Id disconnect the rear driveshaft and you could pull it on a dolly. Depends on the engine of the other explorer and the condition its in.
 






How do you plan on pulling it? how far do you plan to go? If it's a 4wd explorer you're going to have to disconnect the driveshafts otherwise you'll burn up the auto trans if you're flat towing it or using a tow dolly. If it has a manual trans or manual. t-case put either one or both in neutral and you're good to go. If you're pulling it on a trailer with another explorer I personally wouldn't go more than a few miles with it, the explorer plus the trailer will probably be over the weight limit for the towing explorer.
 






How far are you going with it? If it's a relatively short trip in the local area to a shop, put in on a flatbed tow truck. You know, the kind that winch it onto the bed so that all 4 wheels are off the road. If you're moving it yourself a few hundred miles, rent a trailer that will take the entire vehicle off the road. If you want a tow dolly, you'll have to do what the guys above say.
 






I would tow it on a flat bed trailer.

Good luck ....
 






Don't you have AAA?
You might want to give us more information than what you gave. There are too many variables to give you a straight answer.
The best answer is have it towed.
