[QUOTE="tooloud10, post: 1869973, member: 45741"] 100% accurate. Personally, the Raptor's Sport mode feels like someone described a sport mode to a different person that had to implement it, and what they came up with was to just hold gears longer and keep the turbos spooled. It feels totally unnatural to me, kills the gas mileage, and drives me nuts because it won't shift. I realize it's not a sports car but the Sport mode tuning just feels like it's there for the same reason as the lazy paddle shifters--they wanted a mode to make it feel 'r a c e y', so they asked the same team at Ford that decided it was a great idea to use the speakers to pipe in fake engine noise. The Sport mode in a BMW or Porsche--whether traditional or DCT--makes the transmission feel like it's reading your damn mind the whole time. Ford could do better, they just knew they didn't have to invest much time in the feature because most truck buyers wouldn't notice it was half-baked. [/QUOTE]
