ECO mode with 4A

Bobkopko

Jan 22, 2025

All the charts show ECO mode is only 2A. I have driven in moderate snow the last couple weeks and didn't like what i think feels like aggressive shifting in and out of 4wd in slippery mode. Being one who doesn't read directions well, I switched back to ECO and hit the 4A button. Worked great. seems less aggressive than slippery mode with smoother shifting and throttle control.
Has anyone else done this?

ECO by default is 2H, but you certainly can change it to 4A. The good thing about the Bronco is you try and do something it can’t it will stop you from proceeding…

In contrast, SPORT mode by default is 4A, but you can change it to 2A and it will run just fine

As soon as my Bronco leaves pavement, I put it right into Sport Mode. Then it gets funner!

I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

I assure you if you try and do something the car can’t, it won’t let you

Can you help me? I want to find 4a on my 2023 big Bronco OBX. So far I've only used GOAT modes and it is a pain in the ass to shift every time I come to my driveway. Is Sport mode inherently 4a or is it 2H as discussed here? How do I know aside from the truck sliding around?

Not all Bronco's have 4A. I know it comes with the Sasquatch package and possibly an option on some others.
Take a look at your Goat Mode dial and see if it is on there.

Nope, I believe you can have them all

Yup, I have all the GOAT Modes in my Badlands.

I've added Sport mode on my Badlands and believe me, you can tell a difference. I have no doubts it does what it is supposed to do.

Me too, and it works like a champ. I've also removed that stupid double honk which is THE most annoying thing when you're offroad.
