We weren't towing a Bronco, but the whole thing turned out to be anti-climactic. I did some practice turns in a parking lot with road cones out to see which way things would go but it was no big deal. Our class A MH hangs bout 8 feet beyond the rear wheels, so when you make a turn, the tail goes...

>> I am kinda wondering if you get the transfer case into neutral....then just disconnect the entire wiring harness from the transfer case. That would surely work, but it would involve crawling under the car, something I usually like to avoid. OTOH, I generally swing bits, not wrenches, so to...

Unfortunately, from what I can see the shift motor is on the aft end of the transfer case, so you'd need to crawl under. And wrap both connectors to keep the weather out. Also, I'm not so sure that the connectors are rated for hundreds of insert/remove cycles. One reason I started this thread...

From what I can see, the warranty isn't worth much anyway if the transmission blows. If someone with 3D printing skills could fake the AWD module connector, that would be a good solution, but that's far outside my skill set. I expect that a pin probe (https://amzn.to/4cwLloz) could monitor...

First off, after much deliberation, I’ve decided *not* to buy a Bronco, in part because of the flat tow issue. However, I have put a bunch of energy into researching this, so I thought I’d share my thoughts here. I’m not suggesting anyone do what I was thinking of doing, and if you do this and...

I'm about to buy my first Bronco and hoping I might find it here. Ideally it will be a 21-23 Outer Banks Advanced, Hardtop, Lux package, 2.7L engine, in Hot Pepper Red. We're planning on flat-towing, so an already-installed base plate would be a plus. If you're selling one that's close, let me...

I'm shopping for a used Bronco, and I want one with the Advanced 4x4 mode. Some of the ads show the G.O.A.T selector with the '4A' visible, and some don't. I've been studying window stickers to figure out where this feature is listed, but can't for the life of me figure it out. Can someone give...

Interesting. I took the Freghtliner class a few weeks ago and they mentioned you might see you P-side front tire a bit warmer because it's in the stream of the exhaust from the coach. Never noticed this myself.

Thanks for that article, Corvetteman, and also for the transmissiondigest.com link; it looks like a good resource. Snooping the Hall Effect sensor would seem doable, if it's possible to get to the wiring. Re choosing the Bronco, I'm bored to tears by the anonymity of the luxury sport-utes, and...

Corvetteman, Are you working from the shop manual? What page are you looking at? I've actually been devoting some think time to this whole thing, and I think I have two goals: 1 - Something that could sense the condition and alert the RV driver 2 - The ability to log a bunch of data around...

>>Probably milivolt sensor being computer input. Seems like getting too far into the weeds to be viable<< Well that particular part of the weeds is where I spent most of my career (retired now), so it's definitely something I'd explore once I take the plunge. >> I think that even a temperature...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Some of the postings re flat towing are pretty terrifying. It sounds like there's some low-probability event that can cause the transmission to exit flat tow mode with awful results. It would be nice if there were some way of knowing the state of the transmission...

We're upgrading the vehicle we tow behind our RV, and right now the Bronco is the front runner. My interest is in having the creature comforts, and our off-roading will be limited and not particularly challenging. So I'm thinking the Outer Banks will be the right trim. But I'm not sure I...
