I <3 sport mode

[foo.c]

I only have about 400 miles on mine, but my first thought as I was leaving the dealership was what a **** this thing was.

Sport mode. Kicks ass.

Does sport mode just change the steering feeling?

Does sport mode just change the steering feeling?

no. it changes pretty much everything. shift points, shift firmness, shift speed, power delivery etc. like i said, its like driving a different truck.

More than just steering, yes.

Makes normal mode behave much like (Raptor) sport mode. No need to change modes on the wheel every time you get in the truck.

Pedal Commander installed along with Sport Mode is how I plan to drive the thing!

Yeah, about that. Let me just say up front, I am not complaining, but sport mode on both Raptor and pedal commander is not exactly neighborhood friendly. Definitely fun but think of this combination like a constant play of Sammy Hagar’s “I can’t drive 55”.

It’s like this - ok, I’m making a turn, let me ease into the throttle.
meanwhile, your Raptor is thinking -

Ok we’re taking off and, oh what’s this? you want boost? OK, I will give you BOOST.

It is very, very responsive. and addictive.

Sport mode on the pedal commander and normal drive mode will be plenty. NJSP is using city +1 in normal mode and likes it.

You will not give 2 ****s about what the exhaust sounds like because you will be moving too quickly to be concerned with silly stuff like that. and honestly, under boost it sounds pretty good.
