Hello! I'm brand new to this site, my first post!
My wife and I just bought a 2012 Ford Explorer 4x4 3.5L V6 with a maximum tow rating of 5000 lbs. Is there anyone in the Heartland family who is using an Explorer to tow with? If so, how do you like it and do you have any recommendations for tires, weight distributing hitches, and especially hard sided camper trailers? We just scrapped a 1998 Coleman Bayside pop up we wore out and are not interested in the pop up campers anymore. Been there, done that and we did love it with our kids. They are off to college and now we are more interested in a four season hard side that I don't have to crank up and pull out the slide beds etc.
Thanks so much, I'm sure I'm going to love this site.
