Sport Mode Saturday

[DarkMossJustin]

Oh boy! Am I going to SPORT MODE SATURDAY. Just recently received and installed the Pedal Commander You can definitely tell the difference from the get GO!

@Socal949: Awesome. I'll probably order the Pedal Commander for myself later this year after a few more prioritized purchases.

Still got those new OEM cross bars?

Also, anyone know if any more Tork exhausts were ever produced?

Gotta throw props to my “Dune to the Moon” buddy, but around here, deep in the Heart, it’s “Grey is the Way!”

@DarkMossJustin. For some reason I was thinking you already had the Pedal Commander. I guess you are just crazy with out it.I can just imagine when you actually get it and get to feel the difference you’re going to put any excuse to make it Saturday every single day.

As for the OEM cross bars. Yes I do! You know they are waiting for you

The Pedal Commander really is a great device. Had one on a previous F150...made a YUUGE difference!

Those who have had it before. Know exactly what I am talking about. I can definitely tell from the Get Go! Not saying it’s going to make the Telly any faster. But it does help feel safer when I have to speed up and pass someone

Exactly. Doesn't make the vehicle any faster but it sure FEELS like it is! Service advisor swore my F150 was tuned with 50+ extra lb-ft of torque...was dumbfounded when I told him what it was.

That light gray Nappa leather does look pretty good contrasted with the black interior trim pieces and the Dark Moss + chrome exterior.

Gray was actually my second choice if I couldn't get Dune to the Moon.

Luckily, one year ago to the day, on August 14th, 2020, I put down a $1000 deposit with Hilltop Ford/Kia to reserve my spot on the waiting list to backorder my Dark Moss Dune Brown Telly.

During the 3.5 month wait, the dealership offered me two Nightfall Editions that customers passed on, one in Dark Moss (hard pass, DM goes best with chrome accents).

I'm glad I waited those months to get to the top of the list to get what I wanted.

Sometime at the end of October or Early November, the sales manager called me to tell me I was finally at the top of the list and the next allocation was reserved for my order, and so my eventual Dark Moss + Dune to the Moon SX P/T finally went into KFOS.

When I saw my window sticker, at first I was disappointed that I couldn't get factory-installed Illuminated Scuff Plates or any of the accessories I ordered, but at least the most important specs went into the build:

AWD Telluride
SX
P/T
Dark Moss
Classic Chrome Accents (no Nightfall)
Dune Brown

Dang! That almost sounded like you were ready to go on that Telly pursuit again... The addiction that keeps giving....

I am currently missing using Sport Mode, especially on Saturdays. I got a new job with a longer commute. Decided to do a comparison of the different modes for a full tank of gas each. I was curious about true gas mileage difference and the handling of the Telly. I have done Smart, Eco, and part way through Comfort. After I finish Comfort and Sport Mode, I will share my thoughts. By next Saturday I will be back in Sport Mode.

I can't say I used sport mode on the Telly today but I did get the chance to ride in a Tesla Model S Plaid and that's as sport mode as it gets.
MOTHER OF GOD!!!

There was definitely some adjustment of blood flow in our bodies!

Do they pull that hard?

Do they pull that hard?

I had my head up against the headrest the first time but I think I was a little too relaxed. It felt like the blood rushed out of my face and I got a little tunnel vision. After I was a little more prepared, it wasn't as bad but after three 0-90s, we'd all had enough.

One guy's phone measured 2.1 and 2.2 G's on back to back runs. Don't know how accurate the accelerometer in his phone was. It was pretty wicked at any rate.
