What is the difference?

[SuperK401]

I have a 24 xlt 4K fx4 eco boost. I do not have sport mode. I have the L button. I live in an area where the country roads are hilly and curvy. 30-45 mile a mile an hour . There are times I love using the L button. I also enjoy having the lower gears. what is the actual difference between sport mode and the L button?

I have a Tremor with Sport and that is dependent on RPM for up-shifting. The L option by the manual holds the shifting to low gears for tight turns and hilly terrain. At least that is how I understand the manuals description.

On my '24 Lariat Tremor, I found using the L button pretty much locked the trans in 3rd gear, as indicated on my ScanGauge3.

Still learning on our 2026 Tremor but it has changed far as modes. No L, rather the button in the shift dial is M for manual shifting with the paddle shifters. Sport mode will hold a gear till a higher RPM range before shifting up along with increasing the throttle tip in.

Kent, @SuperK401,
You can add Sport Mode to your 2024 via FORScan.
Maybe we'll get a reply

It's in that other thread for adding sport mode...super easy. Just need to use easy mode and enable the drive modes that show as disabled.

@crbalch
I was wondering. What would the link be for the "other" thread?
