Trim Notes

Max 3,500 lb rating requires the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with the available Trailer Tow Package; the 2.3L EcoBoost I4 is rated at 3,500 lbs only with the tow package as well, but the 2.7L is the configuration typically cited for max capability.

⚠ Important

Ratings vary by wheelbase (2-door vs 4-door) and equipment. The standard tow rating without the Trailer Tow Package is lower (approximately 2,000 lbs). Verify against the specific VIN's door-jamb label and owner's manual.

◆ Gear you may need

Always confirm against your door-jamb sticker & OEM towing guide before hauling. Ratings vary by exact configuration.

Prose overview

The 2022 Ford Bronco carries a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class II hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2022 Ford Broncos on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
