Ford Bronco Sport Towing Capacity & Performance
Considering its spry size as a compact SUV, the mighty 2025 Ford Bronco Sport towing capacity becomes all the more impressive. For the driver seeking a vehicle they can take almost anywhere, the Bronco Sport is an excellent alternative to the larger Ford Bronco. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,700 pounds,1 this SUV is ideal for your outdoor adventures. Dive into this guide from Wally's Ford of Seneca Falls to explore Ford Bronco Sport towing accessories, packages, and capabilities by trim level so you can make an informed decision on whether this compact SUV is the right fit.
Explore the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Towing Capacity
Designers of high-performing haulers don't simply endow their models with spirited horsepower and torque, add a trailer hitch to the rear bumper, and call it a day. A towing machine thrives through the combined effort of internal and external features targeted toward safety and convenience. The Bronco Sport might be a compact model that can't pull as much as its bigger sibling, the Bronco, but when properly equipped, the Sport can hold its own.
For example, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with four-wheel drive, distributing power to all four wheels to reduce the risk of wheel slip in a pinch. The conditions won't always be ideal when towing, which is why it helps to have an extra boost of traction on your side.
Braking is also a cornerstone of towing with confidence. When you're hauling something heavy uphill, your four-wheel disc brakes, with improved traction from standard all-season tires, have your back. Thanks to the Class II Trailer Tow Package, the Ford Bronco Sport towing capacity goes up to 2,700 pounds when properly equipped on the Badlands trim. Bring a small boat to the lake for a weekend getaway, hitch up a utility trailer for a landscaping job, or simply enjoy the freedom of knowing you're behind the wheel of such a capable compact SUV.
