• Hill-decent control: This system helps you maintain a safe speed while towing on steep descents.
• Hill-start assist: When stopped on an incline, this system helps prevent rollback and makes it easier to move again.

The features become increasingly sophisticated as you move up the Ford Bronco trim levels. Upgrades include:

• The availability of a 360-degree camera: This offers a bird’s-eye view of the Bronco’s surroundings, making it easier to navigate through tight spots or when connecting a trailer.

Available Packages for the 2024 Ford Bronco

Ford understands that you should never have to compromise safety for performance. That’s why all new 2024 Ford Bronco models are available with the Ford Co-Pilot 360 safety suite. This comprehensive package takes driver assistance to the next level with BlueCruise for hands-free highway driving and BLIS, or blind-spot information system, with a cross-traffic alert to keep an extra eye out when towing trailers. The lane-keeping system helps prevent accidental lane departure, while the pre-collision assist system with automatic emergency braking can reduce the severity of or avoid an accident altogether.

Intelligent adaptive cruise control adjusts your speed to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle ahead and includes features such as evasive steering assist, enhancing safety in potential collision situations. And, with the ever-useful rearview camera, drivers get added confidence when navigating in reverse.

Recognizing the significance of both form and function, Ford’s Sasquatch Package equips the Bronco with beefy 35-inch mud-terrain tires, beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels, electronic-locking front and rear axles, and high-clearance fender flares. These features enhance its off-road performance and add to the vehicle’s rugged and commanding appearance.

To further enhance the towing experience, opt for the Trailer Tow Prep Package, which equips your Bronco with essential upgrades for managing heavy loads. And if customization and control are what you’re after, consider the available performance bundle complete with auxiliary switches and pre-run accessory wires, giving you the freedom and flexibility to add and manage additional off-road gear to match your adventurous lifestyle.

Real-Life Towing Scenarios

Regarding actual towing situations, the 2024 Ford Bronco demonstrates its versatility and power. You can hitch a small boat or a couple of jet skis to the Raptor trim and head out for a weekend of aquatic adventure, fully utilizing its 4,500-pound towing capacity. This makes it an excellent option if you’re a water sports enthusiast who requires a dependable vehicle to transport your gear.

On solid ground, the Bronco’s base model, with a standard towing limit of 3,500 pounds, can effortlessly pull a compact travel trailer or a pop-up camper, making it ideal for family camping trips.
