Everything You Need to Know About Ford Bronco GOAT Modes

Bronco lovers have waited a long to time for this off-road SUV to return! And with it’s highly anticipated return, Ford included a dial that allows the driver to move between “GOAT” modes. GOAT stands for Goes Over Any type of Terrain.

As the driver turns the dial to navigate between modes, onboard computers adjust the ride automatically: disconnecting the front sway bar, disengaging or engaging traction control, locking differentials, and more.

The G.O.A.T Modes available on the 2024 Ford Bronco are:

1. Normal – Default mode. Great for day-to-day driving and tailored for a balance of excitement, comfort and convenience.
2. ECO – Fuel saver mode! Helps deliver maximum fuel efficiency and helps to increase driving range.
3. Sport – Engage for an extra kick with improved performance, handling, and response. Accelerate faster and enjoy sportier steering.
4. Slippery – For maneuvering in rain, snow, and slushy conditions. Lowers throttle response and optimizes shifting.
5. Sand/Snow – Specifically for driving through soft, dry sand or deep snow. Sand/Snow Mode engages the four-wheel drive lock.
6. Baja – For higher speeds on loose terrain, like sand. Optimizes suspension and other systems for improved performance.
7. Mud/Ruts – For off-roading in the mud and on uneven surfaces. Mud/Ruts Mode engages the four-wheel drive lock.
8. Rock Crawl – For off-roading in steep, rocky conditions. Engages four-wheel drive lock and the rear differential lock feature. Also activates the front trail camera.
9. Tow/Haul – For improved transmission operation when towing a trailer or a heavy load. This mode moves upshifts to higher engine speeds to reduce the frequency of transmission shifting.
10. Off-Road – Optimizes accelerator pedal response, traction and stability controls for driving through mixed off-road conditions like sand, gravel, and/or mud.

Not all Bronco trim levels come with the same GOAT modes – in fact, not one comes with all ten. If you are serious about taking your Ford on challenging trails, through desert terrain, or over extremely rugged landscape, consider the trim level that will best suite your needs. Save and refer back to the chart below when you’re ready to purchase your Ford Bronco.
