What is sport mode?

[@madmike9398]

Thanks bro. I just got me a 2018 f150 lariat and was wondering how sport mode affected the drive.

[@dvdpz89]

Can I shift from drive mode to sport mode and back while still in motion?

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@@dvdpz89 yes you can! No issues will be caused

[@dvdpz89]

@@JimmyLeeTennessee just tried it today. Omg!! Didn’t think I could love this truck more. Owned it for over 2 years and it was my first time using sport mode. Amazing.

[@Marek-w9w]

If you leave it in sport mode just to cruise or go to work will it cause more unnecessary wear than on normal drive mode ????

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@@Marek-w9w yes, because the engine is working harder to hold higher RPM's.

[@Marek-w9w]

@JimmyLeeTennessee gotcha thanks nobody really makes it clear other than the typical well if ford didn't think it was a good idea they wouldn't put it in I'm not looking for that but to see how much wear it does just day to day for fun or work commute as opposed to normal or eco sides I don't see myself trying to actully race a pick up truck dosnt sound like a bright idea to me lol just to cruise with the lady riding shotgun

[@poppyneese1811]

Every video of Jimmys I’ve watched I’ve learned!

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

Thanks for watching! More videos to come, Had to take some time off due to work!

[@nathanielwells1928]

Will tow haul mode make my 2010 silverado faster ive hesr its like a sport mode

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

It is very much like sport mode

[@nathanielwells1928]

I'll try it out thanks 👍

[@JonBryan-ux9bv]

Late comment, I just got my 2017 5.0 v8, looks just like yours, scared to try a burnout genuinely just because I still owe 40k. But is sport mode on the column the best way to do a burnout? I heard you say it’ll be rougher on the engine and tranny. But the amount of torque that’s increased in sport mode I feel like would be crazy

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@JonBryan-ux9bv I would not recommend doing a burnout in sport mode, because it will not shift gears easily and may hold to redline.

[@JonBryan-ux9bv]

@@JimmyLeeTennessee I appreciate the feedback genuinely. I’ve checked online for a couple days and tomorrow was going to try it out lol, I’m definitely glad I didn’t, do you currently still own that truck? If so has there been any major issues? Thank you! I’m 25 and honestly my first big thing I’ve done financially and want to have fun but reasonable at the same time

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@JonBryan-ux9bv I appreciate you watching! Actually, I sold it in order to get an f250. It was a fantastic truck, never had any major issues out of it. Only reason I sold was for a much higher towing capacity.

[@JonBryan-ux9bv]

@@JimmyLeeTennessee thank you, take care and stay safe out there brother. It’s a crazy world 💪🤙

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@JonBryan-ux9bv you got that right! God Bless!

[@malmiller8109]

Thanks for the video

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!😅

[@HopeinAuburn]

Good video, thanks for not beating around the bush and wasting 10 minutes of my life 💩

[@3dprintingtoday]

In sport mode do I have to use the buttons to up and lower shift?

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

No you do not unless your have the shifter in the "m" position

[@3dprintingtoday]

@@JimmyLeeTennessee thanks for the response I was trying this out I’m 15 and have a car don’t ask why so I can get used to it but I tried it out and heard a noise passing 40

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@3dprintingtoday I cannot speak for all cars, but only for the f150. Some vehicles do use sport mode as manual mode, so do your research. Cheers!

[@arturorevuelta]

In the F350 the Sport mode and automatic engine brake will give better fuel economy. Just driving normal not aggressive

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

Wow that's insane, never heard of that one.

[@meanf1502]

What package do you have i have a 2015 xtr an I can't get my lights to shut off drl I like how you got the green on your dash how did you do that

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

Sorry for the late response, just seen your comment! What green lights? I was displaying the fuel mileage analysis in this video. You cycle through the fuel screens on the display and eventually wind up there. Also this truck is an FX4.

[@markkropf8295]

What if you would tow in sport mode?

[@relikvija]

You tow twice as fast

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

If would not be advantageous because of the extra strain on the drive train.... sorry for the late reply I was never notified for your comment!

Where’s the actual selector 😅😅

On the stick👍

[@thesistersroblox1164]

I love mine fully loaded

[@limesinkmafia2556]

You about to run out of gas lol

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

It's hard on these streets you know 😅

[@cane_corsolife9368]

Put some gas in that thang brotber lol

[@dedwin8930]

In sport mode when accelerate and then let up on throttle it acts like a manual trans. It just decelerates instead of shifting up. I have 2018 3.5 turbo with 10 speed. Thanks Is that normal?

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

Sorry for the late response, Yes it's totally normal! It's trying to provide some engine-braking to slow you down.

[@TunedFusion3.0]

@@JimmyLeeTennesseeik it’s 2 years later but it’s actually just keeping it in the powerband.

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

@@TunedFusion3.0 yes its both that is correct.

[@webman1956]

I just bought a 2014 F 150, I`m guessing it doesn`t have those modes or does it?

[@JimmyLeeTennessee]

It quite possibly could! Or atleast the tow-haul

[@webman1956]

@@JimmyLeeTennessee Yeah, the tow-haul button is located on the column and is activated by a button and it shows it`s on by an icon on the dash so it is not in a menu. I`m only getting about 15.5 mpg around town and just bought the truck and replaced the plugs and the gas mileage didn`t improve although it runs better. it`s got 87k miles on it.

[@WTF54591]

​@@webman1956 apparently they revised the Ecoboost in 2015 due to the gen 1 having a issue with carbon build up inside the engine and causes that lose in fuel economy and power I can't remember exactly what they changed but I know the build up on the first gens was because of the direct injection causing that carbon build up from oil blow by. Only way to rectify that is to have a shop clean the engines internals I happened to get a 2015 Ecoboost 3.5 and was told all this when buying my truck from a service tech at the dealership.

[@CodyMechanix]

Sport mode lets you use the whole 10hp.
