And if so, what sort of hitch are you guys running? How does your X pull for you? I know I won't be towing our 6 horse trailer with it, but I LOVE to fish and plan on getting in debt and owning a nice boat soon (haha) and just wondering how well the x towed things in your opinions. Thanks for all the help guys!! :D :D

Mike :thumbsup:

Hey Mike,

I have a 97 AWD that I use to tow my 20' boat all over the place with. The only thing that I can complain about is the saggy rear suspensions in them. I put an add-a-leaf kit in and also some Monroe coil over shocks and now it tows like a dream. I had a class 3 hitch put on for about 200 bucks total and I'm off and running. Total of about 350 bucks for everything (and a few hours to overhaul the suspension.)

I've towed 2 snowmobiles a few hundred miles, wasn't the greatest drive, she didn't like going up hills and thats where we was a goinnn', towing a lightweight boat Id do but I couldnt imagine pulling that huge boat on the back lawn with an explorer, save that for the bigger trucks. small shit it doees just fine though, dirtbike, lawnmowers etc/
