ordered it with that option kicked it out of system 1st time
In that case this shows that it is possible to have a 4 Auto transfer case without the 4A default in Sport mode. Now I just need to figure out how to make that happen for my Platinum.

So do you have a 21 or a 22? Was definitely not an option when I originally ordered my 22 XLT. Because I looked for it and asked dealer and they could not find it at all. Was it in some kind of package or a standalone option?

No, unless there's some super top secret FORSCAN config we haven't found yet.

Yes. If your truck has 4 wd auto (lariat and above), sport mode puts it in 4A. If you don’t have 4A (xlts and below), sport mode stays in 2wd.

You can put it in sport mode and then hit the 2wd button and it will stay in sport mode and shift back 2wd like the xlts etc.

I find both ways are fun in different situations. If you want to get a little loose, put it in sport, hit 2H and turn off traction control. If you want acceleration, put it in sport leave 4A and debate on Traction control or not.

It's NORMAL operation to switch to 4A when you put it in Sport and the XLT does not have 4A! Seriously dude.....stop your misinformation!
