Who has experience they would like to share ? (The Mav I have on order does NOT have fx4 for this reason. However, I have a shot - if I’m willing to pay ADM - at one with fx4. )
Help!

I have played with it, nice to have but short of track days or high speed pursuits, normal mode is just fine, has plenty of power on demand to pass when needed. Maybe someone else has more to offer on it but if I were shopping for a Maverick this time I wouldn't hold out just for sport mode. YMMV.
i love the FX4 larger display screen more than the other stuff the package has (tow hooks, wheel upgrade, fan/radiator upgrade) and yes there's plenty of pep-power. Yes the guys with forscan can also change into sport mode or other optional modes too. **as for sport mode/fast enough I think that car and driver was testing an FX4 getting 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds if you research here or elsewhere again it’s all personal preferences

From what I’ve read, it has a noticeable negative impact on MPG.
I have the FX4 so I can’t relay personal results. The truck is pretty peppy with FX4 already.

Modes not available from factory have been enabled via Forscan on the Bronco. I would think it could be done on the Maverick too.

Personally…unless something is wrong with my Maverick (outside of getting my low pressure fuel lines attached tighter like previous post for noise) I don’t like sport mode! It is super noisy, it’s not good to use at all in small town driving conditions, revs way too high for my liking, and slowing down, it revs high and it drags like it’s in low or first gear too long…. Honestly unless racing, or hot dogging it… normal mode with 4K tow 3.81 rear pulls good and hard! This truck can move ass!! I love seeing folks do a double take. I agree…. I wish I had the fx4 for the screen on instrument panel… but it’s tit for tat w/4K tow package with mine.. I get eco/sport, I get 4K tow, I get upgraded radiator/oil-coolers, rear gear 3.81, the skid plate is just a poly carbonate, and I don’t personally want the Perrelli tires…. Trust me I had a hard time deciding… nothing in stock at or below msrp so I got what I got and I’m happy!!
Sand mode=sport mode.....prove me wrong.
It is 100% quicker in Sport Mode, but you will see a drop in MPG. I am normally around 26.2mpg and I switched to Sport Mode, and I was at 24.8 at the end of the day. My FX4 order will not have Sport Mode, and I wanted to “feel it out”.

I owned a Lariat with the 4k and now a XLT with 4k and have no issues with the smaller screen, in fact I prefer it (less fluff to look at) but sure I am a minority. I rarely use the sport mode just like the other modes and will guess most of use normal mode 99% of the time. Having said that I bought the 4k for the 1%.
OP this truck has plenty of power and thrives at 70+ mph. They have everything set up so you don't spike power and wreck the trans. I wouldn't describe it as "slam you back in your seat" power so much as "OMG how did it get to 95 so fast" power. Passing on highways is very quick.
Mine has 4k and fx4 so no sport mode but the higher ratio diff. I don't see the need for a sport mode.
