Just have to select the right goat mode to override the mode with the HERO panel switches .

We need that configuarator so we know what we are paying for , so we can build the right one .

I might be wrong but looks like you control the sway bar and lockers here

Correct but the vehicles electronics still have some control over them. For example: the locker on My F-150 disconnects at 30mph and we don't know yet if the Bronco will be the same. We do know the Stabilizer bar reconnects at 20 mph.

I may have to go with a badlands even though I want a wildtrak, If I have to go Badlands I might put a conventional sway bar on it. I am sure Fords design is better than Jeep, but still don't trust it. A conventional sway bar will never disconnect while taking a hard corner on the street

I'm not sure if Ford has said yet how fast you can go with the sway bar disconnected, but disconecting the sway bar can yield a more comfortable ride over bumpy trails as well.

I would say sway bar disconnect is very important, but not as important as front and rear lockers.
20 mph and it will reconnect according to Ford.

Does anyone know at what speed the Front and Rear lockers engage/disengage? Might be fair to assume the sway disconnect is the same speed?
20 MPH
