Hello All,
I have a 2010 V6 Ford Explorer. My wife and I are looking at campers and I want to make sure we don’t get something too big or that we aren’t prepared for what we find. So please help.
I have ordered this Class III to put onto my explorer.

With this being a Class III it says the tow capacity is 5000, but also says that with a Weight Distribution System, the capacity can be 8000. But the sticker inside my driver’s side door says the GVWR is 6190 lbs.
So my questions:
1) Since my vehicle’s GVWR is 6190, the 8000 option is out correct? Even with a WDS?
2) Do I need to add on anything else to tow a 4000-5000 lb camper? Or is the class III enough?
Thank you for your help!
