Please take into account, that most camper weights are listed DRY. Once you put water in the tank and add your supplies, you're pulling a few hundred pounds more.

I've towed a 1,800 lb teardrop trailer with my Badlands (2.0 engine). I have a tow bar from Uhaul, and a 7-pin connector. I use a Curt Bluetooth brake controller. When towing, I stay around 60 MPH. The Bronco is amazing towing and can get up to speed quite quickly. Of course, gas mileage goes...

I agree with everyone here who said take it to a third-party mechanic. These 8-speed transmissions have been around for a while. You might want to take it to a transmission shop like Aamco. They might have the expertise to repair it, or replace it with a rebuilt transmission and cover that with...

I I have not removed the mount since installing it. Hopefully, all is well, and until I remove it, it is. :-)

I got this bracket and have been using it for a year or so. It clamps to the hood, so no drilling holes. https://a.co/d/8IHyx9i

I'm sure there's something to be said about modern traction control. That jeep also looked like it didn't have enough weight over the tires with the most grip. Love my BS BL and this video.

I had UHaul upgrade the 4 pin flat to a 7 pin round. Using a Curt wireless brake controller, I'm pulling a teardrop trailer with electric brakes. Been on a few short trips and everything works fine.

Thought I'd share my Badlands with a Draw Tite tow bar. The trailer weighs around 1600 lbs. Been using a 4-pin connector and things have been good. Going to upgrade to a 7-pin with a Curt wireless brake controller.

For sure, UHaul seems to offer the best prices. Cheapest quote I got by a couple hundred dollars. I've scheduled a new appointment to get the 4-pin connector they originally installed, upgraded to a 7-pin. I purchased the Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller from Amazon. It's not a cheap piece of...

Put a GMRS transceiver in mine. Got a Midland MXT275 which has all of the controls in the handset. The radio is under the drivers seat. I ran the antenna wire along the rubber door seal, then out by the upper hinge to the hood. Power comes from the 12 volt outlet in the dash via an extension cable.

I just got a hitch installed at uhaul. They used a Curt adapter (59236). The output is a 4-pin flat. I'm finding the campers i want to pull require a 7-pin to drive the brakes. The Ford wiring seems to be 4-pin which doesn't help.

I think the picture could be a lot better. So now I'm finding out that the teardrop trailers I'm looking at have 7-pin connectors and brakes. This means I need a 4 pin to 7 pin adapter and a brake controller. Or have them replace the 4 pin wiring with 7 pin.

Got the Draw Title hitch installed yesterday at U-Haul.

The kinds of chips that are in short supply are the ones that control displays and are used for memory. These chips are used by all kinds of equipment, including cars. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/01/samsung-says-auto-chip-shortage-could-hit-smartphones/?comments=1

After waiting almost two months for U-Haul to find the tow bar I paid for, I bought one from etrailer.com -- the Draw Tite. Should arrive Thursday. Hoping to get U-Haul to install it; otherwise, give me a full refund.

I ordered my Curt tow bar from UHaul around March 9 and am still waiting for it. They have no ETA and claim they are trying to source one the best they can, including other vendors. I like how the Curt fits. The tow bar from etrailers.com seems more awkward, and is back ordered to the end of...

I ordered a tow bar from U-Haul on March 9th for installation of March 21st. I am still waiting for it to arrive. Called them yesterday and was told there's a 6 to 8 week wait. That doesn't make sense if someone ordered March 1st and got it this week. In case you're interested, here's the...

I love driving my Badlands with stock rims and tires. Only thing that feels "truckish" about it is the body. The ride is smooth and forgiving. Handling is very nimble. I also have a Chevy Bolt, which has a tight suspension and you keep the tires at 38psi. That thing jostles you around.

My Badlands has no trailer package, but came with the Trailer Sway Control. So that's a big plus when I get a third-party hitch installed.

Not sure if this helps.
