New to Bronco and Ford all together. Went with a 2025 Raptor! So far very happy with it. Its main use will be to tow behind my motorhome.

Congratulations and welcome to the BN! Make sure learn and be knowledgeable regarding flat towing your Bronco. I know that some people have damaged their rigs while doing it. Lots of good information here for you. Ask and people will either give you an answer or point you in the right direction.

Welcome to the Nation!
You got the right color that’s for sure.
I have priced out flat towing equipment hitches, mounting, brake set ups, the cost gets you close to a trailer. You might consider that instead of flat towing the Bronco. Of course this was to tow an Everglades and not a Braptor. Mostly looked at trailers just to keep wear and tear off the Bronco. But I am planning on keeping mine forever.

Welcome! We're so glad to have you here.

And yes, exactly what TK said, in case you haven't started towing it yet. A battery tender while towing is now recommended from the early days. In the manual, it says to "connect a 12-volt external power source to the towed vehicle’s battery for the duration of the tow" if you're using an add-on flat tow braking system, but lots of people use one no matter what now.

I would agree with a trailer vs flat towing… would seem to save a lot of wear and tear on the rig, and though I’m guessing they’ve figured it out by now, earlier Broncos had some issues when flat towing…

I would suggest the first time you flat towing to take it to your dealer and hook it up with them present… You might search this site looking for flat towing and scan some others’ experiences…

Welcome to the tribe, btw… We are a great group interested in camaraderie and occasionally connecting for trail-riding all over the place…
