QUESTION
How does tuning impact drive modes?
ANSWER
Drive mode behavior depends on the vehicle platform and the tuning option selected.
Our Standard Tunes provide a single calibration optimized for your selected fuel and vehicle configuration across all drive modes.
The Terrain Management System will still function as intended, according to it's stock "personality."
Even after tuning, Normal and Eco Modes will remain the most relaxed, while Sport and Baja remain the most responsive.
For vehicles equipped with DMS™ (Drive Mode Specific) Tuning, individual drive modes can be calibrated differently. This allows features such as separate power levels, throttle response, transmission behavior, boost targets, and other tuning characteristics to be assigned to different drive modes.
TIPS
Most vehicles will have Standard Tunes, as DMS™ (Drive Mode Specific) Calibrations only supported for 2020-2024 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator 3.0L Platforms.
We are actively working on DMS™ support for other platforms, however it is not currently available, and we do not have an ETA to share at this time.
If and when this becomes available, we plan to offer an upgrade path for existing customers with Standard Tunes.
