Lithia Springs Ford – What Is the 2025 Ford Bronco® Towing Capacity in Lithia Springs, GA?
If weekend plans around Sweetwater Creek, Allatoona, or the North Georgia mountains include a small camper, fishing boat, or ATV trailer, the 2025 Ford Bronco is ready to help. At Lithia Springs Ford, we are often asked one core question by in-market shoppers: what can a Bronco actually tow, and which setup do you need? Below is a clear guide that answers the towing-capacity FAQ and helps you match the right Bronco configuration to your gear and local adventures.
The headline number is straightforward. When properly equipped with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, most 2025 Bronco models – two-door and four-door – offer up to 3,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity. If your plans call for more, Bronco Raptor® is rated up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. The key phrase is properly equipped, because safe, confident towing depends on the right hardware, correct hitch setup, and staying within the specific ratings on your vehicle’s door jamb label and in the Owner’s Manual. Our team will walk you through it in minutes.
Beyond the raw numbers, the Bronco platform is built to manage loads responsibly across changing terrain. The HOSS Suspension System is tuned for control off-road without sacrificing stability on pavement. Trailer Sway Control is integrated for confidence in crosswinds or around I-20 traffic. Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes® helps you select the right drive mode for conditions – from Slippery for a rainy launch ramp to Normal on your highway tow to Lake Lanier. The available 360-degree camera can assist with hitch alignment and low-speed maneuvering, while SYNC® 4 keeps directions and towing checklists right on the 12-inch touchscreen.
What does 3,500 pounds look like in real life around Lithia Springs? In our experience with local customers, it covers a wide mix of weekend gear without going overboard. Raptor increases your headroom if you’re pulling a heavier utility trailer or a larger side-by-side. As always, confirm your specific trailer’s certified weight and add cargo, water, and accessories to your calculations before choosing a hitch and setting tongue weight.
- Small aluminum boat and trailer: Typically under 1,500 pounds – well within standard Bronco ratings.
- Two dirt bikes or a pair of ATVs: Commonly 1,200 to 2,500 pounds loaded – a great Bronco match.
- Compact teardrop or lightweight pop-up camper: Many run 1,800 to 3,000 pounds – check tongue weight carefully.
- Utility or landscaping trailer: Ranges widely – verify trailer GVWR and your Bronco’s specific limits.
- Larger off-road side-by-side on a tandem-axle trailer: Often 3,000 to 4,500 pounds – consider Bronco Raptor.
- Pick your Bronco model: Most trims are rated up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped – Bronco Raptor is up to 4,500 pounds.
- Add the right tow package: The available Class II Trailer Tow Package provides the hitch and wiring your build needs.
- Match your trailer to ratings: Confirm GVWR, loaded weight, and tongue weight – aim for roughly 10 percent tongue weight unless your trailer specifies otherwise.
- Load smart and balance: Distribute cargo over the trailer axle, secure with rated straps, and recheck tongue weight after loading.
- Dial in tech and mode: Enable Trailer Sway Control, use the rear camera for hookup, and choose the appropriate G.O.A.T. Modes® setting.
If you are deciding between engines or transmissions, both the 2.3L EcoBoost and 2.7L EcoBoost V6 builds can achieve the same 3,500-pound maximum when properly equipped. Manual or automatic transmission does not change the headline rating – what matters most is the correct tow package, your trailer setup, and staying within the axle and payload limits shown on your specific Bronco’s certification label. Sasquatch-equipped models with 35-inch tires remain strong towing companions for lighter campers and toys, though payload distribution and tongue weight are still critical. Our advisors can help you verify the exact numbers on the vehicle you choose.

Does the 2025 Ford Bronco need a special package to tow?
For most builds, yes. The available Class II Trailer Tow Package equips the hitch and wiring needed for towing within your Bronco’s rating. We can confirm package availability on the trim and body style you select.
What is the difference in towing between Bronco and Bronco Sport?
Bronco is body-on-frame and offers up to 3,500 pounds in most models when properly equipped, or up to 4,500 pounds on Bronco Raptor. Bronco Sport is a different vehicle with different ratings. If you are cross-shopping, our team will compare actual trailers and gear to the right SUV.

Does the Bronco include Trailer Sway Control?
Trailer Sway Control is included, using the Bronco’s stability systems to help detect and reduce trailer sway. Proper loading and correct tongue weight remain essential.
Can Lithia Springs Ford help set up my hitch and wiring?
Absolutely. Our service team can install the appropriate hitch components, verify 4-pin or 7-pin connections based on your trailer, and perform a light and brake function check before you head out.
