Like many of you, I really was anticipating the new Bronco launch. I was extremely impressed by the engineering and design feats made by Ford. It’s a very good looking rig.
I watched the release getting more and more excited UNTIL I read the towing capacity. This was a really key opportunity to pull away two large segments of buyers(existing pickup owners and current Jeep owners). With both segments, I think towing capacity was a big deciding factor. I live in Florid, and the ability to tow a boat when needed is critical. For that reason, you see a lot of pickup trucks. You also see/hear a ton of Jeep owners wondering why they paid 30-50k for practically no towing capacity.
3500 lbs is NOTHING. It doesn’t even match the Ford Ranger.
I, like most Americans, don’t have the money to plop down 40-50k on multiple vehicles to serve multiple purposes.
I hope someone at Ford will read this and consider it for the future.
