The Bronco is an RV-friendly companion for long adventure travels.
The new Ford Bronco is so popular that the entire world cannot get enough. Every bit of information that we find is being devoured by off-road enthusiasts. Recently, we learned that the Bronco has an 18-month waitlist for reservation requests. We have some interesting news to share with RV enthusiasts. Buyers are increasing in numbers to drive the RV. Mike Levine, Ford North America Product Communications Manager, posted a brief tweet a few days ago about the Bronco’s towing capabilities. It’s not about what the Bronco can haul, but how it can. Be towed. Towing an RV is common
What does this mean? The vehicle is attached to the back of the RV and then towed by its wheels. You don’t need a large trailer, and you won’t have to pay extra for licenses or certifications to pull one. If you don’t take the necessary steps before it happens, serious damage can be done to vehicle’s driveline and transmission parts. The vehicle will determine the extent of these steps, and sometimes it is as simple as disengaging driveshafts. The Bronco seems to be designed to simplify these steps.
Ford provided us with the basic information. The process involves placing the Bronco’s transfer box into neutral. This process is almost identical to the Jeep Wrangler which can be flat-towed with the transfer case in neutral. This is an obvious move by Ford to target Wrangler directly with the Bronco. Also, making it an appealing option for RV travellers is another attempt at Jeep’s market share.
Ford will likely provide a complete procedure for flat-towing the Bronco when it reaches customers next year. This can be found in the SUV’s manual.
