We just came back from the Moab Off-Roadeo. Because our dog travels with us, we didn't even consider flying out. We pulled our small camping trailer/toy hauler with the Bronco from northern Minnesota all the way to Moab and back -- about 2,800 miles total. Thought some folks here might be interested in our impressions of the Bronc's towing capability.
A little background: We have a 6x12 cargo trailer/camper conversion that we use as a fully featured camper, and as a toy hauler for our two dual-sport motorcycles.
In the past, we towed it with our 2005 Ford F250 SuperDuty. Obviously, no problems towing! Because of the truck's age, we decided to retire it from towing cross-country. Last year when we towed the trailer out to Steamboat Springs, CO, we used my husband's 2022 Tacoma. The Tacoma pulled it, but the lack of torque was a real disappointment! So we decided to try towing with the Bronco, and we really hoped that we'd be pleased with the results. My Bronc is a 2-door Black Diamond Sasquatch, so we didn't know how the shorter wheelbase would affect the towing.
We were really shocked at how well the Bronco pulled the trailer!! Absolutely great performance on high-speed Interstates and going up and over the Rocky Mountains! We had no trouble maintaining whatever speed we wanted, AND.....we got 12-13 MPG, which we were really pleased with! The Bronco just made the whole towing experience effortless! We had also installed an Andersen Weight Distribution/AntiSway hitch, and that thing really works! The tongue weight was perfect, and there was absolutely no sway or bounce. The Bronco was just amazing as a tow vehicle!
The Off-Roadeo at Moab was a blast!! We had a great time, and met some really nice people. The next day we took our Bronco out into the canyons and did some exploring of our own. Moab is a pretty cool place!
