop
Here's a pic of my dash. Sorry for crap picture but sun was glaring.

In the past, both were touted to help with MPG. Not disagreeing with what you said though as I know that's the reasoning. Just saying, from a marketing standpoint, that was their original selling line. A.S.S. - Auto Start Stop

Interesting data point. I guess maybe it's still kind of random who gets SS and who doesn't, lol.

i have the absolute worst luck on planet. If it weren't for bad luck I would have no luck at all.
I'm glad this one worked out for me. I drove a rental car with SS and it was quite irritating in my opinion.

Not random. Job 2 started mid Jan. All after have SS.

Mine has it but it never worked. Wondering if its broken or what.

Mine also is supposed to have it. It has the button to turn it off but it doesn't work. Manual trans Built 3/18/24. Hopefully they don't fix it with a software update.

Mine does not have it, and I'm glad that it doesn't. My wife's vehicle, a 2020 Ford Escape Titanium, has it. But when the engine shuts off at a stop light, all that is associated with normal engine operation also stops, including the air conditioner compressor. Within a short period of time the nice cool air being blown into the interior of the car, starts to warm up. I suspect this is only temporary if you are stopped for an extended period of time, I have never found that out. But the good news is that the S/S feature quit working, and we have never had it repaired.

This is truly the best of both worlds. No gas guzzler tax, no empty button, but no Start / Stop either! You hit the lottery
