So will a 2025 Lariat (not sport package) have the Sport mode in addition to Normal and Economy? The 2024 PDF says no but the online manual says yes. Can someone with a 2024 chime in?

The "Sport" Package is nothing but a sticker and painted wheels, so I would assume it has sport mode for the trans.

Yes. I have a 2024 Lariat FX4. It does have the sport mode along with all the others. I dont use it as the few times i did the gas mileage dropped dramatically.

As stated, sport mode exists on all lariats.

I tested sport mode on a 1600 mile highway trip. Going down I used normal mode (~800 miles), coming back I used sport mode (~800 miles). Generally kept cruise control at 79mph and then had bursts up to 90mph. Got the same MPG both ways.

Normal mode will try to put you in 10th gear at 45 MPH, sport mode works a little more logically. Much better for highway driving so you can easily get the power you need.
