Hi all.
I have a 2014.Explorer Sport. Bought it brand new with the factory installed tow package.
Doing my research to see how.big a.boat I can pull...
Can you guys give me some advice/info on these questions?
1. What is my max tow capacity? I believe it is 5000.
2. When you calculate the weight you are pulling....is it everything behind the hitch? Or do you have to add in everything in the Explorer to?
3. Is it safe to pull ALL the way up to the max tow capacity? Can the Explorer handle it?
4. Is it better to get a lighter single axle trailer or a heavier tandem axle if you are AT the max tow capacity?
5. Generic thoughts on max length boat you would tow with my Explorer if you were me?
Thanks everyone!!
