All turbo 2017 F150's to get start-stop standard, including Raptor

In to hear all the downsides from all the negative nancy's...

I wasn't a fan of it when driving for a day. After that, you hardly even notice it, unless you're quick from the brake-to-gas like I am at certain stops. But you can manage. You can usually also have this disabled and the dealer will do it at no cost.

Aww how cute! It rests so it can go harder longer!

I bet the range of the gen 2 will go well beyond 500 miles.

Should come in handy when climbing a hill in Colorado or some deep snow during a Raptor run.

Just call me Nancy I guess..............

There's variables where it won't turn off. To name a few: when steering wheel is turned when stopped, when turn signal is on when stopped, when battery voltage is too low, too many accessories running, if you've come to a very hard stop, etc.

Eh Raptor cal is a specific cal I bet the raptor aint getting it...

My '14 BMW 535xi Diesel is equipped with this tech. Doesn't bother me at all and if it saves $ on fuel, which it seems it does, than that is some good news.

All I'm saying is, the last thing you want is your truck's engine shutting off on a 30% grade when climbing loose rocks in the Colorado mountains. Makes sense, huh? I'm sure in the concrete jungle, it will be wonderful. Not off road.......

You realize there's also a button you can press to turn it off, but defaults back to on after shutting off the car.
