I am pulling a camper that is within the weight limits for my Explorer, but the last time I brought it home from the storage site, 40 minutes into the trip, I began to smell radiator fluid and before I knew it, white smoke was billowing from under my hood. I pulled over & let it cool, then drove the last 5 minutes home without incident.
Since then, we've only taken it local (30 minutes away), to see if it would happen again. (It hasn't). I'm afraid to take it anywhere.
I tried to look online to see if putting in a larger radiator would help, but couldn't seem to find anything of that nature, other than copious complaints about radiators on the '06 Explorer.
Any thoughts or recommendations? I can't just not go camping!!
