I know you can enable sport on bl SAS, had anyone tried enabling tow/haul mode? Since the Raptor has it?

Yes it's possible but there are missing switches and modules to make it work correctly 100% for example the goat mode switch changes to a trailer steering switch like the F-150s in our Ranger Raptor...
So basically you use the goat mode like a mini steering wheel to steer your trailer as you back up

I don't mean backup assist. Tow/haul mode with the transmission and engine braking I mean. Now I have to have it in manual mode and lock it into 8th when I am on the hwy. It doesn't keep put of 9th and 10th otherwise. You need to babysit it on gear selections. Unlike tow/haul on the F-150
I believe they are all interconnected and connected to the camera functions as well. For example when you turn the blinker on you get a screen that shows the side of the trailer ...pretty nice I like this part the best.

I have no issues towing max weight with our 4dr BL 2.7 (off-road trailer w/ trailer brakes) and passing vehicles and/or maintaining speed limits of 70-75mph here in CO and running through all the various mountain passes. The only time I shift into manual mode and downshift is on the various 7% descents while at highway speeds. I also have a F150 3.5/10-speed that tows the same trailer in the same places. I feel the tow/haul mode benefits my f150 more than it would the Bronco.

You get way worse mpgs letting the transmission being in the highest gear. My Bronco gets best in 8th & 65 here across south dakota. It's got nothing to do with power. When only have a 2 door with a tiny tank you need to maximize mpgs.

Most recent trip 700+ mile round trip w/ the Bronco (included the wife & 2 large dogs) and averaged 16.6mpg towing down to Ouray area and back. Many times at 70-75mph. Daily driving mixed city/hwy is 18.5mpg. I’d say thats not too bad. My f150 gets 13.5mpg towing the same trailer. And power does matter climbing steep inclines and when on mountain 10k foot passes.

I can definitely understand the mpg difference due to the height of your trailer. We had a ‘21 BL 4-dr, soft top, 2.7 (non-squatch) for 1.5yrs prior to trading in for the ‘23 BL 4-dr, hard top, 2.7 (squatch) last July and this Bronco gets better mpg (2.3mpg when towing) than the previous Bronco. Only differences are sasquatch package (so larger tires, different gearing) & the hard top on the ‘23 Bronco. All other options (trim, packages & aftermarket parts) are the same.
