Hi all,

I looked through my owner's manual and didn't see anything about it. I must be a half tard today, I dunno. My car is a 2020 gt pp1 auto, so surely it has drag mode. Someone please tell me what blindingly obvious stuff I'm missing, step by step please.

If you have the 4 toggle switches to the right side of your push start button, it'll be the one on the far right. Just click it up and the drive modes will display in the message center of your instrument cluster. There should be 5 drive modes, drag mode should be the forth selection.

There are no toggle switches, it's not a premium coupe.

Then you don't have drag mode.

As they said, you don’t have the drive modes then. Doesn’t have to be a premium to have that feature.

I thought pp1 and auto were enough to get drag mode. What other option is needed to get drag mode?

It has to be a 301a package with the 8" sync display. 300a packages with the 3" screen doesn't get them.

Nothing that can’t be added should you choose to do so. Just did it on mine. Very simple for the new ones as it’s plug and play for the sync 3 setup and toggles. Then just need forscan to enable the drive modes. Plenty of info out there on it.

Well damn, I thought I did my due diligence. I don't remember ever reading once that the car needed to come with anything other than pp1 and automagic. I could have just gotten one with the auto and been fine. I guess I'll see if a tune can emulate drag mode or not. To be honest, I would like the bigger display, but I doubt it's cheap, even if you can find a used one.

Yes, a tune will mimic the drag mode feature. Just because it has a performance pack a10 does not mean it automatically has the 301a and up features. Ford actually put a lot of base a10 300a cars (no drag mode) w/ pp1’s on dealer lots. Fortunately for me my tune/tuner showed up a day before I picked up the car. lol.

I have a 2016 GT and it's the base manual clutch model. Pretty sure I don't have drag mode. Am I missing anything?
