Re: Drove a newer truck and love my square 10x more

2nd on the owners manual for newer vehicles. The traction control button for my 09 Escape is at the base of the center dash console.

One 'feature' I tripped over by accident while reviewing the rather lengthy book was that if a tail brake light is burned out, it won't shift into gear. There is an override but I wonder how many vehicles are towed to the shop with a 'jammed shifter' that the dealer fixes with a new tail light bulb.

Still get some looks of envy from new truck owners while loading the full sized 8' bed on my 75 C10 while they are figuring out how to get those 12' boards to fit in that 5' bed on their sedan substitute pickup.
