This is probably a dumb question but how would you tell the difference? After driving my buddy's new Ranger with the Pro XS 4 stroke. I was amazed at both the lack of any clunking or cable feel when shifting. Also the throttle response on the hot foot seemed to be instantaneous and no resistance felt. I asked him if he had digital or analog control, and he didn't know.

Thank you guys...
Serial Number tells the tale pretty clearly.
Some good info above, but since there are CMS models that ARE DTS engines, some of it didn't necessarily apply.

+1, with the exception that externally there are some differences relating to the Conventional Mid, Verado Mid, HD Racing Mid/Trim, etc.
