trail turn assist, it's pointless and just tears up the trails. (fun on ice)
goat modes - also pointless. But i also learned how to drive a stick shift when i was like 10, so i don't need computer help lol.

Downhill Descent. I pushed the button once, but in 4Lo C it doesn't exactly do much but get in the way. I don't have any of the other features/Hero buttons -- just an extra-large sauce holder.

I still haven't tried Crank-In-Gear, didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago. I meant to try it out on the trail this weekend but got distracted.

GOAT modes in general are ... gimmicky to me. I'd rather just push the button for what I need when I need it, but GOAT is the only way to OEM adjust steering/throttle sensitivities, so... kinda stuck with it if you want either of those things right now, which can occasionally be useful.

But - all of that - the one thing that gets really underused: Trailer Hitch. I had always had a pickup, and I do have a small trailer. I thought I could just use the trailer and eventually sell the pickup. But towing with the Bronco is ... it's just a lot better/easier with a pickup than on the Bronco. The only reason I keep the hitch on my Bronco is to use it to protect my bumper from trail hits now.
What is crank-in-gear?

Oh, it’s for a manual transmission. No need to reply.

Well, I've lived up in NY for many years and have adjusted to the driving habits of the prime examples I see on the road here (lol). So, I guess the one feature I use the least is (of course) the turn signals. (People should just know where I'm going and/or get outta my f-ing way!).

Trail turn assist. Not saying I'll never use it, but haven't to date in either of my Badlands starting in '22. I'm a big fan of GOAT modes
