Transmission - sport mode, does it hold 3rd for too long

On my Raptor I find that the truck likes to hod 3rd for far too long when in sport mode. It then shifts to 4th and almost jumps to 5th immediately. It doesn't seem to be an issue when you hold your right foot down, but when driving more mildly it loves to hold on to 3rd for a long time, then shifts through all other gears normally.

Thoughts?

I've been experimenting with Sport, Eco and Normal for my work commute.

Sport kind of feels like Charlie Chaplin is shifting my gears. The rough and delayed "kick-down" leaves A LOT to be desired.

lol......

While it's my understanding the transmission is able to learn, I'm not sure who it's learning from. My initial issue with 3rd has seemed to gone away.
