Sport mode wakes up the 2.7

[My_2021_Bronco]

There's a hole routine to drive it!

1. Start
2. Auto off button
3 .traction control off
4. 3 clicks to the right on the goat mode
5. Ok on steering wheel

I've never had to do so much to drive something!

13.2 m.p.g all daylong

Does the 2.7 Wild Trak have sport mode?
Lou

Negative... Just Baja LOL, you need OBX or lower to get that sweet, sweet sport mode.

Someone didn’t do their homework. WildTrak most definitely has Sport Mode.

I stand corrected.

yes, the Wildtrack I test drove had it, sales guy told me to make sure to turn it on. I made sure to NOT turn it on, since it's not there in my BL and I didn't want to know what I'll be missing. BL is plenty spiffy in normal, so - since I can't compare - I'm plenty happy.
But if there's a Forscan hack eventually to exchange Eco for Sport mode, I'll be in line to do so
So odd they don't offer all on the top trims.

Im not sure it will be the same

I don't know the rpm ranges for Sport Mode, but on my FE with 2H Baja Mode, the rpms are high for the shift points...somewhere in the 5k range. I tried it once, and if you are not gunning it constantly, it is a very rough and uncomfortable mode for normal steady paced driving on streets.

Baja is more aggressive than Sport mode, as long as you can get it to work without lockers in 2H than it would have more aggressive shift points and always be in the power band.

Ah, I wouldn't think 6 pound difference in tire weight is going to set off fireworks.

Don't forget they are thinner too! Less rolling resistance. Boom!

Rolling resistance - basics
People usually don't understand rolling resistance well, but everyone seems to have an idea of what it means. It has to do with your wheels when you're driving. Generally, you want the least rolling resistance possibleand you can reduce it if you buy low rolling resistance tires. Some of you might even know that rolling resistance is a type of friction-force that slows you down.

All of that is correct, but we are here to help you go deeper. Did you know that rolling resistance doesn't depend on your tire size, but it does depend on the weight of your car/bike/train? The best way to explain it is to learn the physics behind it.

Not going to make a difference. Fizzled!

Damn it!

Well once I take those doors and roof off, I'll be smokin'!

 

[Mr. Nice]

Damn it!

I was surprised also. I will give you a small nod to rotational mass and aero dynamics. But very small.
Pop!

@D2dhanover add this to the list of requests for OTA update. Sport mode on FE and Badlands. Forscan possible???

 

[fr8ycat]

I drive it faster than my 5.0 mustang

Nice to see the Mustang guys got smart, and ordered something with better performance.

 

[mpeugeot]

This is such awesome news!!!! If I can turn Baja Mode on the OBX!!! Awesome!!!

 

[Raptortothis]

I hated the sport mode in my raptor. Jerky and clunky shifts and held rpm too much. Then I put a Cobb tune on it! More power in Normal mode than sport ever had without the transmission bs. The bronco shifts much smoother and It would be cool if my badlands had it (maybe). As soon as a tune is available I can load into the AP3 and problem solved

 

[GRAYFOX-SVT]

Absolutely ,that 2.7 in sport mode when the turbos kick in is unbelievable. Thought i was in my Mustang there for a minute.

I'm getting an Outer Banks so I'll have the sport mode but I don't think it will compare much to the Cobra lol
