Based on what we know many of us cannot configure our ideal Bronco. This is not a knock on Ford. The options are excellent. Just wish we had more flexibility to configure the options.

i had planned on the badlands version and then optioning it out to be similar to F/E which I could not reserve.

Ideally I would like the marine vinyl/rubber floors combined with the sport track mode. That doesnā€™t appear to be an option as of this moment.

To get Sport mode I need to get the wildtrack version. The more I read about sport mode 2.7 eco boost, many say sport mode is a must have option. I donā€™t want the tranny constantly swapping to the highest gear to maximize mpg. Reminds me of when I had a friend that but a new in 2019 Camaro SS with 425hp. Once he got on the interstate the cylinder deactivation would kick in and it went Into limp mode.

Am I the only one that thinks that sport mode is that big of a deal to cause them to change their trim level.

I havenā€™t seen any references to sport mode. What are we talking about here?

Right here.
Ford Bronco Sport mode causing me to switch from badlands to wildtrak 502D4EB2-0BA5-402D-9DF0-7E6F0A3EF567
Iā€™m hoping thatā€™s an off-road ā€œSportā€ mode, and doesnā€™t take the place of an on-road one such as is in my 2013 Escape.

Black Diamond has sport mode and the interior you want if those are your top priorities.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the software only allows 7 modes and that's why they dropped it from Badlands and First Edition.

I'm thinking the same thing. I would really like sport mode that's in the wildtrak, something I would use way more often then Rock crawl mode. At the same time I would also want the aux switches, rubber floors and vinyl seats in the badlands.

Also the bronco doesn't come with paddle shifters. Theres a +/- button on the side of the gear lever which I do not like at all. It's one thing to not have paddle shifters but another to have manual shifting in a tiny button. This makes the sport mode even more crucial to have imho.

Better throttle response, holds gears longer to higher rpm, keeps the motor in the power band, doesnā€™t constantly change gears when up or down hills. People will tell you with the new raptor that it is sub-optimized unless you put it in sport mode.

I believe the bronco sport has paddle shifters. I hadn't payed much attention to that thing, but I think I remember that detail...

If itā€™s anything like the Raptorā€˜a modes, just switch to Baja and then transfer case back to 2WD and youā€™ll have Sport mode on major steroids.
I just googled Baja mode. It sounds promising. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I would have to travel 1.5 hours to find real rocks. I would never use the disconnect. The Wildtrak fits me better. But, I would rather have no carpet and marine vinyl.

THIS. Just get the Black Diamond. It has sport, rock crawl, rubber floors, aux switches, and vinyl seats.

I start my truck and always turn on sport mode. I turn it off when iā€™m cruising in interstate.

Iā€™ve been torn on this too. Black diamond tops out on the mid package, and I want high or lux.

like OP said, there are lots of options but thereā€™s no single model that checks each box I want, which is making my choice difficult! Hopefully there will be some ability to add a la carte, canā€™t wait for that build and price to go live!
