Does anyone want ECO mode

[yourbudjim]

pretty simple question, does anyone want ECO mode. If we can get rid of them would allow something like Baja in all models

if you vote yes you want ECO mode I'm curious why

I use ECO as my primary driving mode because the first couple of shifts are less aggressive, which helps keep my wife from getting motion sick.

I use Eco mode often; only reason is shift points in local traffic.

I like having the option. I can get 21.5 mpg on my commute if I engage start/stop, eco mode and drive the speed limit. With the cost of gas in my state, that is good! Conversely, I want nothing to do with it off road and fun driving. It would be nice if folks that don't use it could permanently disable it and also Raptor owners would not have to activate R mode every time they start the vehicle.

I haven't gotten my BL yet, but my normal practice right now is for long trips where there's little going on except keeping the vehicle on the road, I set Eco mode to help eek out whatever extra fuel economy I can get. It's not exciting or particularly helpful for me on short trips or when actually off-road, but every extra mile helps keep the cost of travel that much lower.

Besides: You can use FORScan to enable all the modes.

I want it but when I use it, I don’t see much of a difference.

I use Eco at a 100:1 ratio to Sport. Sport was a good choice to leave off Badlands, I don't notice any benefit.

On the Freeway, Eco will do nothing for you. It primarily affects your shift points. Once you are in your top gear, it's not doing anything.

It will also give worse gas mileage through the mountain passes since the Bronco will get better gas mileage in lower gears (using less boost)

I don't really want Eco or Normal. All the boost, all the time!

I pretty much stay in sport mode and average 16-16.5 mpg. Last week I drove to Tennessee and back in straight eco mode and averaged 19.3 mpg. I certainly see where it serves a purpose at times.

But can’t forscan enable all GOAT modes?
I like eco for my normal driving. I tend to drive the Bronco easy. I second the other post I saw about playing the game of keeping the MPG as high as I can. The Wildtrak has sport and baja. I have only used slippery for my trip home with the truck and messed around with sport once or twice. Fooled around with sport after installing a new Flowmaster American Thunder axle back yesterday. I’ll save sport for off road, it is not practical for regular driving. One day when I feel forscanish, I will ad the rock crawl mode just because I can.
