  1. Tow capacity will keep me from switching...

    Bronco tow capacity is limited right now by the ClassII hitch, that's all there is to it. The frame can handle a ClassIV hitch same as the Ranger since it's the same frame. The Bronco is prewired with a 4/7 pin connector, I don't see any reason to be worried about more tow capacity. Aftermarket...
  2. Tow capacity will keep me from switching...

    Mfg's like to use the SAE J2807 standard before they issue tow ratings http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/towing/1502-sae-j2807-tow-tests-the-standard Even if Ford does not test J2807 compliance up to the current Ranger's max tow rating, a Bronco owner can slap on the components to make it...

  4. Everybody PLEASE Be Calm. This is only the beginning.

    The 4-dr model seems OK to me. 2.7l Black Diamond is a good start. I would have to put a better tow hitch on it if Ford doesn't, but I think that is doable aftermarket. Seems to check a lot of boxes on the SUV wishlist. Great approach/departure/breakover, great engine power, easy to put larger...
  5. Tow capacity will keep me from switching...

    Hmm, light tow cap decreased my initial excitement. Right away I thought "Install ClassIV hitch and you have 7000lbs tow capacity!" Should be doable since it's a Ranger frame. A ClassIV hitch won't affect offroadability. Some outfit will build a hitch that mounts where the two tow hooks...
