I think we all should wait until the New Bronco actually comes out and is driven and the engine power output specs are published. That Ford even puts a manual transmission in the the truck at all should be celebrated. The 2.3L in Mustang guise makes 310 HP and 350 tq at 3,000 RPM, which is nothing to sneeze at IMO.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
