Ford Explorer Towing Capacity

Steadfast & Strong

Each Ford vehicle is designed to be tough and efficient, and the Ford Explorer is no exception. Equipped with on and off-road capabilities, the Ford Explorer’s towing capacities combine the ruggedness of a pick-up truck with the stability of an SUV. Versatility is the Ford Explorer’s number one claim to fame – it is a vehicle that can do it all. With so much strength built into this vehicle, it’s difficult for other SUVs to compete with the Ford Explorer's Towing Capacity.

Towing Options

The Ford Explorer towing capacity was built to take the weight off of your shoulders. Offered in a variety of configurations and towing hardware choices, each driver is sure to find the perfect fit. You can opt for the Class IV Trailer Tow Package, which includes the Class IV frame-mounted hitch with trailer connections. This towing package comes standard with the 3.0L EcoBoost® engine and is also available with the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine and the 3.3L hybrid engine. The Ford Explorer Timberline™ model has a towing capacity of 5,300 lbs., while the Ford Explorer ST and Ford Explorer Limited trims provide a towing capacity of 5,600 lbs when properly equipped. In addition to all of the heavy pulling the Ford Explorer does, there are also new and improved safety features. Enhance your Ford Explorer’s towing capacity by adding Roll Stability Control®, which aids in maintaining control of the trailer by carefully braking and adjusting the engine power to ensure a smooth and safe ride. When you stop by Palmetto Ford, our specialists can compare different options and help you choose which configuration suits your towing needs best!
