However, when we're driving up the mountain to come home (town is just above sea level, and home is at 2400'), I generally put it into tow mode. The road up the mountain is narrow, winding, and steep in parts. Normal mode is always one gear behind, and tow mode makes sure that it is in the gear you need coming out of a narrow, steep curve.

sport mode is pretty damn aggressive. I could see using tow haul or limiting the gears. I don't see a need, not lugging the engine cruising with very little load. soon as you press the gas it drops a few gears and accelerates.

it skips gears in upshifting, haven't noticed it downshifting unless you have to hit the brakes hard, you know when idiots blow past you doing 90 then slam on the brakes because they miss their turn.
I'm going to call the dealer, i am getting hard shifts in low gears now. I take off easy, it doesn't want to shift out of first until about 2800 then it shifts to 3 hard. then shifts the rest of the gears smooth at 1900. Might try to pull the battery and reset the learning.

Mine does the same going from first to third, particularly when the engine / trans are cold. Seems to be normal operation. My only particular gripe is when its really cold outside and you first take off in the morning, that 1 - 3 shift bogs the engine. The simple solution for me is to use Sport mode. That gets me second gear and no bog.

gotcha, ya with the 10 speed sport mode delays shifts to hold the rpm, shifts are much faster and firmer. I think that it doesn't skip gears either, ive only played around with it once or twice. When i get a few more miles on it ill check it out some more lol.

The trick is to drive 'normal' in sport mode.... When I feel like playing and blowing the soot out of the engine, when I stomp on it in sport mode and after it gets to about 60 or 70 in 3rd gear and I let off, it stays in 3rd gear for a long time before finally up shifting.
From what I'm reading, there is obviously operational differences between the 6 and 10 speed.

ok for the '17 at least:
double press in sport mode, stability and traction control are on but at "higher threshold targets".
press once traction control off.
press and hold for 5 seconds+ stability and traction control off
put it in 4L roll stability, stability control and traction control come off.
learn something new every day lol.
