Slippery is the gentlest of any mode.
It nets the highest MPG in most cases.
I use it year-round almost exclusively.

Lil bit confused…I read in manual that “AWD“ on all times, and driver cannot deactivate. Probably you mean for those vehicles with 4WD?I have noticed Slippery Mode will be quicker to send power to all four wheels if you have AWD whereas Normal tends to only favor FWD once up to speed.
You may want to disconnect the negative battery lead before you go to cut the parasitic draw all these trucks seem to have.Biggest test my truck has to pass is going to be leaving an airport after 2 weeks of snow storms and no block heater in northern canada.
Stock pirellis? My maverick and every other one I've seen come with continental's from the factory .I'll be in that mode most all winter long! Snowing now, but I haven't driven my Maverick in snow yet. Still have the stock Pirellis on. I have four new Yoko Geolandars that need to be installed and aligned, but arranging to get it done is a bit challenging in this one dog town. I'll be looking for that weather window and getting those installed ASAP, then I'll feel better about old man winter.
They put a cheapo set on the FX4 models. At least they did on mine.Stock pirellis? My maverick and every other one I've seen come with continental's from the factory .

great succinct summery. that has also been my experience as well with my '23 hybridI found that slippery mode is like eco mode, but for the brake pedal -- you have to press it further to get any action. Eco dulls the accelerator and slippery dulls the brakes. Eco regens the most with feet off pedals.
