Been reading about the benefits of Sport mode.. problem is I can't get it to stay in sport mode once I park and restart.

But yesterday I couldn't even find sport mode.
Stopped the truck and when I went to choose all I had was normal mode.

Known glitch. Reboot Sync or restart vehicle.

Each time you restart you need to tell it to stay in Sport Mode.

Yes after 2 restarts the 4 different modes appeared.

What update will allow it to stay / default to sport mode so I don't have to do it 5 times a day in my travels?

I've had that happen, it went away after a reboot.
I keep hearing there is/will be an update that enables long term selection, but I'm not aware of it yet.

They had to drop the feature because of off road mode staying enabled with no traction control. It was a regulatory recall.

My Mach-E retains the driving mode last used. The Lightning used to. Then it was realized that Off-Road mode had the above issue. So, instead of programming it so that all modes stay locked EXCEPT Off-Road mode, it always reverts back unless you catch the prompt quick enough. Very annoying.
