The posts (aka speculation) in Ford Transit forums say that the torque is split 50/50 front/rear in Mud/Ruts Mode. Also, the traction control is off per the dash display. This is counterintuitive but the results speak for themselves. (Traction control is achieved by braking each corner individually as required via an electric actuator on each brake. If active for a long period, the brake(s) can overheat.)

In hindsight I should have made a run up the driveway using each mode so I could compare. On the other hand, Mud/Ruts worked so well that I am a happy camper.
