Well we already don’t have it AND they are not going to magically give it to us for free at this point. So how about making it available and tied to a VIN as an upgrade at this point?!?!?Actually they should have just made them free across the board unless they're tied to equipment on the vehicle that model doesn't have. Don't give them reason to nickel and dime us anymore then they already do.
FORScan is a software product that can be used to diagnose and configure your Ford vehicle. It connects to your vehicle using the OBD-II port... usually via an USB -> OBD-II adapter.Please excuse my ignorance, what is Forscan?
Color me highly skeptical. Bronco is a new, configurable and high customizable 4x4 rig which is a unique service challenge for Ford. The most likely outcome is this will be locked out via OTA update.They won’t. Far too risky to send out an update that would impact every Bronco just to stop a few people who use Forscan. They’ve never blocked it for any other vehicle and they won’t start now.
Exactly what I was thinking.This will add Sport to the lineup. I haven’t taken the time to confirm what Eco is yet for removal.
Also it is completely unconfirmed if adding something like Rock Crawl will throw codes. I’m not sure how important the rest of the modules will tolerate these settings so this is very much an at your own risk situation. Sport mode is simple enough but modes dealing with lockers for models that don’t have them could potentially cause errors. Or it could work fine. Seeing as how the modes are on models that don’t default with lockers I’d wager this may behave completely fine.
@D2dhanover figured out how to unlock GOAT modes with Forscan. I tried it tonight on my Badlands and instant sport mode. Took less than 5 minutes. Went on a test drive and everything seems to work exactly as intended. Activates 4A, has the full graphics package, different transmission tuning, different steering feedback, changed throttle response. To those who bought a wildtrak over a badlands to get sport mode you may have been shortsighted. Fortunately it’s not too late to change for a lot of you. Don’t pick your model based on GOAT modes. The true test will be for someone with a base to try. Or say someone with an OBX to try rock crawl.
Instructions:
My base 2dr already has sport mode, are some modles being skipped on it?

Instructions:
There are 8 total GOAT modes available, and different trims get different modes. The Base trim, for example, only has 5 GOAT modes, BB/BD/OBX get 6 GOAT modes, and both Badlands and Wildtrak get 7 GOAT modes.My base 2dr already has sport mode, are some modles being skipped on it?
I have a Wildtrack w/LUX can I add rock crawl to it . Not familiar with Forcan though

The "most likely outcome" based on what? Has Ford ever done something like that? I don't want to pay the $50 and not have the mode....but it seems like you are theorizing based on absolutley nothing except your intuition. If there is some history of Ford doing that, go ahead and post it. If it's you just thinking Ford will suddenly be out to get people, even though they've never done it in the past, ever...then no one should believe you.The most likely outcome is this will be locked out via OTA update.
