Save y'all the trouble of waiting, skip to 5:30. It's a double tap on the traction control button.

GM guy here who is converting to Ford and develops class 8 trucks for a living. I assume AdvanceTrac to be Fords traction / stability control. I imagine “Sport Mode” in the stability system specifically allows for wheel spin and increased yaw rate (sideways sliding) before the system reduces engine power. It may also affect acceleration and deceleration limiters somehow, maybe due to stock tires or something else. I highly doubt whacking the Traction Control button is going to change transmission shift schedules or engine torque curves, or even throttle mapping. The AdvanceTrac is probably a somewhat stand-alone system that is on all drivetrain configurations, hence why it works on multiple GVWS / trims. Great videos man, based on a test drive and what I’ve watched from you I will be buying a 6.7 Super Duty some time in the future!

I have a 2020 STX 350 dually and I just checked and it has it!! I can’t wait to head to work in the morning and see what it does!!! Thank you!!!

There's a chart that shows this in the F250 owner's manual, page 229. Double press puts AdvanceTrack in sport mode which reduces the sensitivity of the traction control. Hold the button for 5 seconds and it will disable traction control. This does not change the transmission shifting or anything like that. On the F150 you can do the same thing with the AdvanceTrack, but the F150 also has a sport drive mode that changes the way the transmission shifts (and changes throttle sensitivity).

Hey, love your videos. Just tried on my 2019 xlt and it worked. Sport mode!!!

My 2020 F250 Lariat Diesel has the Sport Mode. I activated it as you've described. Thanks for sharing. I'll try it out tomorrow. After watching your video, I forgot that this truck has an eco mode. On the other hand, who wants that. lol I took delivery of mine in early March; awesome powerhouse truck.

I knew I found it by accident like 2 years ago and honestly I love it because it lets you get a little wag but not to much I have a Lariat and a King Ranch

Wow!!! I got it to work on my 2020 F-450 Limited!!! If you are using MyKey you have to get into the programming part and on the settings of traction control set it to user select. I did what you said to do on your video and it changes how the truck drives!!! The only changes I have on this truck is an S&B Air Intake and 5” Banks Exhaust Kit. Omg what a difference especially shifting and taking off!!! I love it and thanks for that tip!!! ❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It shifts on the fly. Compared to not having it on when I floor it....the truck has a 2-4 second delay on take off till it shifts. Going to talk to the Ford Techs tomorrow since I have to bring it in for a camera recall. Also bring up the regen info.

Awesome man! It worked for my 2019 XLT. Thank you!

my 2020 7.3 gasser has it too. Sweet! Thanks for the vid man!

My 2019 XLT f250 gas engine has it, never new about this feature until now, its more fun to drive on the back roads, Makes a huge performance difference even when towing my trailer. Great video

Acceleration, torque handling ,traction and braking Are ways to rate the performance of any vehicle. Any time you can increase or decrease traction you are changing the performance of the vehicle ​@CatRichardBojangles

What I’ve noticed a difference between the tow haul and the sport mode in my truck. Is when pulling my gooseneck taking same road same weight. In tow haul I was getting 9to10 mpg traveling 75 and it downshift up shift up and down the hills. In the sport mode I got 11to 13mpg rpms stayed at the same gears wasn’t shifting in and out.

Thanks bro got a 2017 f350 dually and now I’m on my way to next gig in SPORT MODE! 😎

I have a 2019 F250 STX FX4 6.2L V8 and it has it! Great find!

I went out to my 2020 F250 XL to see if I have the Sport Mode capability. I tried it this morning while driving to bible studies and it works. I have a 6.2L gas engine. Your video got my curiosity aroused and just had to see if Sport Mode existed and could be activated on my Super Duty. Yep, it does. Thanks for info 👍🏽🙂

I’ve known about Sport mode on F250’s for years, my 2017 had it and so does my 2020. I’ve hammered both trying to figure it out and I can’t tell a difference.

‘19 Lariat - works for me! Can’t wait to get some real drive time in!

2017 F250 6.7L Platinum - works! Thanks for the tip.

Just picked up my new 2021 F350 XLT from the dealer and tried it on the way home, works awesome.

HOLY CRAP! My 2017 F350 DRW has sport mode!!! LOL never knew! Thanks!

Tried this on my '19 F450 Platinum and it worked. Haven't had time to play with it yet to see what difference it makes, I had a load in the back.

My tremor has this too. My 2014 raptor has the feature but you press the button once instead of double press. It allows for some wheelspin but will save you if you go full mustang driver.

So if you hold the Advance Trac button down for 10 seconds it will turn off the Advance Trac and Stabila-Trac off, then you can put it in tow haul then it will get plum side ways. Especially if you have a 2017 F250 Lariat rolling on 35's putting 526hp and 1076lb ft of torque to the ground, Thanks, Tony McAdams

I’ve been a follower of your channel for some time. Just watched this video. Also, just verified my 2017 Lariat 6.7 - it has it.... game changer! However, I had to turn Adv Trac off, then off and then quickly double tap the asdv Trac for the Sport mode to appear.

Just tried it on my 2020 F350 Platinum. Works. Noticeable difference.

I’ve got a 2020 xlt and worked on mine!!! Thank You for that

Just checked my 2020 Lariat Sport. Sport Mode activated! I’m gonna try it out in the AM. 👍🏼🇺🇸

Hi there! first time seeing your channel. Just my .02, my 17 half-ton f150 has the driving modes on a right hand stalk on the column. But, similarly, my traction button has traction modes. My AdvancTrak sport mode provides cornering-while-speeding through curves. Here's another, on your pickup, from the "on" position, hold the traction button for 5 seconds and see what results flash on the screen. Thanks, later on.

Just tried my 20 KR 250 7.3 TREMOR,, she's got it. TKS 🇺🇸

My 18 lariat powerstroke has it😎👍thanks for the info!

Let me explain the difference in the modes: Traction control uses ABS to keep your wheels from spinning when you are pushing the gas pedal when tires are losing their grip on the road. AdvanceTrac is made up of Traction control and Electronic Stability Control. ESC helps prevent sideways sliding and skidding. ESC adjusts brake pressure and engine control. AdvanceTrac Sport Mode allows you to have a setting that allows more rear-end sliding before it kicks in. It's more lenient than regular AdvanceTrac.

I HAVE A 2017 F350 KING RANCH AND I DO HAVE IT , NEVER NEW THIS TILL NOW. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT TO SEE IF THERE IS A DIFERANCE . I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON THIS. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

Nice find man!

Okay, so my 2019 F450 has sport.mode. here's my thoughts on it. First, it's really cool. It's very "zippy" for such a beast of a truck. As I recall, it seemed to.unlock some zippy-ness in my 2017 F350 SRW as well. My feeling is that it relaxes some if the torque management that Ford has programmed into the computer to help protect the drivetrain. Does anyone else agree with this?

Great video

I have 2017 f250 platinum. Gonna give it a try on way to work tomorrow. Thanks.

Wow, 2017 has some life to it now

All 2017+ super dutys and 2015+ f150s pickup have this. Double press the traction control button. All it does is change the parameters for the advance trac. You still can't slide the truck sideways, but it gives you more leeway for spinning the tires. I "found" this when trying donuts with my 2016 f150 in the snow. If you want the have better mileage. Use the engine brake all the time it locks the TC more often. If you want to go faster off the line press and hold the traction control for 5 seconds. That defeats all parameters except rolling and extreme sideways movement(prolonged drifting). The advance trac has no bearing on transmission fuction

Took a little to learn how fast to push button, but it works on a 2018 F250 6.2 xl 2wd.

It worked on my 2021 STX, NICE POWER

I have a 2019 f350 6.7. It also has sport mode. I was closely checking it out to try and figure out the difference if any. What I found so far was the turbo would spool up faster and higher. I also noticed that while coasting the turbo would drop down to 0 .9psi instead of 0.5psi. So it seems to stay spooled up a bit higher. I have a Derringer so I can read the actual psi from the turbo. I'm going to keep playing with it to see if I can find anything else.

2020 and your check engine light is on?

Apparently the sport mode advance track isn't the same as sport mode/tow haul. The advance track just let's the tires let loose a little easier versus SM/TH changes your shift points. Just my experience anyways with.my 17 f150

I tried it in my 2018 XLT and it did not have the sport mode. But thanks for the video. New subscriber.

Great video The reason it didn't work on some of your friends trucks was because not all superdutys come with Sport Mode. I didn't have it on my f350 but I have it on my f250 I guess you don't know till you try it.

This is def a thing 20 F250 7.3 V8 - I ran it with Reg Traction on and w/ Sport Mode from a stop 0-40mph it def shifted diff. felt like a extra shift in there in Reg Traction Mode and felt it slow a bit with the extra shift. Yeah Sport Mode!!

My 2019 F250 4X4 6.2L XLT has this. Info on this is provided on pages 226 and 229 in my owner's manual. All that happens is you are configuring the AdvanceTrac Systems identical to what the truck does automatically when placed in 4X4 Low. In other words, you are disabling all three of the AdvanceTrac Systems while in 2 High.

I have a 2017 F 250 with a 6.2 I tried it and it works in. XLT

Saw the video, have a 2019 SD Power stroke Lariat with xtras. I use it solely for hauling. However, I tried this and it works. It seemed crazy/nasty once the turbos kicked in. Not sure about hauling a load, but it did seem to haul ass quite well. Doubt I will use the feature much unless I have a Duramax or Ram perched on my bumper! 😁

Probably allows more wheel slip/spin also.

Sport mode allows for more "spirited driving" hold it down and advance track turns off.

Gets the wheels spinning too

I found this out last month. This is what it says on google. "AdvanceTrac Sport Mode, activated by double-tapping the traction control button, *only* affects the traction control. It lowers the thresholds a bit... you can have a little fun, but it won't let you do anything too stupid". I found out that if you press the button once and wait half a second then hit it again it activates it. I did it to quickly and it just does trac control off.

My 2019 f250 xlt gas has it, definitely changes it up.

happy to say my 2018 XLT has sport mode!!! WEEEEEEEE

2017 XL has it. Hold down until advancetrac turns off the double tap the button right away

It worked on my ‘17 Lariat F250!

Max power in Sport mode plus sand and snow mode together is one way to burn the rear tires off 😂

Its in the owners manual. There is a chart of all the things that button does.

Add the UV window film to your cab, will greatly reduce the heat!
