I'm wussy, I like inside toilet and the comforts of home. Furnace, plenty of fresh water. 4k lbs is pushing the limit but I'm confident with an aftermarket ClassIII and stiffer rear coils I would tow that trailer. Done spent the Bronco money for a '19 Sequoia so I'm just hanging around waiting to see how it pans out.
You can still have those creature comforts with a rtt trailer. Wife gets 40gal of fresh water, on-demand hot water, tent heater, ensuite 2-room tent (w/ toilet & plumbed shower), queen size spring mattress, enclosed annex, 270awning w/ walls, inverter for coffee maker, bbq gas grill, solar, dual lithium batteries, cell booster & more for our outings.

6ā€ rise? How low do you think the Bronco sits? My offroad trailer sits pretty high & has a tongue weight of 390lbs and to give you an idea, my f150 has a 6ā€ lift & 35s and I need a 1ā€ drop. My wifeā€™s GC Trailhawk only requires a 2.5ā€ rise when towing the trailer.
It's the Bronco spare that would interfere with trailer hookup using a rise hitch.

Somewhere there was a post showing bolt centers, they were significantly different for a Bronco and a Jeep. I'm sure the aftermarket will have a custom Bronco one shortly. I have had good luck with Curt stuff.
@rdass623 This is vs the JK one. What I donā€™t know is the JL version dimensions.

Iā€™ll make my own contribution to this. Just installed a Ford hitch on my Badlands. Donā€™t know that Iā€™d pull much with this after seeing it, but maybe itā€™s stronger than it looks. I can confirm the original post. Total of 6 bolts as indicated. Here is the hitch with bumper off, and final. Note, no wiring for me yet.

Going to install this myself tomorrow morning and will try this. I'll report back if this method doesn't work.
Weā€™re you able to remove bumper without removing the spare? Thanks

You might be able to, but you risk scratching or denting the tailgate. I'd recommend taking the time to remove the spare, but I might just be overly cautious of my prized possession šŸ˜Š

No need to remove spare. 30 minute operation tops. I believe the torque was 80 for the bolts and 20 for the harness bracket. Though, be careful on the one with the sleeve. I busted the bolt at 20 JUST as it pinged.
