Among the many exciting features and capabilities that come with the Ford Bronco is the SUV's impressive towing capacity.
If you have the model properly equipped, the 2021 Ford Bronco towing capacity will reach 3,500 pounds. Overall, Ford has developed this outgoing model to deliver sturdy performance in all aspects of life around Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland, Virginia.
What does that performance look like? Just how handy is the Ford Bronco when the going gets tough? At Richmond Ford Lincoln, we decided to answer these questions for you.
The following is a breakdown of towing capacity, engine specifications, and more!
Maximum Ford Bronco Towing Capacity
There are a few unique performance setups to choose between when building your ideal Ford Bronco. What's interesting, though, is that any combination of the two available engines and two available transmissions will lead to the same towing capacity.
For 2021, the Ford Bronco will deliver 3,500 pounds of maximum towing, so long as you have the Class II Trailer Tow Package equipped.
The SUV will reach this impressive maximum towing figure in the 2-door or 4-door version, with the manual or automatic transmission, and with either the 2.3L or 2.7L engine under the hood!
How the Two Engines Stack Up in the Ford Bronco
While the towing capacity is equal in the two available engines in the 2021 Ford Bronco, the horsepower and torque outputs are not. So, while the standard offering has more than enough juice to get your model moving quickly, you can always ramp up to a larger V6 if you want to go faster.
The standard 4-cylinder powerplant generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Stepping up to the 2.7L V6 is going to turn those figures into 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
The two transmissions mentioned previously give you the chance to choose how engaged you want to be behind the wheel. The 10-speed automatic is sharp-shifting, yet the 7-speed manual is for those eager to row their own gears!
Stable Towing, Anywhere You Go
If you do use your 2021 Ford Bronco as the type of daily towing machine it can be, at some point, you may find yourself towing a trailer or ATV on an unpaved surface. If you do, the SUV will hunker down and provide unwavering levels of grip and stability.
The Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T Modes™ lets you choose between a range of driving dynamics. In all, there can be as many as eight modes to select from. Here's the full list:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
- Mud/Ruts
- Rock Crawl
- Baja
