Changing to 2H in sport mode

Does 7sp have sport mode? I don’t see it on my Badlands. Only had it 3 days so maybe missing something?

Badlands doesn't have sport mode. You can use Forscan to unlock it.

That's what I did

For the poster on the 1st page that said he doesn't use sport mode cause he can't tell the difference... there must be something wrong with your Bronco or you are using cheap gas. I can even feel it give a little "oomph" when selecting it on the fly while keeping my foot steady on the gas. TBH, Sport Mode is so good in my Badlands that I decided not to get the Ford Performance Chip (I had my eye on a tune before I picked up our Bronco cause I assumed it would be sluggish with 35s.).

I could tell an immediate difference when I engaged it. Night and day. Mines an automatic so not sure if that shows a bigger difference, but it put a huge smile on my face when it kicked in.

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

Sport mode with the manual is a night and day difference for me, but I run 91 octane. For me it makes up for the increased tire size and added weight of a winch and then some. It's the best

that’s because it adjusts the pedal calibration to be more sensitive and less linear.

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.

I don’t feel much difference either, but I put in one of those sprint boosters to cut down the throttle lag. I figured that’s why.

I find sport mode annoying in my daily commute makes it sound like I’m driving a stick and don’t know when to shift gears. It’s also very jerky. If I had more than a mile to travel with no stop signs or lights I might like it better.

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

I would like to learn more about this mystical setting - did you do anything (forscan or other) to get it to work like that?

I'd love to have Baja mode in 2H with the front camera on.

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.

2Hi works fine in Baja mode for me. Baja mode is much more aggressive than sport mode in the 2.7 automatic.

It's night and day regardless of the fuel, it changes the throttle mapping and improves the drivability once you are used to it. Initially, it may feel a bit twitchy, but after a while, normal mode feels flat instead.

that’s because it adjusts the pedal calibration to be more sensitive and less linear.

In actuality, it's more linear, it's that boosted engines at part throttle behave less linear and normal mode is attempting to emulate a normally aspirated throttle response.

2.3 manual sport mode with 93 is awesome,i have the base squatch i didnt think it would have sport mode

On my 22 badlands it is thankfully not mystical. Rotate the goat mode to Baja… then change to 2H… boom
