I love my new sport and really like the way sand mode shifts and feels. I would love to be able to order one with a 6-spd manual and a 3rd pedal though. Since I cannot do that and manual mode is pretty much useless, sand mode is the next best thing.

It says it is for off-road only, will any harm be done if driven on the road with it for extended periods?

by reading that thread, sounds like sand mode is more rear-biased, which is a good thing for those of us that like feeling the push while we accelerate.

But also says it won't shift up from 4th gear, obviously cause you wouldn't be going faster than 70 through sand (or at least i'd hope not LOL)
 






last time it snowed here, i tried all modes, I liked sand mode because i felt like i had better feel of the truck...
