Changing to 2H in sport mode

[Snowdogyyz]

Just enabled Sport mode recently. Noticed it switches to 4A when engaged. I switch it to 2H for use. Any issues at all with this? All I can say is HOLY COW does it make a difference! In both performance and MPG!

You’re fine in 2 hi. Ford has the wheel modes limited between goat modes. For sport I can do 4a or 2h. Baja is 4h or 2h, no auto option in Baja.

Why not leave it in 4A? I have put 115k miles on my F150 in 4a without issue. Also have had my Bronco in 4a since picking it up 6k miles ago.

I like Sport mode. Feels so much more aggressive and responsive to throttle. Corners better, likely a result of 4A vs 2WD. Very enjoyable drive IMO. Should be a way to lock it in Sport mode all the time.

I’ll try it in 4A next. Thanks for the great info!

It's safe to assume that if Ford allows that selection it's OK to run it. The combinations they don't like are locked out.

I don't bother with sport mode, I barely felt any difference. I'm surprised how many people say it's so much better. I presume most of it's biggest fans have the 10 speed.

Think it’s 93 octane dependent for the extra horse.

My Baja mode allows 2h= sport mode with front camera enabled

I’ve had my left knee rebuilt twice back in the 90’s. A clutch in the 4th largest city in America is not an option I wanted to deal with. I already have enough pain from the arthritis. And since the Wildtrak only comes in auto it wasn’t a decision I had to make

Sport mode is my favorite.

Yeah, my wife's F-150 also gets much better MPG in sport mode. By holding gears longer it ends up using less boost, and staying out of heavy boost is the key to MPG in these things.

Hence my comment about it being liked by auto owners. If you're already shifting yourself sport doesn't do as much.

Those of us with Sport Mode that don’t have 4A are limited to 2H. So, it’s definitely safe.

It’s a blast with 93 and the 7MT. I also have sprint booster set to Sport 8 and Panda set to Sport 4, Whipple filter, Magnaflow Overland Catback. I’m super happy with this setup for everyday driving. I just switch it to sport mode when getting on the highway or have a nice open road to let it rip.

I’d be interested to get behind a 10 speed again. I know I didn’t enjoy it - but, to compare power at this point.

Can't you select Baja Goat Mode, then manually select 2 Hi? Try it.

Nope. Can’t select 2 high in Baja. Not sure if that can be adjusted with Forscan. Says 2w not available in current mode or something along those lines.
