Same here. Assuming you mean smoother shifting, at least compared to Eco and Normal. I would prefer to have a way to change drive mode to "Sport" and stay in 2WD, but I guess "exercising" the 4WD selector is actually good for the transfer case and front diff, front hubs.I haven’t seen a post in this topic. I tried the sport mode on my Limited and after it switched to 4WD I switched it back to 2WD. I found the truck much more responsive and a smoother ride. Has anyone else tried this?
Right. Normal and Eco should be buttery smooth. Sometimes Eco is smooth, sometimes it gets tangled up in its algorithms and clunks out a shift that makes no sense … why slam the clutches … ever?very unpolished at times in what Ford calls "Normal" mode.
I think Sport attempts to charge the battery and have the battery ready to offer maximum torque once the engine is at maximum torque for the given RPM at wide open throttle.My only complaint about Sport Mode is that I wish Ford hadn't nixed EV altogether. It would be just fine for EV to still be available for cruise control driving
Same here. I turn the drive mode switch three clicks counter-clockwise to go into Eco or click "ok" to stay in Eco mode. When I get into city traffic, I pick a safe moment to switch to Sport and then tap the 2H to get back into two wheel drive. On dirt, this is great, too … and lock in the rear locker … great traction, predictable handling.What I find myself doing is I switch to Sport when I am in the kind of traffic
Does your truck have the onboard scales and the electric adjustable shock option?I have a 2WD Platinum and I felt that the handling firmed up when I switched from Eco to Sport. I don't see anything in the owners manual to explain it, but seat-of-the-pants it seems to reduce the body roll.
Wait! You mean the Lightening tech is available as an option on the 2021 Powerboost?Does your truck have the onboard scales and the electric adjustable shock option?
No, just standard in that regard. I'm going to try to get a better feel for the handling in the next few days to convince myself there's a difference. I do have the Tow Package, not Max Tow, and that might have something to do with the handling which I feel is too bouncy. But if I'm right then the bounciness might just be an Eco thing, that seems to be where I feel it the most.Does your truck have the onboard scales and the electric adjustable shock option?
Well unfortunately, if your truck doesn’t have the high end shock package, then the shocks do not change their rebound/bump rates.No, just standard in that regard.
