Default Sport modes??

This is probably been beaten to death but when searching I didn't find a post that consolidated everything I'm looking for. I'd like to confirm that there are essentially two Sport modes on the new trucks, 1) via the traction control button on the dash between the two center a/c vents and 2) via the tranny Sport mode on the shifter. I think for the TC Sport mode you have the double tap the TC button till the dash cluster reads something like AdvanceTrac Sport Mode correct? Not that I'm trying to go nuts on the road but I do want to see what the driving experience is like with these various Sport modes activated. What is the 'sportiest' mode I can put the truck in?

Double tapping the transmission into Sport mode does wonders for how the truck drives. Throttle response, shift points, etc.

Double tapping the traction control button to put it into Sport mode just changes the limits to where the traction control and stability control step in.

The transmission setting is a much bigger change IMO and I like to use it with a single tap of the traction control button.

If you press and hold the traction control button for maybe 5-10 seconds, you can turn the intervention off for the most part.
