The only place you'll get a definite answer as to why the Bronco has a pathetic tow capacity is from Ford engineering. No disrespect to anyone, but any answer one way or the other is speculation. Myself, I NEED the Bronco to tow more and don't see why it can't. For every reason why it can't...

I agree. I don't understand why so many people can't grasp this simple reason. I don't want to have to buy and insure 2 vehicles. It drives me crazy when people say things like, "it's an off-road vehicle, you want to tow buy a truck". Those same people are going to use their "off-road"...

I posted in another thread that "Marine Grade" vinyl does not mean quality vinyl. There is good and bad quality Marine Grade vinyl. Marine Grade simply means it is mildew and UV resistant. If your boat seats were tearing after "very light seasonal use", I'd suspect you had crap vinyl or you...

Buying 1st year of any vehicle is going to cost you. That's why I always wait. I bought a 2019 Ranger in March 2020 for $8k below sticker.

With the Bronco's tow rating being so low, I'm now onto another Ford waiting game. The Ranger Raptor. I was going to forego offroad ability and switch to luxury SUV, but since getting my current Ranger, I really enjoy having a mid-size truck. If the Ranger Raptor doesn't materialize within the...

Tool-less seat removal is a pretty simple item to engineer, so it would be nice to have this option. While their at it, maybe they could change the headrest to fold down, instead of up (when the back is down)............and bring back the flip-forward front passenger seat for access with the...

AFAIK the question has always been answered simply as, "The max tow is 3500". If you're hopeful (like I am), I read that as Ford stating what the max tow rating is now, not that it won't/can't be increased. I don't think it's ever been answered as "The final max tow rating of the Bronco is...

Hey........this thread is suppose to be about a Bronco towing a trailer that is clearly able to exceed the 3500lb current tow rating of the Bronco. Yet you guys are talking proportions, paint color, etc. WTF?! :p I really, really, really, really, really want a Bronco, but can't get one unless...

On my Ranger (2.3) I can't notice the difference in power between the two grades. I only put premium in when I plan to tow long distances. There are some on Ranger5g that say they can notice a difference, but a lot say they can't. Based on the posted dyno graph, the 2.7 shows a larger increase...

I use to do upholstery professionally. We had vinyl repaired all the time. What I don't know, is how do you repair leather? You can't fix a leather tear (and not have it noticeable), you have to replace the damaged section. With vinyl, the two edges are glued/melted together and more often...

Fully understand. I guess us towing guys are bit more reserved. It just seems that you could put a 1" spot of a certain paint color on the Bronco and it'd have 97 pages of responses in the first hour. :D

I have thought about that also and may still do it. It's been 4~5 months since I've changed it so can't remember the exact battery #, but it's one of the button cell type

I can clearly see two wheel wells, so definitely dual axle trailer. Sooooo.....what am I missing? Has this been posted and dissected before? Why is no one freaking out about this? Typically, if your towing a dual axle trailer, it's because you're hauling more than 3500lbs. I won't take offence...

It's unfortunate that Ford is using this keypad. It is ugly, but I relocated mine to the rear door pillar on my Ranger where it blends in better and is less noticeable. At first, I used it regularly simple because I park my truck beside my garage at the bottom of a hill on my property and when...

The more I look at the Bronco and the more reasons I hear why it probably can't tow squat, the more I believe that Ford could easily have the 4dr Bronco tow 6000lb+ and the 2dr 5000+. For every reason given why a Bronco can't tow, there is a vehicle out there that tows 5k+ despite that same said...

This. ⬆

Not really. Ford knows it is selling an image. They know that very very few will actually go off road. They only have to make the masses believe the Bronco is a great off road vehicle. I have no real numbers to back this up, but I'd be surprised if 1% of the Jeeps sold actually saw anything...

Based on that, I'd say you'll be more than happy with the 2.3. I'm a 2.3l Ranger owner in my late 50's. In my younger days I'd easily go through AT LEAST 4 sets of rear tires to every front set. We'd go street racing every single Fri/Sat night. I grew up on big V8's with big lumpy cams...

Thanks for the Yellow (y) Lovin' it with the black top. Really thought I'd prefer the white, but it doesn't look nearly as good as I thought it would.

I don't see the Bronco and Ranger being competitors. Different segments in my opinion. And yes, the Ranger fold down rear seat is pathetic. I just don't see how adding some shocks and slightly bigger tires changes the truck from an overlander non-competitor to competitor. I put a leveling kit...
