That's part of its beauty.

A pedal commander or whatever they're called would probably be the ideal solution for you, as all sport mode really does is change transmission shift points and make the throttle move more with less pedal travel (same things as putting the throttle cable on a closer hole with a carb to make the throttle open with less pedal). You get no additional power from sport or a pedal thing, but at least with the pedal thing you won't change your shift points. Baja takes sport mode and cranks it up to 11 on holding gears...I haven't found a use for this outside of running in the dunes, it's a bit much even for high speed desert roads.
There are points to be made for more aggressive shift patterns when using a turbo to keep them spooled up a little better, this equates to potentially better lap times, but it's still not increasing power output.

I use Sport all the time, so wish it could be 'locked' in.

Y’all make me thankful that my 7MT doesn’t have 4A. I run sport mode regularly in my area the steering response on the windy roads is a benefit alone. The extra pep + sprint booster on sport 8 + Panda + Whipple Filter + Magnaflow Overland Catback and with the 4.46 gearing I couldn’t be happier. Do I wish it would just default to Sport Mode, yeah. I find I get better mileage too. Averaging 18.5 with plenty of off-roading.
I like eco mode. If you think the bronco is a dog in eco, try a BMW eco, complete neutering, a non-prompting memory would be nice though.

Like you say leave it in the Last setting. On the Raptor, sport does not put it in 4A.

This ^ I like to blast around in sport mode occasionally but when at a steady speed don't care for it holding the rpms

I have a manual two door and sport mode should be the way it runs all the time. I wish it would just stay in that mode.

That's putting it mildly. Eco is a soul sucking experience, that sucks every ounce of joy that otherwise comes with a Bronco. <-- I might have overstated that a touch.
Otherwise, I love sport Mode but got tired of switching to 2H every time I started my Bronco. I've pretty much decided Sport is my tow mode for my Cargo Trailer Conversion.
That’s what the gear toggle is for? I drive in sport mode (Forscanned) most of the time- if I don’t like the rpm’s, I manually shift up. Easy peasy?

Haha very true. I don't think i've ever thrown it into M since I have owned it yet lol
Doesn’t even have to be in manual mode. Use the toggle in D.
Yep. I also use it a lot on downhills so I'm not riding the brakes all the way. Couple of clicks down and you have some engine braking, and it'll hold the gear until it flattens out and you get back on the gas...

Might have been a patch thing. My truck used to stay in Eco mode as standard.... Then something changed about 6 months into ownership and now it defaults to normal. Sport mode, I've put it in Sport mode exactly 3 times... First time to try it when I first purchased the truck, once when 4x4 ing and the other day after a year and a bit. Keep debating the Ford Performance upgrade since I really never use even sport mode. >shrugs<
