I noticed on the FX4 models, you can downshift from "D" to "S". Is the "S" only on the FX4 ? I haven't been able to find a pic of the shifter without the Trail Mode button on the 4WD selector (which would indicate an FX4 model).
The "S" has two modes. Just move to "S" and it is in Sport mode, which changes the shift points, and if you use the +/- and it becomes select shift where you control the shifting. You can treat it like a manual.
Whoa. I popped the Ranger into "S" and it felt peppy indeed! Revs higher and shifts faster. This mode is perfect for the mountain twisties or towing. So far I'm amazed by this 2.3 EcoBoost (coupled to the 10-speed auto), it's quiet, strong, and economical. What's not to like? There is a description of Sport mode on page 148 of the online Ranger manual, also check out "Progressive Range Selection" on page 149. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/F...Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_10_2018.pdf#page148 Note: Sport Mode will inactivate "Auto Stop-Start".
So, I hope we can assume that the "Tow Mode" button will come with the Tow package? even though it is not specifically listed
The 10spd should have Normal, Tow and Sport driving modes. The Sport is more agressive on the shift points (going up and down) and changes the tip in on the throttle for better response (at least it does on the F150).
