If you could get a manual with the 2.7 you could control when the shift happens 
Considering the GOAT modes are also sold with the manual trans, I can't imagine any of them only control transmission timing. I am surprised that the automatic and manual will both be coming with the exact same GOAT modes. Wouldn't a standard "sport" mode be meaningless on a manual?

I'm also betting that GOAT modes will be something that can be changed using as built data in Forscan, only time will tell, but on Mustangs a lot of this type of thing can be modified this way. My hunch is that you will be able to change, but not choose your own, you'll be stuck with the ones available in other models. I added the 2018 Digital Dash to my 2015 Mustang and its amazing how many things you can change using this program. I

This article states the badlands and the first edition have all eight GOAT modes. I wonder how accurate it is. I keep seeing the bronco GOAT animation of going through the different modes and it looks like it may only holds 7 modes.

2019 Camaro SS has 455hp. I roadtripped one 400 miles to buy my wife's MKX, got 25mpg average on the trip, and that included an extra 20 miles of hooning around and leaving tire smoke all over. Cylinder deactivation was seamless, I wouldn't have been able to tell if the gauge display didn't tell me it was a "V4." Track mode was incredible, the 10 speed telepathically knew what gear I wanted to be in, and the exhaust popped and crackled on decel. It was a blast.
On the same route back, the MKX with the 2.7 EcoBoost only managed 24...

That would be cool if Badlands had them all....but the charts on Ford's website say 7, so I would bet that is the right number as of now. I'm not worried about losing the one mode. No one has given a single review of how this thing drives yet, so I'm not getting ahead of myself....and despite maybe hardly using it, I would still rather have rock crawl for that one day when I do need it.This article states the badlands and the first edition have all eight GOAT modes.

My FJ with 33s hunted gears like crazy going up big highway hills....so no matter what the 10 speed and much stonger engine will do that less.
Same here. Push to start then push the little button on the shifter twice. It's muscle memory at this point. I was disappointed when I realized the Badlands didn't have the sport option as that would be the mode I use the most. The good thing is, I have until December to figure out models and options

Technically I have reserved the Badlands. In reality, i may be switching to the Wildtrak and add absolutely no options(except overhead switches). My reasoning...
......GOAT modes. I would rather have sportier shifting on the HIghway and for hauling ass down ranch/lease roads. I will spend a majority of my time offroad doing just that, with the a spritz of running trails. I genuinely feel the "normal" driving mode will be fine for trail riding/rock crawling with good throttle modulation(manual mode?). If you look at it as a factory "tuner", with warranty, it just makes more sense to me.
The ONLY thing that could change that, would be seating fabric and floor coverings. Lets be honest though, there should be no reason why we cant upgrade to marine vinyl through the aftermarket or ford parts center.

I have sport mode on my f150 3.5 i dont use it. its a strategy that reflects a more aggressive tune feel and shift, the shift part on the 10 speed is wonky with the 10 speed you can manually select out gears anyways which kinda does the same thing. I would rather have the other GOAT modes.
Just my humble opinion but on a 4x4 vehicle such as this, I would much rather have a rock crawler mode than a sport mode. I plan on a tune at some point down the road anyway to improve performance.
