Forscan unlocks all GOAT modes with any Bronco model trim! How-to DIY instructions

[luvtofish]

The license is like $12 for a year; not a steep ask to support the devs bringing us this functionality.

Just bought the extended license. Heck yes, def worth every penny.

Now I need to figure out how to get Sport Mode enabled. Thanks for your info!

Yeah added it to mine about a month ago. It really wakes it up.

There you go! Congrats! Those mode changes are fairly straightforward.

I have, I haven’t watched the videos yet.

I watched the YouTube videos, downloaded the program, got the $12 subscription and the cable from Amazon for $65. Easiest mod I've ever done. Added sport mode and changed a few other things, double honk, start up chime, etc.

Glad to hear it’s still working. 2022 model year?

A shame Forscan unlocks came to a screeching halt after Ford nuked the engineer that showed us this gold.

Yes it's a 2022

I’m still waiting for my Bronco but I tried out Baja mode in a Raptor I rented. Awesome! I hit 100 mph on stretches of dirt road that my Ram 2500 can only do about 70 on. And it was smoooth all the way.

Did your Bronco come with it, or did you just enable it?

Added it to my black diamond

I hate to be a Debbie Downer here but....

1. I don't see all that much benefit to the different Modes.
2. I think Ford did a nice job on the "normal" mode for the Bronco.

No, I don't usually compliment Ford--whether it's their horrible treatment of some reservation holders or the worst gauge cluster design in the history of automobiles. But I have to give credit where credit is due. I think they really did a nice job calibrating the base settings. The modes, while they are a quick way to set other parameters (lockers, 4L, etc.), are not at all essential to enjoying your Bronco.

I've done some experimenting over about 3000 miles now, making changes while driving to see the differences. Throttle response is dulled in Eco mode, and it's sharpened in Sport mode. Eco mode just means I have to push the pedal a little farther to get the same acceleration. If I change from Normal to Eco on the highway I need to press the pedal a bit farther to maintain the same speed, showing that the throttle is desensitized. Sport mode makes the throttle more hair trigger sensitive, less linear, more like a shitty Nissan back in the day. Throttle response feels artificial to me in Sport mode, and with a manual I can pick my gears as I see fit.

I have a manual transmission Black Diamond. Maybe the mode benefits are greater with an automatic, not sure.

Bottom line: If you got a Bronco with a trim level that doesn't include certain modes, I think you're just fine. As time goes by I find myself just leaving it in the default mode setting, and enjoying it a lot.
