2026 2 Dr Badlands Sport Mode

[BuckBronco]

Hi y'all. It's been a minute since I've posted here. Life hasn't been too kind over the past year or so and I had to get rid of my 2023 4Dr Badlands. I picked up a 2 Dr Badlands a month or so ago and yesterday for the first time I went through the GOAT modes. I was surprised to find that it had Sport Mode in addition to all the other modes such as Baja and Rock Crawl. I bought the vehicle new from the dealer with 6 miles on it. Is this normal for the 2026 models, or just the 2 Dr models? I can't seem to find out the info online. TIA.

The one I bought a month ago has it. 2026 2d Badlands. Just changes throttle response as far as I can tell. I love mine so far.

Stick shift it changes the throttle response and is supposed to make the steering stiffer, but I can't feel it.

Auto, it does the above, and changes the shift points so it downshifts more aggressively and holds gears longer. Which, because of how turbos work, actually gives you better gas mileage in town.

Thanks. I had two different Black Diamonds that had it and I thought it gave it some pep. When I bought the 23 Badlands it didn't have it and I was kind of bummed. I always thought the Badlands series didn't have Sport Mode and instead had Rock Crawl. I messed with it and you can tell the difference. It puts in 4A but you can put it in 2 HI and it still keeps the throttle settings. Also, this is Automatic...

Badlands doesn’t come with Sport mode unless you add it via Forscan

Can sport mode be added to the 2025 badlands?

Sorry if this is a noob question but is there a good tutorial on this somewhere? New owner here just learning about this stuff.

Thanks, I got it added last night. I couldn't find where to edit the individual values, I just had a list of what was in the module and the option to enable or disable each item. I enabled sport mode and it showed up in the goat moads after turning the key off and on again. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet though.
