I've been thinking about getting a trailer for my motorcycles behind the Bronco and I was wondering how much is safe to tow. Dose anyone know what the GVWR is on the early broncos? I'd like to get as large trailer as possible....Thanks

Are you wanting the GVWR or the GCWR?
Since you are looking to pull a trailer I bet you are really looking for the GCWR.

GAWR-front) Gross Axle Weight Rating front axle: max load on the front tires see on the ground (varies D44 or D30)
GAWR-rear) Gross Axle Weight Rating rear axle: max load on the rear tires see on the ground (2 options most years)
GVWR) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Total load for the 4 tires on the ground, less then front and rear GAWR added together.
GCWR) Gross Combined Weight Rating: Total weight of vehicle and trailer tires on the ground.

GAWRs and GVWRs are fairly well known. But I don't remember ever seeing a published GCWR rating. Some guesses can be made, but I am not going to do that. I will wait and see if any real number show up first.
