I'm about a month into owning this 2025 XLT with the 2.3, and one of my first impressions was "dang, Sport mode sure makes the throttle way more responsive!" but I also wasn't wild about hanging in gears longer before shifting. So spend a little time on the interwebs and learn that lots of people feel the same way, and there are products out there to address my specific gripe. I decided to give Roar Pedal a whirl.
Installation took all of about 47 seconds (because I didn't feel the little tab on the back of the plug right away--otherwise it would've been quicker).
Here's what seems weird... I've spent three days driving around with the Roar Pedal on Sport 5, and it's been amazing. Snappier throttle response but otherwise drives just like it did before. But with three days' worth of stop-and-go, running around town kind of driving, my trip odometer screen says my MPG has gone up by 2.9 MPG.
I was a little concerned that this might cost me fuel economy, similar to driving with a little more of a lead foot, but apparently it's having the opposite effect.
Maybe that's by design and how it's supposed to work. Maybe the atmospheric conditions aligned perfectly with Mercury in retrograde. IDK, but I'm not mad about it.
