This is the first video of a four part series on how to flat tow a 6th gen Ford Bronco. In this video I give a broad overview for all the parts and components that will need to be purchased and installed, as well as a brief review for each of them. The next 3 videos will go over how to install each of these components down to all the nuts and bolts, but this video is a great place to start because if you've never flat towed anything before, it gets confusing and information is kind of difficult to come by, especially because the Bronco is still so new.
If you found this video helpful or valuable, consider sending me a tip, it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not an expert on any of this, this is just how I personally installed my stuff, so I can't guarantee anything, and if you choose to do your own work in making your Ford Bronco flat towable, you do so at your own risk.

We tow our Bronco as well. I did lots of research and found RVi for my braking system in the Bronco. Curt Manufacturing makes a plug and play for the lighting so no splicing wires. Great video

@BOOTENWAGEN 2 месяца назад

Thank you! Yes, I would've loved to have known about the Curt plug, would've saved a significant amount of hassle.

I was the guy that made that software update possible. It only took months and months of speaking with ford and its engineers. It was very frustrating

@BOOTENWAGEN 8 месяцев назад

Fascinating! If you care for it, mind telling the story? It sounds interesting.

@63GBPackerfan Год назад

Do NOT let the voltage on the battery get too low as the vehicle will go from neutral to Park. Ask me how I know.

@BOOTENWAGEN Год назад

I actually read your thread on 6G, that is terrible! Were you able to get a definitive answer from Ford that this is the car's behavior when the battery gets too low?

@63GBPackerfan Год назад

@@BOOTENWAGEN Yes, from a lead technician in Dearborn. He specifically stated that the Bronco will switch from neutral to park when the battery voltage drops too low.

@BOOTENWAGEN Год назад

@@63GBPackerfan wow, that's kind of a huge problem. Can't possibly be difficult to fix this with an over the air update, surely this would be worth the 10 software engineering hours or so over having to honor warranties for destroyed transfer cases. Or you know... a class action lawsuit.

@63GBPackerfan Год назад

@@BOOTENWAGEN Yep. Mine did get covered under warranty, but others had to pay out of pocket. I suggested a class action lawsuit, which I feel is totally warranted. I am getting the charge line installed next week though.

@BOOTENWAGEN Год назад

@@63GBPackerfan right, at least they covered it, and I can't imagine what line of logic they're using to deny people. But man, I feel like I dodged a bullet. I didn't have a charge line the first time I towed AND I forgot to turn ACC off lol.
