2024 Ford Bronco Towing Capacity

The 2024 Bronco offers six trim configurations ranging from 3,500 to 4,500 lbs. The Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands all use the 2.3L EcoBoost and share a 3,500 lb rating with identical GCWR of 8,480 lbs. The Wildtrak steps up to the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 but stays at 3,500 lbs, with a slightly higher GCWR of 8,740 lbs reflecting the heavier engine.

The Heritage Edition and Raptor both use the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and are rated at 4,500 lbs with a GCWR of 10,650 lbs. The Heritage is the interesting option here: it delivers the same towing as the Raptor without the aggressive off-road suspension and wider fenders, likely making it the better highway tow vehicle of the two. The Raptor's suspension is tuned for high-speed desert running, not steady loaded cruising.

At 3,500 to 4,500 lbs, the Bronco handles jet skis, small boats, lightweight campers, and utility trailers. It is not a substitute for a truck if you regularly tow above 4,500 lbs, but for occasional recreational towing combined with serious off-road capability, it fills a gap no other vehicle covers.
