Saw a video of someone running on sand with the traction control off that looked awesome. However, I understood that turning traction control off is different than taking stability control off as they are two separate systems. Does the lightning have both of these systems and both can be disabled?

Would probably make snow driving more fun :)

On older Fords, pressing the traction control button momentarily just disables traction control. Holding it for 5 seconds will disable ESC and traction control. The 5-second press appears to be what the OP did in the sand.

Um, Sorry, this is a stupid question, how do you turn Traction and stability control on and off? Where is the button? is it in the display, or a physical button? I'm a newbie...

On pages 31 and 32 of the 2022 users manual, they show you EXACTLY where the button is, depending on which screen you have.

Yes, see I told you it was stupid question.
Searching through the PDF there were possibly 60+ references to "Traction control", guess I didn't look at enough of them, Thank you very much, I appreciate the help...
