I decided to see how the new Bronco toed my 4 seat RZR on a lightweight 18' flat utility trailer last weekend.
The Bronco had plenty of power, and braking. The trailer did push the rear around a little on the highway, but it was tolerable.
While heading home a car cut me off in traffic, and I had to slam on the brakes a bit. Not a full on emergency skid, but definitely firm. I heard a crunching noise, but was only a block from home, so I continued on home. When I arrived, and inspected what the noise was, I discovered the receiver hitch had bent down around 3/4".
Has anyone had this happen? I can definitely see how it could happen. The hitch is fairly thin steel, and not gusseted anywhere. I plan on trying to bend it back, and reinforce, or replace with a Curt, and reinforce before mounting.
