Tired of setting drive mode every single time I drive

[RickLightning]

I use off road mode occasionally so it's a nice reminder before I go somewhere I don't want the diff locked.

I tow also and if I use tow mode to deliver a load I am then prompted so I go back to normal.

I've even gone in and out of sport mode while driving. It's a total of 2 presses on and 2 presses off at the most.

Leaving it locked in sport mode is dangerous. The power might be too much for the next driver.

Dangerous?

"next driver"??? "dangerous"??? I'm not sure I follow any of that - having 'more' regeneration would have not more 'dangerous' implications than NOT having more regen.... crazy how you must be thinking about that.

I LOVE SPORT mode, and want to leave it in SPORT mode all the time, in MY truck, which I drive... crazy... it should be easy, but Ford doesn't want to make it that way...

I wonder if this project is adaptable to the lightning. Same issue but the bronco has a physical button.

Dangerous

next driver"??? "dangerous

It's annoying at best and dangerous at worst

The op called it dangerous at worst so I came back with another "dangerous" scenario.

Regardless, it's a non issue imo, it's basic to select a mode or hit ok.

That's because it's proven that taking your eyes off the road is actually dangerous.

It is not normal to expect a driver to be quick to press a button every time they start their truck... or peck away at multiple buttons/menus spread across a massive touch screen just to return a vehicle to the regen mode it was on when they last drove it.

There is absolutely nothing rational about this. And it's quite frankly bizarre that anyone would find it to be perfectly acceptable.
