HAHAHAHA.... You aren't doing it right. If you leave Traction Control on, no it won't spin tires because it is pulling power because it senses wheel spin. If you turn Traction control off even Stock I can spin the back wheels. Engage the ELSD Lock Mode, and I can spin BOTH back wheels launching with Boost, on a Stock Tune with TC off. Need to be in 4A or 4H to not spin even with the Stock tuning.

I repeat, if you don't think it has enough power stock to spin the wheels, you are doing it wrong.

@rjdelp7 Here is a video to educate you again...It has way more than a limited slip.

Don’t think you can lock the rear with the navigator unless you’re in 4 wheel mode right?

Not sure. The Expeditions get a button.

That's not for high performance. It's for slippery roads and snow. Plenty of videos on youtube of mustang, line lock burn outs, launch control and traction control. You need to watch and learn about what real high performance is.

Don’t think anyone is saying the expy is a performance vehicle. Only that it DOES have a locking rear diff and if you want to you can easily smoke tires.

'easily smoke the tires?' I don't think so.

Line Lock? That is parlor trick to do burn outs. Original reason for them was to put heat in the tires before making a run. Now it is so people can do burnouts with out skill.

It is actually easier to launch an Expedition vs a Mustang(Without launch control), because of additional weight and 4 wheel drive.

I know EXACTLY what high performance is. Have you actually ever been on an actual track, say Watkins Glenn, Road America, LimeRock, Summit Point, VIR, Roebling Road, Sebring, Daytona? I have. Drove some seriously fast cars on them. I don’t need to watch videos.

Traction control in most cases is in direct opposition to fast times, both in a straight line and on a road course.

Only an idiot 'launches' an Expedition or compares it to racing a Mustang. Another pathetic argument.
