Mine is the same I have to hold the button down for full off. I don't run like that because it allows to much wheel spin for my needs since I mostly just rock crawl my XK. Once and a while when the sand is thick at the beach I hold the button down for some more wheel spin but thats about it.
When off road I run mine with ESP full-off (requires holding down the button on my '06 whether in 4Hi or 4Lo). I don't like the ABS coming on when on washboard or cornering through the bumps. It also seems to work better on the dunes when turned off.

As soon as I engage low range the ESP is fully off in mine. QDII 2007.

It must be something they started in late production 07+.. I will start trying both ways and see what the difference is. My guess is in sticky situations like mud/sand the ESP off will perform better but wondering if rock crawling scenarios are better with ESP partially on...?

I've always ran at Rausch Creek with it fully off and before the tcase issues never had a problem making it down any trail or hill climb.
