14 minute towing review video. I looked at my 2022 Bronco Raptor hitch and didn't see any tow rating or tongue weight limits. With my Superduty hitch the tow rating and the tongue weight limits are labeled, which is consistent with the long standing 10% rule that the ideal tongue weight is 10% of the total loaded trailer weight. Occasionally a few pounds extra tongue weight will assist in easier towing provided the tow vehicle and hitch are rated to handle that load.
It's also worth noting, when attending the Bronco Raptor Off-roadeo this December, one of the participants mentioned concern with the hitch durability. He towed his off-road trailer and on a rough road the tongue bouncing momentum was enough to twist the rear frame cross member where the hitch receiver attaches. I don't recall the type of ball mount he was using but suspect it is what was required to properly tow the trailer.
The Bronco Raptor and Bronco tow rating (and Wranglers), unlike trucks where the rating is based on power, suspension, and braking, is based on the hitch mounting area structural strength and integrity.
"I am surprised at how good our 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor towed our inline Enclosed snowmobile trailer. Total weight around 4500lbs tow weight."
