Drive it like you Stole it.

I'm still new to the Lobo world; I haven't even used sport mode once. I have however used Lobo mode often enough - is there actually some documented difference between the two?

Sport mode is a carryover from regular Maverick models. In my experience, it doesn't produce a noticeable amount of torque vectoring, if at all. The transmission shift logic is also far less aggressive than Lobo mode.

This is my experience also after driving for a year.

I prefer the shift logic of Sport.

I prefer the tighter steering & full time AWD of Lobo. The torque vectoring is definitely noticeable on twisty roads.

Lobo Mode maybe 1 or 2 mpg’s lower than Sport Mode. Every ride I make the choice depending on my mood. If I have a passenger (rarely) it will be Sport with automatic shifting

Documentation in the owners manual is minimal. Treat it like a “trade secret” and use AI, forums, YouTube vids, and personal experience to piece it together

Unlike the first rule of the “Fight Club”, the Lobo Club will blather on willingly.

The best mod I have found so far is swapping the wheels on my Lobo.
Went from the stock turbofan wheels and tires at 52.7 lbs per wheel/tire to 19 x 8 Fast Wheels Flow formed FC08 wheels and 41.1 lbs per Wheels/tire. The turning reponse and acceleration is very noticeably better. Couldn't believe I could shave 11.6 lbs per corner.
Don't mind the dirtiness of the truck.

From what ive read you don't want to run a full tank of E85. Run a blend of E85 and Premium. So states 93 Octane is available out of the pump. In my area we can only get 91. So 4 gallons of E85 and then top the tank off with premium and you get 93 octane. Also 4 Gallons of E85 at a $2.30 per gallon makes the fillup way cheaper.

Why don't you want to run a full tank o E85?
Just curious, I'd prefer no alcohol.

A little ethanol can make the Ecoboost run better, cooler combustion, more anti-knock! Do not know if I'd mess with mixing I just ues the highest octane listed with a 10%-15% mix out the pump.
