I have had two explorers 95 2wd and 00 4wd, and the current 00 is suffering the SOHC timing chain problem. It still runs but will eventually die a slow, maybe sudden, death.
Here are the questions: We have towed with both, a 19 ft boat, using the bumper hitch, yes I know that is not the best and want to get away from it.
Do all the 5.0 have the tow package? Since I am new at the tow package from factory, how will I know if it is factory or aftermarket? What else comes with the tow package? Gears? Brakes? Radiator?
I am assuming the 5.0 has the better trans than the 4.0.
