I’m confused in this one. How fast does an off road capable vehicle need to be? Are people street racing Broncos now? Plenty of faster vehicles for less money.
Preach! I think it's nuts the amount of money being handed over for a "fast" Braptor (I know it's got other things, but primarily it's "fast"). I could buy a Mustang GT AND a Bronco Basesquatch for less than a Braptor.

Thanks, so 9th and 10th gear lock out in sport mode seems to be exclusive to 3.73 ratio.
I don't know about the 3.73, but seems like a reasonable hypothesis.

I use sport mode when I'm driving around mountain roads, I like the earlier down shift and the transmission holding some rpms for going up hills. I also tend to get better mileage with less boost and works the vehicle less.

I do drive in manual mode but Ford sport mode is a big selling point. My F150 sport mode makes manual shifting pointless in the mountains. I just stating there is programming differences, I like how Big Bend w/3.73 shifts.
best thing about sport mode is it turns off the stupid auto stop/start function with out have to remember to pus the button.

Don't you have to push a button to put it in Sport mode every time you start it?

Yes, but it's right on the wheel where your hands are already... Yes, we've gotten that lazy.
