A Powerful Setup
The 2021 Ford Bronco comes with an available 2.7L EcoBoost® engine that provides enough raw power to get the job done, especially when that job is towing or hauling. The 400 lb-ft of torque is what allows the Bronco to achieve the high capacities, as we’ll see shortly. Another impacting factor is the transmission, which plays a part as well.
A feature that directly helps the performance of your engine is the available Advanced 4x4 with Automatic On-Demand Engagement system. This is activated by the simple twist of a knob, which selects the best driving mode for the environment you’re driving through. This will help you hold steady on hazardous terrain and keeps your tow/haul in place, too.
2021 Bronco Towing Capacity
Here, we’ll see the maximum towing capacity for the Bronco, which includes some of the elements mentioned previously.
Although the Bronco has two different transmission options, the result is the same, with it achieving 3,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped. An available feature is the Class II Trailer Tow Package, which gives extra support to your Bronco in towing that 3,500 pounds.
However, it is important to keep in mind the factors that can reduce the efficiency of your towing capabilities. Take for example, these differences between passenger volume:
- 4-Door Passenger Volume (Hardtop): 103.7 cubic feet
- 4-Door Passenger Volume (Soft Top): 108.2 cubic feet
While it seats up to five, it’s also designed to be used as cargo space. The tricky part is balancing what kind of stuff you need to bring in your Bronco against what can be packed away inside the trailer. The more weight you add to the Bronco, the more strain is put on the engine to perform, and it’s possible that the towing capacity can be lessened by a few pounds.
Flat Towing the Bronco
Occasionally you’ll want to take a long adventure somewhere out past the horizon, but you’ll want to bring your Ford Bronco with you. For those unaware, you can achieve this feat through flat towing. Simply put, you attach your vehicle to the back of an RV and let it roll along on its wheels.
Something to think about when you’re getting ready to purchase a Bronco is if you want an automatic or manual transmission. While the 10-speed automatic transmission offers many benefits, the 7-speed manual transmission may be what you want. Studies have shown that vehicles hitched for flat towing operate best with a manual transmission.
