Bronco + Utility Trailer

[604Bronco]

Hey folks,

I'm looking to purchase a utility trailer, and although I know the Bronco can handle it, I was wondering if anyone has some pictures of a similar type trailer hooked up to their Bronco?

The one I am looking at getting is a 4 ft by 7 ft utility trailer by Stirling. Would love to see a similar (or exact same!) trailer hooked up to your Bronco. Please include the trailer size, and if you have the Sasquatch package, non Sasquatch package, or an aftermarket lift.

I'm not interested in any larger trailers or off-road trailers, camping setups, etc. Just utility please

Thanks in advance!

I have a 22 Big Bend 2Dr Squatch w the 2.7. I had this 5x8 utility before the Bronco, as I had an old Yukon as my daily, and this trailer filled all the needs of a truck. 8" drop hitch, pulls straight, no wobble. This load was 5 skid steer buckets of wet cedar mulch, and I didn't know it was back there. Don't see myself pulling anything much heavier.

Thanks. That looks very similar. Did you need an extension for your drop hitch? What size tires are on your trailer?

12 in trailer tires, tongue is about 15" off the ground when fairly level. Drop hitch is actually a 6", (I thought I had to go 8") and the distance from the hitch pin to the ball is about 15", so a tad longer than normal. Harbor Freight special. Works perfect for my needs.

I thought I needed a 6" drop, actually needed a 4" drop. Maybe someone someday can use the 6"

On my trailer the 4" drop was not enough, and the trailer was dragging a bit in the rear. I have had the death wobble trailer from a rear end over-weight once l, and don't want that experience again. (Skid steer, short trailer, lost a tire, bad deal.) I went 6", and it pulls perfect, even at highway speeds.

Is your Badlands non-sasquatch?

I’m adding a rear sway bar, trac bar bracket, and adjustable track bar to my 2 door. I haven’t towed with it yet, but I already know my utility trailer will be a little sketch with how disconnected the rear end feels.

I tow a small (maybe 1500 lb) camper.

I know you said no larger than 4x7, but that size will limit you, even for utility use. I really suggest a 5x8. You could grab full sheets of plywood with that size if you ever needed to.

adjustable track bar? how does that work? do you think it'll improve handling? similar to a pan hard bar?

Track bar and panhard bar are the same thing, just different terminology.

I have a 2” lift, so the angle and length is off. The bracket fixes the angle, the adjustability fixes the length.

I'm limited on where I can store my trailer, hence my restriction in space. I'm not likely to ever be grabbing plywood.
