I have an 01 limited with a 5.0 awd. Would towing a 3500 pound car and tandem axle trailed be pushing it. I have only on HUGE hill to cllimb then it's all flat land after that.
It's the altamont hill in livermore ca. if anyone knows what i'm talking about.
The 2wd vehicles do have a larger capacity due to less vehicle weight as you stated.
hey whats going on fellas.. I Am In The Process Of Buying a 03 Explorer Eddie Bauer Eddition 4.6L AWD. I Currently Reside In NYC And Plan On Moving To Texas With In The Next 45Days. So Long Story Short I Was Excited that i was going to take my new truck driving down to the south towing a uhaul trailer but unfortunately its not going to happen. I've Called multiple times and i got the same run down. Ford Explorers Or SUV's In General are not able to uhaul because there are unsafe and are known to flip.. So what do i do now? i dont have the cash to ship my things out there, it runs $1800
Welcome to the site. Thats a big ass camper for an Explorer. Will it pull it? Probably. Will it like it? Almost surely not. If you do it get a HUGE transmission cooler. A temp gauge would be recommended as well. What's the frontage on that trailer?
Frontage is how much area the front of the trailer has, your pulling that along with the weight. I'd run both coolers. Is that the empty tongue weight, or fully loaded?
Frontage is the area of the front of the trailer that would catch wind. The more frontage, the more drag or "billboard" effect. Add some incline and a headwind, and frontage can be a big deal.
