Eco mode for cold mornings

[Aonarch]

You are overthinking things. Just leave it in Normal.

Why not just give it a few minutes to warm up at idle before you take off ?
Then just drive it a little easy for the first few miles in normal mode. They really do warm up pretty fast, just not instantly.
It's a method that has worked well for me over the years with a lot of vehicles

I do usually wait for the idle rpm to drop, which is about the same amount of time it takes carsync to load up. And then take it easy until I see the oil temp come up, which is usually just a few miles down the road

Overthinking. Leave it in normal.

If I wanted less boost, I would use Sport, due the shift points.

Assuming I was cursed with an automatic transmission of course. Since I row my own gears, I haven't touched the dial in over a year.

From Fords web site:

The Modes include*:

• Eco – For efficient driving. This mode helps deliver maximum fuel efficiency and helps to increase driving range.
• Sport – For sporty driving with improved performance handling and response. This mode increases accelerator pedal response and provides a sportier steering feel. The powertrain system holds onto lower gears longer, helping the vehicle accelerate faster.
• Normal – For everyday driving. This mode is a balance of excitement, comfort and convenience. This is the default mode after each ignition cycle.
• Mud/Ruts (available) – For off-road driving. This mode enhances vehicle performance to traverse muddy, rutted or uneven terrains. Mud/ruts mode engages the four-wheel drive lock.
• Slippery – For less than ideal road conditions, such as snow or ice-covered roads. This mode can be used for crossing terrain where a firm surface is covered with loose, wet or slippery material. Slippery mode lowers throttle response and optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
• Sand/Snow – Sand mode is for off-road driving on soft, dry sand or deep snow. Sand mode engages the four-wheel drive lock.
• Rock Crawl (available) – For optimum rock-climbing ability. Rock crawl mode engages the four-wheel drive lock and the rear differential lock feature. It also activates the front trail camera at slow speeds.
• Baja (available)** – On Bronco Badlands,™ Wildtrak™ and First Edition models, it optimizes suspension and other systems for improved performance on loose terrain and sand. (Baja mode is not available on Bronco Sport).

*While all eight modes (up to seven in a series) are available on Bronco trims, with Sport featuring five of the seven — Sand, Slippery, Sport, Eco and Normal as standard — Ford Bronco Sport Badlands offers an additional two modes: Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl, bringing its total to seven G.O.A.T. Modes. **Baja mode replaces Sport mode on Bronco, bringing the total to seven G.O.A.T. Modes.

Probably just fans

I put it in "Slippery When Wet" mode today and she didn't appear. Must be faulty in my BD.

Maybe has something to do with the extra doors.
