My 2020 Subaru STI has three drive modes. It defaults to Sport. If I twist the knob clockwise it goes to Sport# (more torque down low). If I hold the button down it goes to intelligent mode (less torque everywhere). I tried intelligent mode once to see how horrible it was. Never going to try it again.
I don't want ECO on a Bronco. If it came with a manual, I could do it all "manually." My 2015 Wrangler will tell me on the instrument cluster if I'm in ECO territory. It also has a green bar on the tachometer to tell me where to stay to keep it in ECO. That's fine. I don't want any more torque management, emissions helping, warranty saving, throttle by wire and wastegate actuation on turbo cars to make them more gutless.
My STI gets about 25mpg highway when I'm doing 70mph at about 5 inches of vacuum in the intake manifold. Normally it gets 20mpg combined and less when driving aggressively. It's a 15+ year old design with an 8.5:1 static compression. It's even got hydraulic power steering and no auto start/stop.
