BRIGHTON, MI – There’s a new sport mode in the 2015 F-150. Ford engineers have combined the sport
mode from the new Mustang into the lightweight F-150 for the ultimate driving
experience.
Since the Mustang and F-150 were developed around the same
time they were also test-driven on the same trips. After the F-150 was driven
engineers realized how well the reduced weight design accelerated, so engineers
put their heads together and the sport mode was added.
To activate the sport mode, drivers simply press the
tow/haul button twice and an amber “S” will appear in the bottom-right of the
tachometer. Sport mode works by lowering the frequency of gearshifts and
keeping the truck in its “sweet spot” of the powerband. The transmission holds lower gears for a longer period of
time to make driving more responsive and fun.
When the F-150 is in sport mode
the driver doesn’t have to push the pedal down as far to reach accelerate. Over
the experience gives truck drivers much more control and gives the truck more
liveliness. Another feature of the F-150's transmission is the capability to match engine rpm while downshifting in slowing to go around a corner. This technology came right from the Mustang as well.
The new sport mode in
the 2015 F-150 is standard now and you can activate it in any drive. You can see all of our 2015 Ford F-150 inventory online, or stop by and check 'em out in the flesh!
