Broncos Pulling Trailers Pics - Add Yours

[Tech Tim]

Just picked up this 1946 M100 trailer yesterday. Had to drive 125+miles to get it and the tow back was crazy with the dry rot bias ply tires on it, but it was one heck of a score.

Where did you get your adjustable hitch? I have a rockwood ESP I'll be pulling once my Bronco arrives. The dry weight of my camper is 2950. How did your camper pull?

Amazon, Pulls great.

Pulled the SXS to Windrock TN 550 miles Hit Windrock in the Bronco then after 2 days of riding drove 30 miles to Pioneer TN and rode the SXS then drove 580 miles home. 1,800lb SXS + 300lb in extras 1300lb Trailer. Personally I felt at its limits at 75mph. But it has a ton of drag.

I definitely miss my Pioneer 1000 EPS 3 seater. Had to sell for $ towards my Bronco. Hope to get another Pioneer or Talon someday. Just curious if your Bronco is a 2.3 or 2.7?

Firstbtime out for the season longer hitch on order to avoid having to remove the spare overal rows power wise better than my old Titan I traded in suspension is quite a bit softer, so it has a little sag in the back new hitch will have less of a drop so it may help a little

Got the new hitch works really well and adjusts for multiple trailer and no longer need to remove the spare

Lots of nice looking Broncos on here, so I had to add a pic of our Rapid Red and matching Carrera. It tows great, but you've got to be careful with the turbo on any long grades or it will overheat.

Nice rig!! May I ask what your tongue weight is, total boat/trailer towing weight, and how long the trailer/boat is?

I'm waiting on my WildTrak and have a 20 foot pontoon boat on a 24 foot Load Rite Elite tandem axle trailer - my current tongue weight is 395 lbs. and total boat/trailer is pushing 4,000 lbs.

I didn't get a chance to weigh the tongue before taking the boat back to storage in Needles, so I'll have to weigh it later this year. I assume its in the 450 pound range, but I really do need to get an accurate measurement soon before I tow too much with the Bronco. We've got a Suburban we will use most of the time, but I know I'll use the Bronco on short trips.

Ok thanks on the tongue weight estimate - from the pic looks like rear suspension did not sag much and assume boat/trailer is at least 4,000 with a 10-12 % tongue weight and Bronco will do fine for short trips.

Did moving the ball down hely with the rear end sag?

I moved it up to level the trailer put a little more weight on the trailer wheels, helped a little still sags a little but mainly bought the hitch so I didn’t have to remove the spare tire to hook up the trailer

No issues pulling my little kayak trailer, but it drops the mpg more than I had hoped:

How much loss did you see?

I can't imagine it's a weight thing, maybe more aerodynamic?
