People who let their wife lead a relationship shouldn't judge people with automatic transmissions.

Items with red dot are controlled by the computer / GOAT mode, not the user.
One more thing not in these tables that is apparently controlled only by GOAT mode is "Brake Over Accelerator". Per the manual, "Brake Over Accelerator" is disabled in all off-road GOAT modes (Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock, Baja).
Disabling BOA should be helpful if you're doing left-foot braking to help control throttle response when crawling.
As I understand it, when "Brake Over Accelerator" is enabled, firm steady pressure on the brake pedal will reduce engine power. Meant to be a safety feature for runaway accelerator.
When "Brake Over Accelerator" is disabled (in any off-road GOAT mode), engine power will NOT be reduced with firm steady braking.
I've done left-foot braking, but only in off-road GOAT modes - and it works fine. I haven't tried it in non-off-road mode, but I'm guessing it could behave unexpectedly. Imagine this situation: In "Normal" GOAT mode with firm steady braking and a depressed accelerator - BOA would reduce power, but then as soon as you release the brake the depressed accelerator kicks in - could cause a lurch. I haven't tested...just hypothesizing.
My off-road approach is to select an off-road GOAT mode, then setup everything else as desired.

I've always wondered if that was a possibility. Uncheck all of the boxes and only leave sport in the lineup. Would it just brick the vehicle?

I pretty much run mine exclusively in sport. Only time I get out of sport is when I need to drop into 4L on tougher obstacles.
Flashcal+
Good point.
Similarly, if Normal or Sport mode is used while driving off-road, Traction Control and Stability Control tuning might not be ideal for the off-road conditions. Sport mode in particular is designed for pavement.
I would expect that there is some modification to AdvanceTrac if you select 4H in Normal or Sport, but I haven’t seen any info from Ford. The owners manual does say that both Traction Control and Stability Control are always fully disabled in 4L but are enabled in 4H.

I don't think there's a way to default a mode other than Normal. Have you confirmed that feature? Deleting/adding GOAT modes--sure.
Yep....if you're in sport when you turn off the vehicle the next time you start up it will ask if you wish to stay in sport mode. Select yes and she stays in sport.
That's the same with any mode, and you don't need Flashcal for that. I thought you were referring to the last mode sticking without needing to manually confirm every time.

This would kill me just a little more added to the lame seat belt screen that I have to click out of. Belts are already muscle memory to me, leave me tf alone.
Spent $100 just to kill the auto start/stop nonsense.

The GOAT mode is a dummy proof button for those who are not familiar with how to manually set the rig to the off road obstacle in front of them. Lol... some interesting settings though I guess. Not a huge fan of the normal blue color.for.the display. But whatever.
So far I just leave it in normal or eco while driving hwy.
Off roading I manually set what's needed using the hero buttons. Or whatever they call em.
Love the bronco though so far. She has been a beast in all situations.
Any recommendations for southern Cali trails? So far I've done most of big bears trails besides John bull and Gold mountain.
