Ford debuts new traction control in 2011 Explorer




Ford Motor says its 2011 Ford Explorer will have a control system that lets drivers select how much traction they want based on road conditions.

Using a dial in the center of the console, drivers can select one of four modes: Normal roads, muddy or rutted roads, snowy roads or sand. The SUV then adjusts the engine, transmission, brakes, wheel rotation speed and other systems.
