Wants , needs, can get, comes with, upgrade options.
Like I have said before itā€™s your money buy it with or without the options you want or not. Spend the extra dollar get it how you want it. Or leave the options off and take the family out for ice cream.

All things a skilled driver could do by touch. I stand by what I said.
Lol no, partially unless you're driving a manual. That is, how are you going to change the shift points manually on an auto? Mind you I'm not aware if there is a manual shift mode yet so that might be doable. Otherwise, how are you going to modulate breaks independently on each corner to change the traction control behavior? For the most part, the only thing you can really do manually is disconnect the sway bar and engage or disengage lockers.

Then donā€™t buy it with all the options or Stick with your Prius.
LOL

Dont have to use the modes, not even sure what our black diamond comes with. Goat modes were not on my priority list of features to shop for.

Picture a prius OK? The stuff I learned on and drive daily is like the total opposite of that.

So when the question is asked if I need them... no, I don't need it.

The Bronco is for my wife, I will still be daily driving the same old F-150 with a lever on the floor for 4wd and offroading the same old ranger with three sticks on the floor. So even after we get the car my world will still go on the exact same as before "goat modes" entered the picture.

No, even the most skilled driver canā€™t change the shift points or steering response. A skilled driver could push the buttons to lock the differentials and shift into 4 low.

Traction Control is NOT turned off in sport mode AFAIK. That chart is misleading, however it does deactivate auto stop/start which is missing from chart
Traction Control is turned off in every other Ford Product when sport mode is selected. :unsure:

Is sport mode really going to make a difference in the bronco?

Sorry but there is so much a driver can not do that the Goat modes do. A good driver or pilot uses technology to their advantage. It makes them a better driver or pilot. Bronco will one day have live valve shocks that will independently stiffen or soften depending on the input from the computer or sensors not just the position sensitive ones they have now. Engine timing, the turbos, transmission, steering, braking and more is all affected by Goat Modes. No matter what, we all want to improve our game and have fun. Every sport continually improves their equipment.
