[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1437144, member: 21926"] I feel somewhat vindicated! I detest normal mode in the Raptor, and all that it represents. Give me Sport mode as a default drive mode already! Not long after I first bought the truck I was on the interstate and wanting to pass some plodding minivan and so I did what I did in previous cars/trucks - I fed what I thought was plenty of throttle, but I didn’t floor it. Yeah... apparently Ford Engineering felt like 3/4 throttle at 50 mph meant, just feed in some boost and stay in 10th gear. Raptor is only my 2nd throttle by wire vehicle and the other is a ZX10r. “Eco” is not really a concern for the Kawasaki engineers for the 10r. Brace (or you’ll fall off), twist grip and be ready to shift fast. I’ve called ‘normal’ mode dangerous and I stand by that description. It’s lazy, unresponsive unless you’re flooring it. I understand, Ford wants to be able to sell the Raptor in all markets, even the disaffected, hipster-wannabe, millennial crowd who chafe at the prospect of manual labor and so they have to dumb down throttle for the peasantry. I realize the suggestion may go against some of the negative posts and possibly your position, but I was tuned on to the pedal commander by a fellow Jenny owner and it makes ‘normal’ mode a much more linear throttle.
