Since we don't know what any of the modes are actually doing, it seems premature to switch now. If it matters that much, I'd say to wait until Ford tells us what they do. If waiting means cancelling, it will be a decision to make at that point.... The more I read about sport mode 2.7 eco boost, many say sport mode is a must have option. ...
Am I the only one that thinks that sport mode is that big of a deal to cause them to change their trim level.
Sport mode affects the drive-by-wire throttle behavior as well, making the vehicle feel peppier and more responsive.Wouldn't a standard "sport" mode be meaningless on a manual?
2019 Camaro SS has 455hp. I roadtripped one 400 miles to buy my wife's MKX, got 25mpg average on the trip, and that included an extra 20 miles of hooning around and leaving tire smoke all over. Cylinder deactivation was seamless, I wouldn't have been able to tell if the gauge display didn't tell me it was a "V4." Track mode was incredible, the 10 speed telepathically knew what gear I wanted to be in, and the exhaust popped and crackled on decel. It was a blast.Reminds me of when I had a friend that but a new in 2019 Camaro SS with 425hp. Once he got on the interstate the cylinder deactivation would kick in and it went Into limp mode.
That would be cool if Badlands had them all....but the charts on Ford's website say 7, so I would bet that is the right number as of now. I'm not worried about losing the one mode. No one has given a single review of how this thing drives yet, so I'm not getting ahead of myself....and despite maybe hardly using it, I would still rather have rock crawl for that one day when I do need it.This article states the badlands and the first edition have all eight GOAT modes. I wonder how accurate it is. I keep seeing the bronco GOAT animation of going through the different modes and it looks like it may only holds 7 modes.

Same here. Push to start then push the little button on the shifter twice. It's muscle memory at this point. I was disappointed when I realized the Badlands didn't have the sport option as that would be the mode I use the most. The good thing is, I have until December to figure out models and optionsI start my truck and always turn on sport mode...
