    '03 2-door Explorer - are we being safe?

    you are good. sounds like you are going to be cautious which is always a good idea when towing anything and having the leveling hitch on the truck makes things much better and safer also having the trailer brake controller you will be fine.

    Muffler upgrade question

    Not trying to be a you know what but that thing is a truck not a rice burner tuner car. Its a truck anything biger than a 3" tip will look crazy in my opinion but that is what it is my opinion. I would recomend a Gibson or Flowmaster muffler for that year rather than a universal.
