THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION!!! I've had two jeeps and now the Bronco and never aired down intentionally...but I will from here on out. Do you carry a compressor to re-inflate that doesn't take 20 minutes a tire? Thanks for all the information!!!...Amos
I'm thinking even at 190lb tongue weight I would definitely blow out my back...and knee and what ever else trying to lift it by hand and putting it on my hitch...I may just for fun by a hitch scale to see if I can load the trailer differently...
I really appreciate the your post too!!! I am not an authority on any weight distribution or leverage computations so all the help everyone has given me is Great!!! Thanks so much!!!
I think most of us wanted to be engineers at our younger age...Thanks for the information Bryan...I was starting to sweat a little with a camping trip coming up this week end and scrambling for solutions. I't such a light trailer...I had it weighed at a truck center, even loaded it was well...
That would solve the interference with the tongue latch and lock but it doesn't help with the crank handle...without the 13 inch extended tongue the crank hits the spare...but thanks for the quick response I really appreciate it...
That.s totally Awesome and impressive!!!! I would have never figured that out but I really appreciate your computations!!! Are you an engineer by any chance?
I have a 2023 Badlands, Sasquatch and my Rockwood 640 LTD scale weighed in at 1990 lbs and a tongue weight of 190lbs. I'm worried about a 13 inch extended tongue I needed to use because the trailer crank would hit the spare tire and interfered with the tongue ball latch. Can anyone please give...
That's totally Awesome!!! Back 15 years ago I could of bought one for $30k...too much for me so I bought my mint 85 4 Runner for $6,500...sold it and bought a $56k Badlands...I love my new Bronco but when I see a picture of the older ones I wish I had bought the 30k Bronco...
Holy Crap!!! If your head snapped that off I can't believe you didn't break your neck!!! I think God has a better plan for you...with that said you are NOT be paranoid...you should send those pictures to Ford...they need to be aware of this...If they were steel they would have bent...the way...
Thanks for the quick reply Brian...I struggle with this stuff because these Broncos are over 5000Lbs...and it's a lot of weight to maneuver around on gravel without sliding off the road. I'll air down to 25psi and see how it handles next time. Thanks so much for your thoughts...Amos
I am not knowledgeable at all...but I just weighed my 2 door Bronco badlands sasquatch 2.7 auto with a full tank and it weighs 5020lbs...with that said i was a heavy sweep on the 100 Acre rally in Missouri and on the different stages i was going from 40 to 65 mph on gravel and dirt and sliding...
Thanks for the quick reply...last year being a heavy sweep with my 2015 Jeep 2 door Rubicon manual v-6 I would put it in 4 low with a tow strap and yank them out with little issue...my Bronco is a 2.7 auto which I haven't driven an automatic in 50 years so I was a little concerned. I will use...
Sorry for the late reply...these are crazy rally drivers doing 90mph on windy gravel and dirt roads and when they loose it we come in and tow strap them out of the woods with broken axels, cv joints, wheels so your tugging on a dead car...most are Suburu wax stirs and ford Fiestas st...any...
I just got back from the scale...without me in it and a full tank of gas it was 5020lbs...you must have a lot more stuff on yours...even without you in it yours is 5270lbs...mine has the steel bumper, tow package, sasquatch rock sliders, Badlands skid plates and even with that your is 250lbs...
I just went to a local truck weigh station with my Bronco Badlands 2 door Sasquatch with our Rockwood 640 Limited pop up camper attached. The weigh station couldn't really decipher the trailer from the Bronco but total weight for both was 7,100 Lbs...my Rockwood 640 Limited pop up spec sheet...
They are nice tires that you'll probably get 50,000 miles out of...I only have 7,000 on my Sasquatch Goodyears at this point but I'll bet I'll be replacing before 40,000. Tires are expensive what ever way you go but I don't think buying BFG's is a bad decision and they are worth the extra...
