Sport Mode

[that408guy]

Who regularly uses sport mode? I'm getting to where I use it more and more cause the truck is so much more responsive.

I use sports mode 100% of the time. I have nothing to tow atm so cant speak on towing. I get 19-20 mpg on city driving and 22+ when making 30+ mile trips. Bay Area roads.

I normally let my engine warm up a bit before I put it in sport, and I have learned that the gearbox can be a bit weird when going uphill right after starting the truck when it has sat overnight. Once warmed up, I use sport mode more on surface roads than highways and interstates.

In the city, I tend to get around 10-11 MPG.

Ford performance tune fixed so much of this for me; this is exactly how it should have performed out of the factory. I'm pleased with regular drive mode. I'll only use tow mode when towing, and sport mode when I need to hold gears around mountain passes and such.

Much as I love it, I consistently get 2 to 3 mpg less using sport mode (without manual shifting).

Is it my imagination that the fake exhaust/engine "roar" is louder in sport mode?
