Manual. I've only used a couple goat modes on pavement. Eco and baja (2wd) just to see. Eco with the 7mt feels weird. I don't like it. I'll switch to 4hi or lo, sway bar disco, or a hero switch if needed.
If my phone is plugged in, and I cycle the ignition, Android Auto doesn't automatically reload. I disconnect and reconnect the phone to enable Android Auto.
Very minor annoyance. 1st world problem really.
The Badlands has all the important Sasquatch components; bigger front axle, lockers, gearing if 7mt equipped. Bit of difference between the Sasquatch and "special" Badlands suspension. Trading some lift for travel. You nailed it though. Just wheels, tires, crash bars, and flares at this point...
