9 Goat Modes? Tow Haul?

[Easy-v]

I was watching the Ford official playlist for the Bronco - specifically this vid and caught this

Seems to imply there is a Tow Haul mode....

Mentioned in the manual too

with 3500# tow limit with 350# TW a tow mode is pointless

Even just 3500# smart towing (and the tow mose) shuts off overdrive ratio(s) in the transmission.

And in an OBX Advanced with Lux it is accessed by simply pushing the center button of the goat control

And it will only shift into tow at slower speeds than I was today when I pushed the button. In other vehicles, like a Yukon, selecting tow mode Willamette vehicle somewhat more responsive since you are eliminating overdrive and most modern multi speed automatics have 2 or 3 overdrive ratios

It's on the Raptor

Tow/haul is raptor only goat mode. Unless someone figures out how to unlock it in Forscan but I don’t think it’s there on regular Bronco.

This is great! Forescan unlock is needed.

Are you sure as that’s not at all how it works in the trucks. It holds gears longer and does more engine braking and doesn’t skip shift but it doesn’t not lock out the overdrive gears. Overdrive gears in the 10-speed and 8,9,10. It will run in those gears as conditions warrant.

It seems like everything that should have been on the regular upper end Broncos is on the Raptor. Sigh.

I bet it downshifts better

Can you go into detail about this and show a picture of what the screen shows too

How so? I use the tow mode in my f150 when towing a 3300lb offroad trailer and it has a towing capacity of 10,700lbs. It holds gears longer and engine braking when towing through the rockies. Why would it be pointless in a Bronco?
