You mean traction control, I have a button near my gear stick to turn it of. If you don't have a button I doubt you I'll have it

When you press and hold it, you will get confirmation that it is of

I don't think you can just get it fitted, try speaking to a ford garage they may be able to do it but will be super expensive and not worth it. I have mine on and it only kicks in on corners in the wet... How wet is down under lol
