If I intended to use the so called Sport Mode as a Sport Mode, then I leave it in 4A. It's definitely an advantage for aggressive driving. It's physics. I even LOVE it for that.
But I don't often use "Sport" mode for sport. Instead I usually view it for what it really actually is..... A transmission shifting strategy that treats the 10r80 as a legitimate 10-speed. My only regret with that particular factory strategy is that Ford thinks I would never just cruise along at 45mph in that mode, so it nixes EV from the equation.
That is very regrettable. If Sport Mode still had EV on the table, I would be in Sport mode 90% of the time.
