4 wheel drive or sport mode?

[singh3204]

which do you think is faster? 4H, or sport mode? sport mode is fast once you get going but there is no traction when first taking off. with 4H you can take off like a rocket from the get go.

You can select sport mode in 2H/4H/4A. You just need to select the drive mode first then the transfer case adjustment.

when i go to 4H first and then select sport mode it moves me to two wheel drive automatically

Right. That's why I said select the drive mode first (in this case sport mode) THEN switch to 4H or 4A

Sport mode / 4A would be ideal for a quick launch. 4H is not intended for dry pavement.

I like to think of dirt as pavement for the raptor... Close enough. Haha

4A while already in Sport mode is going to diminish your wheelspin. The truck’s transfer case can divert torque through the wet multi-plate clutch arrangement while in 4A that won’t damage the truck on pavement.

As others have said, don’t use 4H on pavement. Also frankly I wouldn’t use 4A for extended periods of time on dry pavement either.

There's no harm to using 4A. It is made for on road use in all conditions. If you are going to be using sport mode seriously, it is the setting of choice.

Only downside to running 4A all the time is decreased fuel economy and a bit more wear on components.

You can always select Baja mode then shift to 2wd.

Will it stay in Baja mode if you do that tho? Doesn’t it lock the diff(s) in Baja mode & you can’t lock only rear diff in 2wd it seems
