Towing Capacity

It doesn’t matter which powertrain you choose, the Ford Bronco 2021 towing capacity stands at 3500 pounds with a payload that reaches up to 1370 pounds. This can be maximized when properly equipped with the Class II Trailer Tow Package when you add the Ford Bronco tow package. This tow package includes a Trailer Sway Control feature. It automatically reduces the vehicle’s speed to correct the issue when it detects trailer sway. It works by reducing the torque of the engine and subtly increasing the brake pressure on all wheels.

Despite not having eight cylinders, the 2021 Ford Bronco still has two remarkable choices of engines available that will affect the towing capacity. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® Inline-4 engine can deliver an output of 270 HP and 310lb-ft of torque with either 7-speed manual transmission or 10-speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, the optional 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 can deliver an output of 310HP and 400lb-ft of torque with the standard 10-speed automatic transmission.

The 2021 Ford Bronco also boasts state-of-the-art towing features as follow:

• 8.4- inch base ground clearance that can go for 11.5-inch with 35-inch tires installed.

• Independent HOSS front suspension system

• Five-link HOSS rear suspension system

• AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control

• Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly (ESOF) Two-Speed Transfer Case for Part-Time 4WD

• Two-Speed Electromechanical Transfer Case (EMTC) for active 4WD

• Multiple Driving Modes such as Neutral, 4H, and 4L driving modes with ESOF and Neutral, 2H, and 4H driving mopeds with EMTC

These towing features made it possible to tow ATVs, camping trailers, and other vehicles with so much ease. This is the reason why it has been an ideal vehicle to take on an adventure. Installing other towing accessories can also greatly improve its towing performance.

If you’re planning to get the Ford Bronco Sport which is another model from the lineup. Here’s what you need to know about its towing capacity.

The Ford Bronco Sport offers two different engines similar to the Ford Bronco. The standard 1.5L EcoBoost® Engine has an output of 181HP with 190lb-ft of torque and a maximum towing capacity of 2000 pounds.

As opposed to, the 2.0L EcoBoost® Engine can deliver an output of 245HP with 275lb-ft of torque and can tow for up to 2200 pounds. Both engines are paired with 8-speed automatic transmission.
