the biggest benefit with the goat modes is certain modes allow you to lock the front locker in 4WD Hi. In normal you cannot. it will also temper the throttle response but to me that is a big down fall which is why I seldom use them.
Which mode allows the use of the locker in high?

Yes, I see that front locker is available in 4 Hi in "MUD/RUT" and "SLIPPERY" modes. It would be nice to have that information in a simple matrix printed out to avoid researching each mode for a seldom used option like 4 Hi with front difflock. (It would be seldom used for my use anyway).

The other day I tried "slippery" mode on the highway and the throttle response was so reduced, felt like a parachute had been deployed behind the Bronco. Not a fan.

I prefer the throttle response in "sport* mode, and then just hit the 4H button. If I could disable that damn dial and default always to "sport" that would be nice, but so far no one has figured a way.

My biggest frustration with this system is that it doesn't offer the one feature that would be very useful to me, and I've wished for on every 4X4 I've had, it's 2 low! 4A low would be acceptable, but I can't get that either unless that can be done with Forscan in which case I'd be all over it.

Those charts dont mention shift points. In "Baja" mine doesnt up shift before 5000. Meh. i dont use any of them anyway. I know what I need for the situation at hand.

Thats impossible without front hub lockouts. Scratch that...

OK, not impossible but would need software and or hack to the clutch in the TC to stop it from locking when going to 4L.

Well, with the way our TC locks, it is possible but you would need to get with a tuner and see if it is something they could do. 🤔

I probably won't pursue it but if anyone figures it out I'd love to have it. I have an older Tacoma and guys have figured it out but I've always felt it was over my head and not found anyone to do it for me.

I'm not sure exactly what you want, however they can be manipulated, like many like Sport, but like to run in in 2-HI instead of 4-HI, so you just dial it to Sport and hit the 2Hi or 2A button.

No, that just pushing the button on the goat mode dial, takes 2 seconds.
Are you saying that 2 Low and 4A Low are available to me if I add Sport mode? That would take Forscan, right?
