Don't mention that to Ford or that warranty will be null and void. Willfully driving in a manner that is likely to cause damage to the driveshaft, trans, etc. is generally frowned upon.
total BS
i drive it in 4A because i prefer the way the vehicle handles, therefore is safer. my roads are curvy as hell, steep hills, loose gravel all over. if for any reason i have to evade an accident with another vehicle, or a deer, at any speed, wet or dry, most especially higher speeds in this beast, 4A will keep my vehicle under optimal control PERIOD if i start to lose any traction. this alone makes me keep it in 4. i would like to see them try to deny a warranty claim on a drivetrain part of the vehicle because i use it “all the time.” that’s simply my choice. that’s why i bought this vehicle. 4WD is safer under any circumstance - whether constant or passive. manual states 4A can be used for ANY conditions with zero limitation. that means it’s my choice & if something stops working mechanically, that’s their problem. whether it wears parts out is irrelevant & that’s what the warranty is for.
so you basically are telling me when i put it in sport mode every day, which automatically switches to 4A, i’m risking warranty refusal? yeah right . here’s this cool drive mode - but if you use it every day it voids your warranty because you’re “willfully driving in a manner that will likely cause damage...”. maybe that mode switches to 4A because it actually handles better & has better traction - not to mention the driveline is designed to be used that way?
