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

You do realize the OP asked about Launch Control right? That was the point of this thread. So that makes him and I both idiots then.

You said it had no limited slip or locker. I proved you wrong yet again. You said it can’t spin wheels on drive pavement stock, and it can.

Now you are calling me and the OP names. Only thing left in your standard playbook is to mention a V8, typically the Hemi. Just do it, so the thread feels complete.

Yes, sorry to say this, you both are idiots. You don't race a Expedition. Also an electric locker is not a posi.

Not sure why this has to be confrontational.

none of us who enjoy getting faster speeds has any delusion that we can beat a perf model mustang.

I find the respectful inputs both entertaining and informational.

thank you to those who participate in that spirit.

Hah, what a hilarious thread this turned into. Let me clarify. I’m not worried about beating mustangs or corvettes. I understand this is a family hauler. I do know it has enough power to break the tires loose, that’s not my goal. I’d rather have my tires last longer, 22’s aren’t cheap. I have a performance Mustang for that. I understand there’s not really a formal launch mode, again I don’t expect a lot of performance features here. What I was looking for is a more efficient way to control boost, air/fuel ratio, etc., from a launch standpoint.

I simply prefer efficiency and maximizing what I have. Therefore, if I want to see everything this Expedition has, stock, I want to know the best way to do it.

@rjdelp7 - I really don’t care much for an argument on your subjective views on a 4th gen that you don’t own, or comments irrelevant to the topic. Pitch in to the question or move on to another thread.

I try, I really do! This Troll comes up all the time. He has threatened me several times. Called me and others in this and the 3rd Gen Area names, but yet thinks I should be banned.

I answered the OP’s question. I have launched this thing many times. It is VERY fun to have this big thing hustle as quick as it does.

It’s much quicker than I expected, especially with 91 vs 87 octane. My need for speed is excited to see what a launch does.

I am here for your entertainment! Haha!!!

It will surprise you with what it is capable of.

22’s here too. Not going around doing burnouts either, but it is definitely capable of it, with the right set of buttons pushed, and the right technique.
