You'll have to clarify Sport Mode with Advance 4x4 (4A Mode) or Sport Mode with part time 4x4.

Four-wheel drive auto (4A) is the default drive mode when Sport Mode is selected.​

​

Two-wheel drive high (2H) is the default drive mode when Sport Mode is selected.​

Since I'm always trying for good fuel economy, I won't be using whatever it is that Sport Mode is supposed to give you. I leave mine in Normal mode all the time, on road and off. It seems to work just fine for everything that I want my Bronco to do.

4A and Sport Mode engages rear locker below 25 mph, not something I want on the dry paved streets.

I have 4A in a Badlands where sport mode was unlocked with ForScan. Sport mode has never engaged my rear locker.

Where is the option for “it’s just marketing and therefore I really don’t care.”

I don't use sport mode much in my WT but sure is fun when I do!

I have a black diamond with 4A, it doesn't engage the locker at all in sport mode

For most of my driving, I just don’t need sport mode. But it’s fun when taking the kids around.

Frankly, eco or normal, especially with the Ford tune, is plenty punchy for getting around town. I don’t need to gun it at a light to get to dinner.

Umm, no it is not. Not at all. My 2.7L with the FPP tune rips my head off and I love it.

Switching to sport mode means driving the Focus RS. in all seriousness I drive everyday in normal and sometimes switch to sport. I just took the Bronco to tail of the dragon and it was a blast in sport mode! I switched it to 2H for all the turns. I drag raced the Bronco on dirt this summer and used baja mode.

I really enjoy the increased acceleration (especially here in Memphis where it is needed for a bunch of reasons), but I mostly use it when on the freeway for shorter trips to save on the MPG.

I haven't seen anything that the rear locker engages under 25 MPH, so interested to see what if anything is actual on this.

I like sport mode, but dislike that everytime I start my bronco it has to ask if i want to stay in sport and if I click yes it switches it back to 4a.

 

[HCGxKaLiBeR]

I used it when I'm doing some spirited drives.

But the toque steer after a corner is terrible. I'm all over the place.

Also, switching it back to 2H doesn't have that same feel. It appears the car squads to the rear when in 4A Sport mode during hard accretion . Not so much in 2H, it stays pretty much flat.

According to the animation it stops engaging the front axle after 35MPH. but I doubt it... since I can very much feel the toque steer and the power sending it to the front.

I don't do it very often afraid its gonna wear the clutch too fast.

I never even tried it. The Bronco is so quick to me in normal mode and delivers great MPG so never even thought about it.

I don't see a "because I don't like the color red" option...
