Goat Mode Bronco

What Is G.O.A.T. Mode in the Ford Bronco?
G.O.A.T. Mode, which stands for “Goes Over Any Type of Terrain,” is Ford Bronco’s signature terrain management system. It automatically adjusts the Bronco’s performance settings to help you drive confidently across a wide range of surfaces — from highways to deep mud or rocky trails.
This feature is designed for both everyday drivers and off-road enthusiasts, allowing the Bronco to adapt to road conditions with just the turn of a dial.

How G.O.A.T. Mode Works
G.O.A.T. Mode uses a combination of sensors and onboard computers to tailor the vehicle’s behavior to your chosen driving mode. When you select a mode, the system automatically adjusts:
Throttle response


Transmission shift points


Steering sensitivity


Traction and stability control


4x4 system engagement


These changes happen in real time to give you more control, better traction, and improved comfort — without needing to manually adjust any settings.

Driving Modes (May Vary by Model)
The available G.O.A.T. Modes depend on the Bronco’s model and trim level, but common options include:
Normal: Ideal for daily driving with balanced handling and smooth acceleration.


Eco: Prioritizes fuel efficiency by softening throttle response and shifting earlier.


Sport: Delivers quicker throttle and tighter steering for a more dynamic feel.


Slippery: Designed for wet, icy, or loose surfaces; reduces wheel spin and enhances stability.


Sand: Loosens traction control and adjusts power delivery to prevent bogging down in deep sand.


Mud/Ruts: Helps push through muddy or uneven terrain with improved torque and traction.


Rock Crawl: Enables low-speed precision driving over rocky ground with maximum control.


Baja: Available on certain trims, this mode is optimized for high-speed off-road driving on sand and rough trails.



How to Activate G.O.A.T. Mode
Using G.O.A.T. Mode is simple:
Locate the terrain management dial on the center console.


Turn the dial to scroll through the available modes.


Once a mode is selected, the Bronco automatically adjusts its systems to match the terrain.


There’s no need for manual configuration — the Bronco handles it for you.
