Addressing torque steer?

[GDN]

To my knowledge, Off-Road mode only locks the rear differential, not the front. Has anyone tested this?

I'll probably get proven wrong real quick, but I haven't read or heard about even a possibility of locking the front. I don't think it is a possibility on our trucks is it? Only happens for the rear.

I seem to faintly recall a Munro teardown video which indicated the lock up is only on the rear axle

If this is the case, Off-Road mode should not affect Torque Steering. I think we just have to hang on tighter when we want to launch ;-)

I am a bit disappointed to hear of a torque steer problem on this truck. I was hoping the tuning would have been rear biased instead of front biased, which is what a normal ICE truck is.

Nothing to worry about, we have massive torque, it's to be expected. It almost feels like the front end lifts up on hard 0-XX acceleration. If you're aware, you anticipate it.

Torque steer is all the time. Caused by different length drive shafts. The F-150 does not have torque steer. What you have is traction control kicking in. Or spinning tires.

I read somewhere that the lightning is attracting more non truck people than any other truck out there.

As a non truck owner who is a day 1 reservation holder, and never owned a Ford in my life, I'd agree with what you read.

It's an F150, it sits up higher than a car, and also the suspension can feel "soft" with no or minimal payload. So when you accelerate hard the front end lifts up a bit for some time, contributing to front end wheel spin and you can watch the system send power to the rear and then back front. In my opinion they could firm the suspension but then you have that firm Heavy Duty truck ride.

After reading and now driving the truck for some time now. Driving in loose sand with the "off road" mode on is a huge difference. Acts more like a truck( rear gets loose) good feeling. I've only slightly stepped on it about three times on the road. All 3 times, one or both front tires broke loose( traction control on) not a good feeling. I'm blaming tires, massive power and, too much front power bias. Should be matched or rear bais. Shouldn't spin at all really. Adjustability???
