If anyone is interested in joining my flipboard channel on RV /Bronco stuff. Here is a link I started today.

I have a similar constraint with a 4-down towing as your specifications. Your RV and mine were build on the same chassis.


Just be aware that the Curb Weight has not been finalized for the Bronco, and I'm getting worried that it's getting too close to the 5k lbs tow limits of the RV.




Trim level matters and the 2-door I'm looking for is close to the 5k lbs limit. Aftermarket bling will be sparse and the rear seats will need to come out, but that was going to happen regardless.

Very good point. My understanding is that we have a weight rating of 8,000. Am I reading it wrong? However, I am thinking of going manual for that very reason. Thanks for the heads-up.

The hitch weight is 8k lbs, but that's not the towing capacity. The GCVWR is the limit that both vehicles can weigh together. For my Ford E350 with an 8k lbs hitch, the towing capacity is still close to 5k lbs because of the GCVWR. I weigh my RV regularly on trips after filling with gas towards the beginning of a vacation. I have a really good idea of my RV capacity, weight distribution, and towing limits by using the scales to measure often.

My last trip (one week camping supplies, 3/4 fresh water) weighed 12,250 lbs. that drops my tow capacity to 6,250 lbs. At max RV weight (12,500 lbs), 6k lbs is the tow capacity. That includes the hitch and gas weight in the tow vehicle.

Just because it says 8,000 lbs does not mean you can tow 8,000 lbs.

Got it. Thanks very much for the explanation. Very helpful!!
