Anyone towing a Bronco 2.7 w/ brake issues?
The 2.7L Bronco uses electronic brake boost (EBB). 2.3L uses old vacuum style. Issue only applies to the 2.7L. The Battery Management System (BMS) turns off the EBB after ~ 15m of tow mode being engaged on the Bronco. This is called Load Shedding and is part of the newer cars preventing a battery from going dead, like leaving lights on. However, this means the braking system in a tow vehicle (RVI, Brake Buddy, etc) is initially calculated with brake boost, but after 15m there is none. Toad braking no longer exists as the remote system is calculated with boost, but the toad no longer has it active.
Trying to get some more cases and bring this up with Ford. Issue exists on newer Fords with EBB, including 2020+ F150s, Broncos and more.
