Good towing video from TFL. Towing a new Bronco with a total weight of 7,300 #'s is a little crazy and I wouldn't recommend towing this close to the max limit but the Ranger handled it very well! I think the MPG he did wasn't a good example as he only went 24 miles and that doesn't give you close to the real world MPG.

Also, he could've chose any year and of course he chose a 2019. :shock: Oh, Eli @Cabose-1 will be happy as he's using a Gen-Y hitch.?

They can get a bronco to tow around and you cant even get yours. I really hope you can get the ranger raptor in a timely manner.

I know some don't like them but TFL has had some good videos lately. They had another really good one that I posted a while back towing an EV. Two identical travel trailers trailers but one ICE truck and one EV. I'm looking forward to their reviews of all the new mid size trucks coming out.

I'm not surprised as most of the popular Youtubers got their Broncos way before everyone else. It is what it is at this point. ?‍♂

I like them, and have been watching them for years. I don't agree with all their opinions.. but they do as good a job or better than most vehicle journalists.

I put in a comment to test the Ranger max towing compared to that shortie Pentastar fullsize they got not too long ago. 8 speeds vs 10 and similar power, I'll bet the ranger wins by a hair.

You do realize subsequent years have a higher towing capacity? I mean with all those deleted parts the truck weighs less.

No worries by the time you add them all back on with aftermarket ones it'l be heavier than stock. :wink:
