whimsical thoughts, or, Expedition into a "Bronco"..
They don't even compare to the Explorer, my wife has one and its twice the size of the Bronco Sport. The new Explorer are much better than their predecessors.- Moose McClatchie

How much can I really tow safely
The other thing I did besides a WDH (Weight Distribution Hitch) is change the tires to a LT instead of a P rating the stiffer sidewall really does help with the stability of these rigs while toeing they like to sway, dance, shimmy. Not death wobble but a slight back and forth.- Moose McClatchie

LT Tires
I have Yokahama Geolanders on mine and love them. You can air them up to 80psi when towing then bring them back down to 40psi when not keeps the ride comfortable. They are very reasonably priced at America's Tire / Discount Tire store.- Moose McClatchie

Replacing Rear Axle

The reason I bought this was the seating capacity with a 9000 pound towing but it just feels weird when towing I eventually get use to it just takes...- Moose McClatchie

Replacing Rear Axle
I was looking to get away from the Independent rear suspension. I hate the way it feels when I’m towing my trailer. I use WDH with anti sway but I can feel the rear dancing as I call it back and forth not a lot like a tail heavy load just a little back and forth movement. I find it annoying...- Moose McClatchie
