If that is a Big Tex or something close, that is a heavy trailer. (7,000-9000LB)
It looks like a 20' 100A. It's GVWR is 9,900. Trailer itself is listed as 3200 and change empty. Still heavy for an empty trailer, but just enough weight left on the Bronco's 3500 lbs tow rating for a small 250 ish pound bike ?

It must be right on the nose. All sorts of modifications to that trailer, looks like they were done to reach a certain weight.
have no idea, but that was my thought too, it’s weighted to match max capacity for testing.

That would be the logical answer but this is 6G , logic is out the window .
Ford is testing max towing weight .

I think they are filling in the Tow Chart Specs. OBX and BB non Sas will have the highest capacity because they don't have the steel bumpers, disconnect, and bash plates. Badlands and FE with Sas will be the worst having all the rock crawling stuff on them. Probably why you can't get a tow package with the FE. It is going to be a Jeep Gladiator situation.

Its going to be a pathetic 3500lb in an “SUV”.

Found this on Facebook. Just wanted to post the picture so you can see what it looks like when the bronco four-door is towing a large trailer.

OBX looking pretty good here. The painted flares don’t as bad in a darker color like this.

Definitely a 100a. Looks more like a 16’. That’s still 3000# empty. More importantly that’s a 400# tongue weight empty.
Even with no passengers or luggage the rear suspension doesn’t seem to be sagging much

Maybe and this is just speculating they installed heavier springs for testing!!!

The Bronco is an off road specialist though . If you want a SUV that tows more , there are other options .

It would be awesome if Ford was sandbagging the whole time and the final tow numbers are much higher
The tow numbers probably reflect the short wheelbase - even with electronics you can't keep up with it in the western wind. Ten miles to the equipment rental place you could white knuckle cheat it.
