Steering Mode
The redesigned 2024 Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor edition brings with it what Ford calls G.O.A.T. modes, or Goes Over Any-type of Terrain. The system offers alterations to steering, traction control, stability control, chassis controls, powertrain response, transmission shift points, four-wheel driveline, exhaust noise level and suspension dampening. What is shown here are Steering Mode Indicator symbols.
- Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.

Once a G.O.A.T. mode is selected, one of the steering options may be available. These are, from left to right (above), Normal, Sport, Comfort, and Off-road.
If you are seeing one of these unexpectedly, check the status of the vehicle’s G.O.A.T. mode. An accidental choice has likely been made.
Normal mode is used for daily driving. Sport mode reduces steering assist for enhanced steering feel during “spirited” driving. Comfort mode adds assist for daily driving ease. And Off-road mode adds damping for improved control during off-road driving.
There are believe it or not, seven G.O.A.T. modes available. In Normal, Slippery, Sport and Tow/haul modes, three steering modes will be available: Normal, Sport and Comfort. In Baja, Off-road and Rock crawl modes, Normal, Sport, Comfort and Off-road steering modes will be available to choose.
When the vehicle is turned off, the steering system defaults to normal.
