It’s people making mistakes, and not taking responsibility for them either because they do not know what they’re doing or just ? Can’t admit that they have made mistakes.
There's a thread somewhere about it, but the consensus at least after a while was 4A made it more likely to explode the transmission. I think all or nearly all of the reports on 6g were equipped with 4A.
Seems like all confirmed cases are 4x4 Advanced, I Don't think manual or auto makes a difference, Primary cause almost always seems to be the Bronco's battery dyeing, and the TC dropping out of Neutral Tow mode when it does.
If you flat tow your Bronco the transfer case must stay in neutral, there is a simple process to put it into neutral, ”tow mode”, it is shifted by a solenoid and kept in neutral mode by this solenoid therefore you should have a towed battery charger such as the one offered for sale by RVI, you can monitor it from a tablet inside the motorhome. This will prevent the battery from losing power and the solenoid powering down. It’s really more simple than it sounds.
No it’s not. And I HATE when people say this without proof. It’s likely a software glitch that Ford has since fixed . Only failures I’ve seen in the forums were Broncos with the 4A transfer case, and most of those had towed many miles before without issue, and always followed the very clear easy to follow instructions. It clearly tells you when it’s in flat tow mode on the screen if you did it correctly.
And if that solenoid gets weak or fails and takes out the transmission, Ford will not accept responsibility for the failure. Why are you taking Ford’s side on this? Knowing they have a horrible record of denying claims.
You lost a transmission flat towing? Edit: sorry I re-read your post.
No no I didn't lose my tranny. I was trying to make a joke about Ford Bot being on this success thread and absent fom the failure threads.
Ford V10 powering your RV? I'm interested b/c I wasn't sure our Class B with the V10 could handle a full-size Bronco (we currently flat tow our very old Escape which is almost 1000lbs less in weight).Kansas to Riverside, CA., Kansas to the Canada border in North Dakota, Kansas to eastern Kentucky, Kansas to Hatch, New Mexico, Kansas to Colorado 2x.
2.7 Black Diamond automatic. We followed the printed out procedure to engage and disengage Tow Mode EVERY TIME we engaged or disengaged.
We have the procedure printed and enclosed in a plastic folder sleeve.
By the way, we live in Kansas.
I'm in the middle of our first trip towing the Braptor, about a thousand miles so far. Its a blueox base plate and towbar with a 10" Gen-Y drop hitch to raise receiver hitch to bronco height. During one segment of the trip the Battery connection failed and we a arrived with no power in the bronco at all. Took it the dealer and they fixed the connection. As far as towing goes there have been no issues. I just follow the procedure to go into tow mode and everything seems fine.
I'm not who you posed the question to but: I have a 27' Class C w V10. All good, can do 50 up most any Colorado grade. Our current 2018 has the six speed which I would say is vital. Our old 5 spd, albeit a V8, would bog or over rev.
Brake boost would remain on for a period of time then shut off making supplemental brake systems over brake at the beginning or under brake after it shut down. Pulling fuses disabled brake boost as does the new software when the rig is placed into flat tow mode.
