I just got a 2021 Lariat Screw 4x4 with the 5.0. When I switch drive modes from normal to sport mode, it also switches to 4WD auto. Anyone else having this issue? Or is this intentional?

Thanks.

 

it is intentional.

 

Thanks. Why is the default mode for Sport Mode 4wd?

 

more grip on the road!!

 

 

Lariat and up have 4WD auto, which means it is normally RWD until it detects a need for 4WD. It is not forced 4WD H or L. It is also not the same as AWD.

This is how I remember it in my head at least, maybe if someone else can confirm that would be great.

 

I noticed this too. You can push the 2L button and it will change.
