    What a great, easy to follow, clear and concise video. I am about to buy a toad vehicle and highly considering the Ford Bronco. This video has made me feel a lot better about my purchase, and made me feel safe this will work! Thanks again.

    Thank you for creating the video. Can you tell me when you flat tow the Bronco does the odometer record miles?

    It does not run the odometer up at all. That did surprise me. Our Bronco will end up a low mileage vehicle in the end.

    Do I need to go to settings and make sure 2h 4x4 reads disengaged on the display?

    The 4WD system status is not displayed in settings. Just make sure the LED above 2H is lit on the GOAT knob on the center console behind the shifter.

    Do you have a battery charger from RV to Bronco to keep the Toad battery charged?

    Yes, there is a charging circuit fed by the RV in the umbilical to keep the Bronco's battery charged. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmh6qKWDiKmqk84.html details the TOAD conversion including the charging circuit.

    How is your View handling flat towing Bronco so far? What’s the curb weight of your Bronco with Sasquatch pkg?

    I think our Badlands 2Dr V6 Sasquatch is about 4700 pounds. Pretty close to the max rating on our VS30 Sprinter based Class C. But towing has been surprisingly easy. It does slow considerably on steep grades, but acceleration and stopping around town and rolling hills is no problem. I haven’t yet taken it over any major mountain passes, but would anticipate getting into the slow lane for that.

    I thought the modulating bumper was not supported for towing the vehicle so you know for sure. I had a RV person quote me the onxy system and said the bumper is not supported

    Ben I’m making an assumption you’re on Whidbey Island?? If so, who installed your braking and tow system? Thanks

    @@makingmeetingsSTICK There are several bumper options for the Bronco. The steel modular heavy duty bumper is rated for towing. The heavy steel "tow hooks" that are part of the HD modular steel bumper are bolted directly to the frame. If you have a plastic "Capable" bumper, you will probably need a steel baseplate mounted directly to the frame.

    This set up is specifically designed to work with the factory optional Heavy Duty Steel Modular Bumper. Perhaps not for the standard “Capable” plastic bumper.
