And yes your Lariat has it. On my 2017 xlt with a console shifter there is a "T/S" button toward the bottom for it

I have a 2016 Lariat with Sport mode. I'm pretty sure the 2017 will have it too.

I believe sport mode was present on all of the 2015+ f150's. The 2018's introduced an eco mode and a snow/wet mode but sport isn't new.

Easy question: Does anyone have real data as to exactly what the "Eco" and "Snow/Wet" modes do? Is it primarily a change in throttle response? Softens shift points? Or does it actually change the stability control/traction control algorithms?

"The modes change the stability and traction control. The electronic throttle control. And transmission control to optimize the shifts depending on mode. Page 265 of the owners manual covers everything."

It does affect throttle response and breaking in snow, wet.

@Ricktwuhk ...but...but...I would have had to walk out to the garage and get the OM out of the glovebox. So much easier for a lazy bastard like me to just sit 'n' type.

FYI, I knew someone would say this. LOL
