Normal or Sport mode around town

[relak]

I suspected that in an anonymous poll it would be much closer than the vocal "mash the accelerator in sport mode" folks would think. I may be proven wrong but in very early voting it is nearly 50-50. Curious your thoughts on why. More MPG conscious in stop and go driving (nowhere to go fast)? Potential long term engine wear?? I have no idea, just posed the question.

I guess the only time I don’t use sport mode is on long trips when the family is in the truck. They don’t enjoy the constant howling of the engine as much as I do. Otherwise, it’s balls out 24/7 365 F. U. C. K. worrying about MPG and all that noise.

Sport mode with shocks in Baja is my R button setting and used all day every day

I'm a 60/40 split between normal and sport. Exception to the rule is, of course, slippery mode when there's snow / rain.

I drive in normal 95% of the time. When the time arises that I really want to drive like an *******, its 2wd baja mode

Goosetune with custom TCM or nothing.

I drive about 90% in normal, with the exhaust on quiet on top of that. I do sometimes put it into sport mode when I want to have a little fun or change things up a bit. But I have a GT350, which only gets driven in sport mode, as my other ride so if I want to go fast (or pretend to be fast), I drive that, not a huge truck. lol. One of the things I love about my Raptor is how comfortable and quiet it is, especially when compared to my 350 or our Wrangler. So I'm usually taking advantage of that.
