the new Bronco has a humorous take on 4x4 mode, Ford calls it GOAT mode. Like, mountain goat. That's a brilliant piece of marketing

the G.O.A.T. Mode dial. The acronym is a throwback to the original Bronco's stated engineering mission—to "go over all terrain."

 I believe they now refer to GOAT mode as Goes Over Any Type of Terrain (G.O.A.T.)  ands has the drive modes Sand, Slippery, Sport, Eco, and Normal. Two additional drive modes—Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl—are available on certain Bronco Sport models.

and the model has these names for the various levels of optional equipment:

Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Badland, Wildtrak, and First Edition.... and the Sasquatch package.
 That's how you get the gear meant to humiliate your Wrangler Rubicon-owning friends: massive 35-inch Goodyear Territory mud tires on beadlock-capable wheels (lesser models get 30-, 32- or 33-inch tires); front and rear electronic differential lockers; a 4.7:1 final drive ratio; and position-sensitive Bilstein shock absorbers. 
The great thing is, you don't have to buy the very top-dog Bronco to get the Sasquatch stuff—you can turn any model into a Sasquatch, even the base trim. But depending on your driving style, there's one bit of bad news: The manual transmission won't be available with the Sasquatch package until later this year.
