  1. Are Bronco Flat Tow Issues Resolved?

    I looked into drive shaft decouple as well but other forum members pointed out the front wheels are still connected to the transfer case while towing 4 down. There just isn't any room for a decouple In the front. Best I could come up with was a decouple on rear and steers on a tow dolly but I...
  2. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    I considered this as well thinking it could eliminate 2 problems. The flat tow issue and the EBB activating intermittently while towing issue. Talked to ford mechanic about it and he thought it would probably cause even more problems and didn't recommend it. Also states in owners manual not to...
  3. Flat Towing, unexpected brake lockup.

    I have a '23 that I have had this problem intermittently. My dealer didn't charge me for the initial inspection. Did a small software update. Don't know yet if it helped as haven't had the opportunity to tow it yet. Being it's so intermittent I am not going to drive around pointlessly waiting...
  4. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    I understand what your saying. Info on the transfer case is very limited as to its operation. I couldn't find any decent exploded views. @flip posted a detailed description of what modes are supposed to do but it didn't really help me figure out if it would make a difference just disconnecting...
  5. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    Problem with that is front still turns. I had looked into a driveshaft disconnect until someone pointed this out to me. Only way that would work is to put front wheels on a tow dolly.
  6. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    I hear you, wouldn't it be swell if ford could tell the people this has happened to exactly what they did wrong instead of just stating this or that code was thrown therefore it's your fault. I actually canceled my extended warranty from Ford and purchased a new policy that covers me if ford...
  7. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    Only thing is you have to shift it to park before neutral tow actually disables. (Theoretically) who knows with ford software...
  8. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    I can't help but wonder if the last step is what is causing the problem. Every time I push the button I question myself if it's actual off. With all the screens still enabled temporarily it's difficult to know if it's actually off at first. So I always double check a minute or so after I shut...
  9. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    Curious where you got info that Bronco "going to sleep" takes it out of flat tow. I have not heard that yet. The only issue I know of due to "going to sleep" was the EBB system problem that they attempted to address with update in January of this year. As far as I know Ford has not acknowledged...
  10. Flat Tow Bronco Raptor - what do you all think?

    I don't believe ford is working on a fix for this issue. Their fix is to blame owner. They haven't acknowledged there is an issue at this point that I'm aware of. I decided to go for it. Flat towing capability is part of the reason I bought the bronco. It sucks we have to worry about it. We just...
  11. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    Just got for 165 mil fine from ntsb for faulty backup cameras and not doing anything about it quickly enough. Seen it today on the news.
  12. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    I think there is a better chance of pigs flying before they would do that. But they could develop a monitoring system so we would know when things are amiss and stop before damage results. There are 4 speed sensors in the ten speed auto. They have the info, just need to figure out how to share...
  13. Bronco towing with RV . I have a 22 base with Mt. Any suggestions on towbars or trailers?

    Depends the size of your rv. There are 2 problems with a trailer, weight if your rv can't handle it and where to park trailer at campground. We have been motorhome camping for 20 years. Very few campgrounds have big enough spots for larger motorhomes plus trailer or a alternative place to park...
  14. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    Key word: evidence. You would definitely need irrefutable evidence to win case. What evidence did you present? That would be key in my opinion.
  15. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    If you have evidence you can hire an attorney that specializes in warranty claims. That's what I'm going to do if it happens to me.
  16. Flat Towing, unexpected brake lockup.

    I originally thought is was a service brake problem but Ford mechanic thinks it is related to the parking brake software issue. We will see what happens with new update. Bad thing is we don't have a trip in the works for quite some time I really don't feel like burning up fuel in motorhome...
  17. Flat Towing, unexpected brake lockup.

    I took mine to the dealership yesterday. It had multiple codes concerning communication issues in parking brake system. Mechanic was very knowledgeable and told me that this is not an isolated problem. He said an update seems to be causing issues. The vehicle senses movement if key is off and...
  18. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    Boy, do I hear you! We got our Bronco in January and found out about the towing issue shortly after. I spent many sleepless nights agonizing about what to do. I attempted to come up with a way to monitor the transmission status but I wasn't successful. I ended up buying a 4 camera mdvr system to...
