I chatted with someone at Ford today who confirmed FX4 drive modes are:
Normal
Sport
Mud/Rut
Sand
Tow/Haul
The issue stems from dealers and Ford themselves having a document that says drive modes are one thing, but all their marketing material says something entirely different. That is where...
I know that was a possibility with the Focus RS, as well as setting the default drive mode. I just did a live chat with Ford and was told this about the FX4 package:
If this is the case, I'm pretty frustrated. There has been conflicting data since day one between the multiple sources and the official order guide SINCE JUNE.
I originally didn't opt for the FX4 package due it not having the Sport mode, but the added it to my build because the order guides...

I would recommend checking out Yakima...

On that note, I get much more enjoyment making a vehicle do things it was never really intended to do than make a vehicle do something its very good at. If I was at Mazda Laguna Seca WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and I...
Wait a minute here, are you the legendary DSM tuner David Buschur? If so, fuck. yes.
Excited to see what you come up with for the trailer and anything you develop for the Maverick! What tent you running up top?
