JUST WONDERING WHAT THE TRAILER TOWING CAPACITY ON A BRONCO WOULD BE WITH A AOD, 302 OR 351. I'M CONSIDERING A BRONCO OVER A F150 4WD FOR TOWING MY 3500 LBS CAMPER. (4000LBS MAX LOADED WITH STUFF)

 

In the '96 brochure,it lists the 5.0L/automatic with 3.55:1 axle ratio as being able to tow 6,600 pounds.The 5.8L/automatic/3.55:1 gears is listed at 7,000 pounds for a tow rating.

 

from our 96 bronco"s Owner's Guide:
Automatic
Required equipment:Super Cooling is required with trailers over 2,000 lb (907 kg).
Super Cooling and Handling/Suspension Package or trailer towing package is required with trailers over 3,500 lb (1587 kg).

5.0L w/3.55 rear:Max GCWR is 11,500 lbs.; trailer wt is 0-6600 lbs.

5.8L w/3.55 rear: Max GCWR is 2,000 lbs.; trailer wt is 0-7000 lbs.

Max trailer frontal area for both is 60 sq. ft.

GCWR is the maximum combined weight of the
towing vehicle (including passengers and cargo)
and the loaded trailer. The GCWR is specified
by the manufacturer to indicate the combined
maximum loaded weight that the vehicle is
designed to tow.

 

Awfully good information that you are passing on "AIM" I'm sure that there is more than one driver out there that wishes they had remembered what "GCWR" was. Just because your vehicle will move the weight does not mean that you are towing a safe load.

Keep up the good comment.

 

yo chaser!..yep..the only load i carry is my bigg butt..lo
