In sport mode, I've noticed a big difference in steering effort which is just a feel. However, I've also noticed less wheelspin than in normal mode. Which I find a huge positive.
I won't be able to get to it for a couple of weeks but I've got a camping trip coming up but hopefully it'll take you out of Tow mode when the 7pin is unplugged.
Whether you accelerate from 0 to 60 rapidly, or slowly, you use the same amount of electricity.
But Ford has built in limits to how fast we can go, and how long the extremely high current flowing through the HVB contactors can run for xx seconds, heat build up is a thing, they've tuned these limiting factors for the highest use scenarios like sport and tow modes.
*As long as you avoid accelerating at the exact same speed as gravity while utilizing or generating zero electricity. That mode usually results in harming the truck.
I don't follow MME's so my recollection of what enthusiasts have said in the past is foggy at best, but it seemed to revolve around reducing the stress on in the HVBJB aka contactors.
Right. That only happens on the GTs.
This is exactly true within reason of negligible things like increased heat and friction that comes with higher torque on bearings and gears. Where people grossly misunderstand the less efficient experience in sport mode is that they drive faster on average and we all know speed = wind resistance and friction from wind resistance is a non-linear killer.
