Ford Gives F-150 a sport mode borrowed from the Mustang - SlashGear
To make the truck perform even better Ford has announced that it has added a new Sport mode to the truck. Sport mode is available with any engine option in the F-150 range and operates in 2WD, 4WD automatic, and 4WD high settings. Ford says that the feature was developed on the Mustang but since engineers often worked with the Mustang and the new F-150 back to back, the Sport mode feature was ported to the truck. Sport mode reduces the need to step on the throttle to keep the engine in the peak torque mode giving faster acceleration with less pedal travel. Ford says that the sport mode adds a feel to the truck similar to what drivers would feel with aftermarket modifications. The big benefit is that the warranty stays in place with Ford's sport mode.
