On a slightly related note...I always drive in Sport mode. The truck is more peppy and shifts the way I like it...when I step on the gas, it goes. I don't have to wait for it to rev up before downshifting. I get over 20mpg on highway trips...70+mph, w the A/C on. Its no Prius, but its better than many other SUVs. I'll pay for the extra 3mpg that I may get by driving in Sand mode to enjoy driving my vehicle.
Anyway, long story short I when I had my
Cruise Control Problem fixed last week they upgraded some SW that dramatically changed how the truck shifted. I don't know if my profile was just reset or the new SW changed things, but now Sport mode is MUCH peppier...a little too sensitive, actually, but I'm getting used to it.
Now please resume your previously scheduled
hypermiler discussion....
