When the weekend rolls around, and you've got plans to visit some nearby lake or cabin, having an SUV with capable towing comes in handy.
The 2021 Ford Bronco towing capacity is one of the model's strongest attributes. Because the Ford Bronco has only recently returned to the streets of Glen Allen, Ashland, and Rockville, VA, there are lots of features and specifications to unpack.
At Richmond Ford West, we wanted to make researching this exciting SUV as easy as possible. So, the following is a breakdown of not just the towing capacity, but other vital performance measures, as well.
Maximum Towing Capacity of the 2021 Ford Bronco
As you'll see in the coming sections, there are numerous powertrain configurations you can select from with the 2021 Ford Bronco. What's interesting is that no matter the engine, transmission, or powertrain you choose, the maximum towing capacity is going to remain the same.
Assuming you have the Class II Trailer Tow Package equipped in your Bronco, you'll be able to reach a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Engine, Transmission, and Powertrain
While the 3,500 pounds of maximum towing remains the same, the horsepower and torque outputs of your Ford Bronco will vary, depending on the performance setup you choose.
For many, the base 4-cylinder option will have more than enough power as it produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. If you're hoping for even more oomph, though, you can choose a V6 that increases the outputs to 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
Selecting the transmission that you want is also possible. The 10-speed automatic is smooth-shifting and refined, yet there's also a groundbreaking manual option. The 7-speed manual, which comes with the base trim level, is a first within the segment. If you've always enjoyed rowing your own gears, it's definitely the way to go.
Finally, a few unique 4x4 offerings are also available, such as the part-time selectable engagement system or the advanced 4x4 system with automatic on-demand engagement.
Tow Trailers Over Any Terrain
Oftentimes, towing is going to take you off the beaten path. With the 2021 Ford Bronco, you'll have an SUV eager to explore any type of terrain.
If you have a trailer hitched to the rear end, you can customize the driving dynamics of your SUV with the available Off-Road Hero Switch Pack. What the pack does is give you the option to quickly access different off-roading equipment. So, at the flick of a switch, you can engage the stabilizer bar disconnect, the front and rear differential lock, the Trail Turn Assist system, the electronic stability control system, and more.
