For fun, sporty driving with improved performance, handling, and response. You’ll experience increased accelerator pedal response as the transmission holds on the lower gears longer, helping your vehicle accelerate faster. Also, the exhaust sound is louder and more aggressive.
For driving on snow or ice-covered roads or on loose terrain. This will lower throttle response and optimize shifting. This helps provide better handling and control.
For high-performance track driving. Throttle response is increased, and the transmission holds on the lower gears longer for faster acceleration and more aggressive downshifting. Traction and stability control intervention is reduced and tuned specifically for track usage. Use this mode for on-road courses, autocross style events, and on-road closed-circuit track driving.
For high-performance driving. It allows for aggressive shifting and higher engine speeds, optimizing performance at maximum throttle. Accelerator pedal response is increased, and active exhaust is set to the loudest, most powerful tone. Use this mode for driving on closed-circuit drag strips where optimal straight-line performance is a must.
Allows you to create your own drive mode experience. You can create up to six custom modes. Choose a profile number. Then choose a drive mode as a starting point. Then you can mix and match the settings, including suspension, steering, and exhaust, to tailor your experience. Any questions? Go to ford.com/support.
