Yea, almost none of that relates to the broncos towing capacity at all. Mentions brakes, frame, engine, transmission, driveline and tires not holding up, all of those on the bronco are already rated to tow much more in other vehicles. Youāre not going to strain the engine/drivetrain with 5k when the 2.3 is already rated to tow 7500 in the ranger and the 2.7 rated for 9k in the f150. And the abuse some of those parts will take off-road will be as much or more than any towing. The only limiting factor would be suspension and wheelbase, both of which I addressed, main point being the 4 dr has an extra 16in in the wheelbase, which means a lot more stability, so everything else being equal as it is it should easily have a slightly higher tow cap. For something with as short a wheelbase as the 2dr, that wheelbase is typical the biggest limiting factor for tow rating, not any other parts withstanding the wear and tear.
