  2. Flat tow equipment needed to flat tow the 2021 Bronco?

    OK, which Blue Ox adapters do you have, should be BX88357 1" opening and 7/8" pin. Now the Bronco recovery brackets do vary a little. I had .18" milled out of the center of mine and there is plenty of clearance. See attach pictures: Thought all Blue Ox adapters had a 1" opening and either a...
  3. Flat tow equipment needed to flat tow the 2021 Bronco?

    Boy if that doesn't beat all, Ford says brackets are strong enough to recover with but not strong enough to tow with. Blue OX says there base plates are strong enough to tow with but not strong enough to recover with. Sounds like a bunch of lawyer BS. I'm using the Ford brackets and added the...

  5. If I flat tow a Bronco does it add mileage to odometer?

    NO, as long as you following the instructions for getting into tow mode and switch your vehicle off by pressing the push button ignition switch once without pressing any pedals as the last step.
  6. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    I have not done any towing since the download. Our motorhome is in the shop waiting on getting a new rebuild engine. Actually got to see and touch the engine today, so should be ready to go next week. I only did some stationary and rolling down a hill testing. This weekend I will let it set...
  7. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    When I was testing after the download, I tried the key fob and also locking and unlocking from inside the Bronco to see if it would reset the EBB and it did not. In hindsight I would like to know if cwik noticed if he was getting the "IN TOW MODE ALARM" when he opened the Bronco door, something...
  8. Flat Towing - Strong “burnt” smell first drive after flat tow

    Road crud on the exhaust system. Leave you heater/ac off for a few minutes when you first drive the Bronco after towing.

  10. My towing experience

    I'm definitely missing something here. When you get a spare moment please post a screen shot of your HOME screen and VEHICLE screen before selecting FEATURES & SETTINGS. Also are you IOS or Android? THANKS!!
  11. My towing experience

    Is this on your Bronco? I only see references to the F150 using this option.
  12. Curt Plug-and-Play No-Splice Trailer Wiring Harness Out For Bronco

    When you talk to the factory the key is how do they wire the trailer connector on the coach. I stripped each wire back about a 1/4" and solder them together, then put heat shrink tubing over the solder joint. I was trying to keep the connections as small as possible. They make a heat shrink...
  13. Curt Plug-and-Play No-Splice Trailer Wiring Harness Out For Bronco

    Does your motorhome have separate or combined brake/turn signal lights? Sometimes the coach lights are wired separate but the trailer connector is wired combined brake/turn. The diodes will splice in the light harness before the light assembly connectors. I would do the diodes and flat towing...
  14. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    This is interesting. The first TSB 22-2210 came out on 26 May 2022 and then it was replaced with TSB 22-2360 on 19 Sept 2022. Those are not longer in the TSB list for Bronco's. SSM 51415 came out on 7 Mar 2023. SSM 51415 2021-2023 Bronco - Neutral (4-Wheel Flat) Towing - Inconsistent...
  15. Hitch Rear Wire Harness Connections won't click in

    Some of those connectors have locks and if they are engaged they will not go together.
  16. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    Attached is my Tow Mode cheat sheet. I keep a laminated copy in the visor for quick reference. I think the key for switching Neutral Tow off is keeping your foot on the brake until after you shift to park and clear all the warnings. A lot of the time I miss the Neutral Tow Disabled message so...
  17. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    My opinion is if you are getting the brake warnings when you go in and out of tow mode you have received the download and are ready to go without pulling the fuses. To test you do not need to be connected to your motorhome. Put a block behind the low side wheel of the Bronco because it will roll...
