No Eco Mode on 4X4 models

[Bad Bart Man]

I recently picked up a new '23 Maverick 4X4 at a dealer. The selector for drive modes does not include "Eco" or "Sport". Since I will never go off roading can I have the truck reprogramed for "Eco" and "Sport" modes instead of "Mud & Ruts" and "sand"? I am a very conservative driver.

I assume you mean a FX4? Yes, with ForScan you can add/remove drive modes. Look around on here for the instructions. Searching "Forscan" will help.

You sure it's 4x4 and not part time AWD?

What model do you have?

I have AWD

I'm confused by your post. You stated 4x4 in your post, but yes reprogram it.

If you are a conservative or normal driver using "Normal" mode will work just fine. No need for "Eco" or "Sport" in my opinion.

I've obtained 32 MPG with my FX4 using "Normal" mode. That's with A/C on and some hills in the mix. I don't miss not having Eco or Sport modes.

Very interesting

Ditto to this.

Believe me, if you are a conservative driver, you will want to stay away from Sport mode. Sucker will push your head back.

I have found that my '23 XLT FX4 gets just as good mpg in normal mode as my previous '22 AWD XL did in eco mode. I was going to add eco (and maybe sport) mode, but I don't think I need to. I have the plug & play default mode module, but as long as I continue to get this kind of mpg, I see no real reason to install it.

Yes you can econ drive in any selected drive mode some just slightly better than others.
