Yes the brake thing is there already. I honestly have no idea how that works.

do I need to go to the dealer to enable those features you showed???

 

[jmr061]

As stated earlier dealer tools are needed to do this so unless u know someone with the software and interface needed yes u would need to go to the dealer.

Here's what it looks like if anybody is curious.

And in normal mode if you want to see the power transfer difference.

I wondered that and where to read about it on the same movies/posts found here: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=1968.msg33547#msg33547

Gets very confusing to an old man like me

They are movies linked from Photobucket... may take a minute to appear and a while to buffer... not quite as fast there for movies... here's direct links from the Photobucket account:
Normal mode: http://s16.photobucket.com/user/auditrance/media/E8C5881D-3E7C-47B8-804F-DF0CCE24D28B.mp4.html
Sand Mode: http://s16.photobucket.com/user/auditrance/media/05B999E4-D791-498E-9331-15CE60C6DA57.mp4.html

Sorry gents if it didn't work. Photobucket is a pain sometimes. Thanks BiGMaC for organizing it better. It's a menu option on the X sport. Shows where the power is being transferred. If you notice normal mode more power to the front. Sand mode little more equal front and rear. Just giving a visual for those who try to activate the feature.

And a great idea too.... Well illustrated in the vids!
Yea, I use a youtube for vids now (different compression loads quicker) after I had the same experience you did.
There's a thread here where folks were convinced they got better holeshots with sand mode... this shows likely why.

Way to go!

Probably have to start using YouTube then. I was playing with it a little today and actually got the rear bars full before the front ones. Not sure how. I also noticed in sand mode taking a turn and getting on it seemed to provoke more power from the front wheels like it was trying to pull itself around the corner.

Had mine programmed along with Hours meter.  Not that it does much, but fun to mash the throttle and see how the front/rear ratio works!  45 minutes and $52 later ....

Can I get my SCT tuner to tune this in, while providing me a tune?

 

[jmr061]

The tuners I have spoken to have no clue what as built data is so I'll say no.

BigMac, have you found a dealer in phoenix to enable this?

 

[goblues38]

Since I have a 2014 Ex Sport and it has this feature.  I can find no real world application where its important.

All it does is tell us what we already know for our Taurus.  The platform is a FWD platform that send a little power to the back.

On the Ex Sport, yes, more power goes to the rear in different drive modes, but again...anyone with half a brain expects it.

In my 2013 SHO.  I can think of not a single time where I wish I had that gauge.

Same is said to any upgrade.
