I have just picked up a 99 Explorer XLT 4D - 4x4 with a 4.0 SOHC, 3.55 rear axle. It has a class 3 hidden hith with a Voyager brake controller, a trany cooler and a KN filter, I believe the rest is stock. Id like to see if it would tow a double horse trailer with dual axles and electric brakes. The trailer weighs 1935 Ib empty with tack gear and we often only trailer one horse at a time bringing the weight to 2940 Ibs. If we travel with both horses - which would be rare - it could total 3800 Ibs. I figure we could add in another 500Ibs for a driver plus 3 passengers.
Do you think the Explorer can take the weight and would it be to much for it to handle.
Thanks
