Anyone see specs on towing? Was hoping for 7500 like the Ranger, but I see nothing about towing anywhere

Yeah, that's one thing that wasn't mentioned (or at least I didn't catch it if so) in the reveal. I'm going to guess, not so great.

3500? That's a real bummer! Was hoping for Class III. There goes my boat.

Will that’s to bad for the bronco. We were hope for a higher towing on The bronco. I pull a small 18’ camper with my 2018 4runner pro and was hoping that the bronco would do better thin the 4runner. 3500lbs is noting, at lease the 4runner is capable of doing 5000 pounds. We was hope for a all around suv that we could pull a camper With higher towing ,more power and still have a capable vehicle to play with on the trails.

I was disappointed with the towing numbers. But with the small motor and the big tires / high stance, Ford most likely did not want to put a big capacity number on it. Did anyone find out how much they weigh?

I think Ford needs to clarify the towing capability. It says 3500 pounds in one part of the specification, but if you scroll to the bottom, it says TBD.

I wasn't there...

I think that is the standard towing without a tow package. The real numbers based on engine choice and model will be released later.

I sure hope you're right. We may have to wait for the Raptor model in a few years to get Class II or Class III towing.

Going to hold off ordering until the full spec sheet is complete. May be getting an expedition or navigator for my tow vehicle...

I thought I retired, then I started restoring my Bronco!

Fingers crossed for a higher rating with a real tow package, at least #5000. Put a deposit down anyway, figure either I win and have a spot in line, or I get my deposit back when the numbers come out.

Yeah, idk if I believe at 3500 lbs rating. If you go under packages it says tow capability optional. Not sure what is included in that package but I would think it would up the towing at least to 5000 lbs.

With the ranger going to 7500 lbs with the 2.3 and 10 speed, I’m sure the 4 door will get at least 6k.
