2015 Ford F-150: A Good Sport - Automoblog.net (blog)
The 2015 Ford F-150 received a complete re-design with a plethora of changes – none as arguably prominent as the aluminum body. The 2015 Ford F-150 and Mustang were developed on similar schedules. Sport Mode changes shift frequency, allowing F-150 to hold lower gears longer. Straight line acceleration is quicker and quite noticeable when doing two back to back runs – one in normal and the other in sport mode. Sport Mode vividly brings out the Ford F-150’s power band. “Sport Mode keeps the engine operating in the desired power and torque ranges, or what we like to call the ‘sweet’ spot. “It makes Mustang come alive and we feel it does the same thing in F-150. We decided we could adapt the Sport Mode capabilities of the six-speed automatic transmission from Mustang to F-150 to enhance the overall driving experience for truck... Tow/Haul Mode also enhances the F-150’s driving dynamics. Like Sport Mode, the shift points are changed through Tow/Haul Mode to better accommodate the driver when hitched to a trailer. Sport mode is standard with every Ford F-150 engine and can be activated in two-wheel drive, four-wheel-drive automatic, and four-wheel-drive high settings. Source: www.automoblog.net
