- 2016 Ford Explorer plat
I have a recently purchased 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum 4WD/AWD with a tow package. I would like to tow my camper but its dry weight is 4200#. I have questions and need help, please. I will not be doing any work myself as I don't know anything about vehicles.
1) Can my explorer tow this weight? I'm thinking GVWR will be about 5200# after loaded.
2) It has a factory hitch and from what I can discern it is a Class III hitch. Do I need a weight distribution hitch? I plan on getting sway bars to go on it also.
3) I was told to add weight distribution shocks? If I add those, will it make it easier/able to tow this camper?
4) Any advise is greatly appreciated!
