Default Sport mode

When you start the truck it automatically puts the transmission in normal mode, is there any option I am missing that allows for the truck to start in sport mode? I prefer the sport mode but I have to change it every time its driven. I know its a very minor issue, just wondering if it can be made as the primary selection instead of normal.
Thanks

No. Unless you buy a 3rd party device.

Get a tune and your new normal mode will curb stomp the current sport mode for by the numbers performance (while still driving in such a way that normal people driving it easy wouldn't even know it's different than stock normal)...and your new sport mode will be a lightning mcqueen impersonation. With 93 octane of course (should do that anyway if you like performance)

I would like to get a tune, but being a new owner and reading the zillion+ posts about will it void the factory warranty, I have for the time being overly cautious about getting a tune. I know there are widely varying opinions on this.

I'm right there with ya. I like Sport mode as well, but you get use to the cluncky std mode. I did buy an AutoStop Eliminator that plugs into the OBDii port, I couldn't stand that stop every stop light crap.
