As far as distance=unlimited. Speed, i usually hold to 65 ish, maybe 70 if conditions are perfect. Be sure to watch your 6 and check hook-up, tires and wheel bearing heat at all opportunities. Many recommend TPMS sensors, good idea, I don't have them ,,,,yet.

The owners manual doesn't say anything about distance or speed. I reviewed the manual yesterday that is posted here on 6G. I'm very interested in flat towing when I finally get it.
The harder part will be when will the Blue Ox baseplate be available. They list a 2021 Ranger, but not one for the Bronco yet.

As has been said, no restrictions in the owners manual. Should be the same as towing our Jeeps, with the t-case in neutral, no restrictions....other then common sense. My Bronco will get flat towed behind the motorhome, replacing the Jeep. I need the Roadmaster base plates.
As long as everything is in neutral (no transmission load) the distance and speeds are probably limited more by your personal bravery than any mechanical limitation. (one caveat, if you lock the axles - accidentally or intentionally - all bets are off... because that will get ugly quick).

TPMS sensors are definitely a good idea for your motorhome and whatever you are towing. I have several friends that have experienced blowouts on the trailers they are towing, and I definitely do not want to experience a tire failure on my 45,000lb motorhome! Spend the $400 and get TPMS, you can see your tire pressures on every wheel and monitor as you travel
the speed and distance you decide until the transmission burns up. Mine did after after 2k miles of towing always getting a flat tow enabled with an ok on the dash panel. $6,300.00 [not warranted] then a 4K trailer until someone figured this out. read other MANY posting on this forum. You will find many others had had catastrophic failures.
