I’ve towed my kayak trailer and so far, so good!

I see your kayak and trailer, any chance yo could hook up your Rpod and give us a report? I’m very interested in towing news as our RR was built last week and we have a similar sized trailer. We’re towing it with a ’23 Bronco Badlands 2.7 with 4.7 axles, it has amazing power, but they heat up as most new vehicles do nowadays, mostly for emissions reasons and airflow. Towing through the mountains in Arizona we often hit 240-250 degrees in engine oil temperatures, our dealership’s main service advisor tells us not to worry until it hits 270, he also says to always have full synthetic oil in it for these situations.
I’ve searched high and low on the web looking for information on how the RR will tow a travel trailer. I’m expecting it to be better as as the RR is rated to tow 5500 pounds vs the Bronco’s 3500 and class 4 vs 2 hitches, built in brake controller and other stuff. Thanks for any information you have!

Well, to start the power of the Raptor was amazing compared to my previous Bronco Wildtrak, but the gas mileage was pretty bad towing at 77 mph for two hours got around 12 mpg. I believe my jetski trailer with two GTX ski’s is about 3700 pounds. Ran truck in trailer/haul mode and stayed in 10th gear most of the time. I need yo see if the off-road pages show true engine temp not a bar graph. Hope this helps you a little.

The higher speed kills gas mileage when towing. Our F150 hybrid only gets around 14 when towing our SxS on a 6' by 12' trailer at 70 to 75.

If you use the little back arrow button on the steering wheel, you'll see the different screens you can use. Press ok on MyView, then add measurements. Once added, it'll show you just about everything the vehicle is keeping track of except tire pressure and angles. It's really slick.
