I know back in the day Fords auto trans would take off in second if selected, how were you able to take off in second now, or was it a manual?Going to Corpus Monday in stop and go traffic, I was amazed of the folks spinning their damn tires every time they tried to start again. Me? 2nd gear, light on the pedal and no spinning..............
they have these things called "ice rinks" with a vehicle called a "Zamboni"? maybe you've heard of them? future revenue stream for the ice rink!And where would these lessons be held between February and December?
nobody said anything about a layer of water. and 32 degrees is where the phase change occurs. nobody said anything about 32 degree ice either. 25 degree ice will work just fine for training purposes.Nobody can drive on 32 degree ice. Basic physics. Coefficient of friction for ice with a layer of water on it is close enough to zero.
My 2011 Expedition did it when placed in 2nd. I believe it did, I had zero problems like the idiots around me. I did live for several years in South Dakota and have lots of experience with ice and snow....maybe it didn't?I know back in the day Fords auto trans would take off in second if selected, how were you able to take off in second now, or was it a manual?

25 degree ice on the roadway will still be black ice due to cars driving on it.nobody said anything about a layer of water. and 32 degrees is where the phase change occurs. nobody said anything about 32 degree ice either. 25 degree ice will work just fine for training purposes.
like @DoubleDuty I've lived up north, I've driven up north (maine, illinois, maryland). I've driven on black ice (more like slipped) that was covered by snow in blizzards as well as uncovered. ice is ice, slick as hell. the point was that you've got people who have NEVER driven on ANY ice and therefore have no knowledge of what the hell can happen when you hit that patch.25 degree ice on the roadway will still be black ice due to cars driving on it.
Up north when it has been 15 degrees for a week and there is snow on top of the ice? Sure you can drive on that.
for some areas, you have to have Snow tires (tri-peak symbol on tire, iirc). All season "winter tires" won't cut it.Don't people in the northern states also use appropriate tires for the weather.
My Charger starts in 2nd gear if you select Eco mode. The factory convertor is pretty loose too, makes it easy to take off on slick roads.I know back in the day Fords auto trans would take off in second if selected, how were you able to take off in second now, or was it a manual?
