I have a badlands with the leather interior and I being a bigger fella (6 foot and 285 pounds) find it pretty much as comfortable as our explorer or F-150.
I like your ideas. I would also like to add an option to hide GOAT modes we do not want to see just like you can hide the information screens you do not want to see. Thus just hide ECO since I do not see a time I will ever choose to use it.
