  • How much can the 2021 Ford Bronco tow, and how does it drive when pulling? Russell Marine, located on Lake Martin in Alabama, lent the Bronco Nation team two jet skis and a trailer so we could go over towing with the Bronco, including tow capacity, trailer hook up, and performance.

    The Bronco only tows 3500 lbs if equipped with factory installed 53Q option. If you add a hitch and wiring yourself it is only rated at 2000 lbs and if you tow more the warranty if voided.

      Same capacity as a Jeep. You can't tow more than the vehicle weighs unless you're stupid. A small pontoon might be @3100lbs, which would be at the top end for this. The person who tries to tow a 17-25' pontoon with this is someone with a death wish.

    For several reasons, I needed to stay in the MID-size segment -- SUV or Truck -- but it HAD to be serious 4x4/off-road capable, not your garden-variety mid-size SUVs or trucks. Neither the Bronco nor Wrangler could tow enough (3500lbs is anemic), so I had to go with the Gladiator (Rubicon). And given Ford has decided not to come out with a Bronco Truck after all -- which would have been a Gladiator alternative -- the only other "serious 4x4/off-road capable" mid-size truck was the Chevy Colorado ZR2...but could never get one (chip-shortage @ GM). So all that left me only ONE choice -- a Gladiator.
    I think it could handle those jet-skis. ;-)

    How cute... "Once you get it...", if Ford would just ship it, it would be a possibility!
    I see that you all didn't have any problems getting a MIC top Bronco. And if you ever wondered if Bronco Nation was a marketing arm of Ford, just look at the manufacturer plate on Bronco Nation's Bronco... That answers the question question 100%.
    If you doubt that, ask yourself, if it has a Manufacturer plate, then why does it have a Bronco Nation sticker on the rear window?
    Pure Astroturf. Ford should just be honest and state that Bronco Nation and Ford are essentially the same, other than the illusion of independence.

      Might be a good idea unplugging your trailer lights before backing it in the water. I guess it depends on what type of lights you have incandescent or LED on the trailer. Might blow a fuse on the Bronco.
