I've decided on Badlands trim but learned there is no "sport mode" available on that trim. I will be getting the 2.7 engine. Is not having sport mode a big deal? If it was available, how often would you use it?

I plan on wildtrak or outerbanks because of this... After having the ST, sport mode is a must have now. I could go without rock crawl or the sway bar disconnect IMO.I've decided on Badlands trim but learned there is no "sport mode" available on that trim. I will be getting the 2.7 engine.

I would love to have the Wildtrak due to the sport mode but I want the rubberized floors with drains and MGV seats. The Wildtrak doesn’t have either. I also want the high or lux package and signature lights so that eliminates Black Diamond. There’s pretty much no perfect trim for me but Badlands is the closest.I plan on wildtrak or outerbanks because of this... After having the ST, sport mode is a must have now.

I am leaning toward thinking it is a must have...I want a Badlands/Sas with high or lux...but may be forced into a Black Diamond/ Sas Mid just to get the Sport mode (and side benefit of a better looking grill). I don't want to drive a slug on the street if it doesn't have to be, and good shifts and throttle response are important. I am hoping I am missing something and that you can run it in Baja/2H and it's the same, or run it in manual mode and it changes the throttle response to Sport mode. We're going in blind though with no reviews.I've decided on Badlands trim but learned there is no "sport mode" available on that trim. I will be getting the 2.7 engine.

I’m gonna do the same thing with my hero switches on the Badlands driving down the interstate. ? To infinity and beyond.I am getting the aux switches... which will cost me only $195 on my Base Bronco. I will flip them in random configurations, for "sport mode".
Have it on my Raptor, use it often and love it . . . a 'must have' IMO, which is one of the main reasons I am going with the Wildtrak.I've decided on Badlands trim but learned there is no "sport mode" available on that trim.

Its funny you should say that, because there was a thread last week of people begging ford to get rid of normal mode and add back in sport. Saying eco mode counts for "normal"Umm, what? So people are switching trims just in order to get “Sport mode”?? ? it’s a Bronco, not a sports car. I have paid literally no attention to any of the GOAT modes. It might as well just have one mode, normal.
Test drove the f150 last week and first thing I did was try the sport mode. I felt the exact same thing you mention here!Just my 2 cents. Sport mode in my F150 is fun, on occasion, but makes "regular" driving jerky, with very aggressive throttle tip in and awkward shifting at partial throttle. The transmission is pretty adaptive to your style and it literally never feels out of gear or constantly upshifting like my prior 6sp/Coyote combo did sometimes. I use it on occasion, but it wouldn't be a feature that would make me move models.
