So hitch weight definitly plays into that and you can see that very easily while just parked and loading up the trailer.How much weight can I carry vs droop will I get with a hitch mounted cargo carrier? I gotta imagine too much weight will effect the front's handling too.
I understand, I will be using a hitch mounted cargo carrier for my first time, and I'm going to try to keep the weight down by putting larger, but less dense in weight items on the carrier, stuff that takes up space but weights less; while putting the tool box and cooler and etc. inside, but the overall weight in the back of the Bronco with the cargo carrier is what I'm inquiring about.So hitch weight definitly plays into that and you can see that very easily while just parked and loading up the trailer.
Total weight though plays when you are in motion. Try to stop going down hill for example — all that weight is coming down through the receiver and it will pick up your rear end if you aren’t careful. Trailer brakes and driving carefully all help, but those coilovers in the rear are designed to move so you can move over rocks and stay planted - a trailer will move them just as easily
Wrangler 2-door has a tow rating of 2000 lbs, all the others except V8 are 3500. Did you overlook the fact both are vehicles with an emphisis on off-road? Hmmm -- maybe you can't think of other body on frame SUVs because they are all full size behemoths. Okay YOU WIN!! The G-wagon is more. Congrats!For a body on frame SUV, the only thing I can think of that's been produced in the last 15 years with less than it's piss poor towing capisity would be a 2-door Wranger(?).
The SAE J2807 standard has only been used since about 2015 and it's like the horsepower ratings drop in the early 70s. They went frome brake to net, on an SAE standard, using all production belt-druven accessories and other things bolted on. Then, it dropped again for many in 2005 when another SAE standard came out requiring ISO facility and witnessed by a 3rd party among other things.For a body on frame SUV, the only thing I can think of that's been produced in the last 15 years with less than it's piss poor towing capisity would be a 2-door Wranger(?).
Not with that attitude.First this is not a 2 dr vs 4 dr thread
Enclosed box trailer or open utility trailer?I've towed my 3500lb 5x10 utility trailer between MT and WA over 3 mountain passes and have not felt more power was necessary. Mine is a 2-door Badlands, non Sas, 2.3, Manual. 4th gear up the grade gets it done @60-65mph with plenty of passing power available when needed.
with a 2.3L ecoboost v6.
No you won'tThread starter here... Well, i've made my choice. And I'm picking up my new 2024 OuterBanks in Red Chili Peper Red with a 2.3L ecoboost v6. I'll be adding the tow kit myself. ....
Open, with an expanded steel ramp.Enclosed box trailer or open utility trailer?
